A 1 kg rock is suspended by a massless string from one end of a meter stick at the 0 cm mark. What is the mass m suspended from

the meter stick at the 75 cm mark if the system is balanced?

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Note: For the meter stick to be balanced,

Sum of clock wise moment must be equal to sum of anti clock wise moment

Wd = W'd' ................ Equation 1

Where W = weight of the rock, d = distance of the meter stick from the point of support, W' = weight of the that must be suspended for the meter stick to be balanced, d' = distance of the mass to the point of support.

make W' the subject of the equation

W' = Wd/d'............... Equation 2

Taking our moment about the support,

Given: W = mg =  1 ×9.8 = 9.8 N, d = 50 cm, d' = (75-50) = 25 cm

Substitute into equation 2

W' = 9.8(50)/25

W' = 19.6 N.

But,

m = W'/g

m = 19.6/9.8

m = 2 kg.

How much of the matter in the universe is comprised of atoms?
Deffense [45]

Explanation:

Atoms are the components of ordinary matter, also called baryonic matter, which only represents 4% of the universe, while the remaining 96% would be formed by what is known as dark matter and dark energy which constitute two of the unsolved problems in physics.

What is the relation between inertia and mass?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass. Mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object. The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has. A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.

If jack was traveling at 100 miles in 2 hours what was his velocity in miles per second​
arsen [322]

1 hour is 3600 seconds. In 2 hours, it would be 7200 seconds.  Divide the amount of miles by seconds. 100/7200=.01388..

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?
pickupchik [31]

We don't know what kind of graph it is.

For example, it might be a graph of the pendulum's distance from center,

angle from center, speed, acceleration, total distance swung since it was

started, mass, weight, temperature, etc.


If the graph shows the pendulum's distance from center, angle from center,

speed, or acceleration, then the graph will look like a wave, with the period

of the wave being the period of the pendulum's oscillation. If the pendulum

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased,

and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.


If it was a graph of total distance the pendulum swung since it was started,

the graph wouldn't look like a wave, just a steadily rising wiggle line. If the

pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, the wiggles in the line

would be farther apart, and the average slope of any large section of the

line would be less.


If it was a graph of the pendulum's mass, weight, temperature, cost, etc.,

then the graph would be a horizontal line, and nothing that might change

the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph.
