Answer: 88.2 J

Explanation: PE, OR Potential Energy, equals to mass gravity and height.

mass - 3kg

height - 3 because (8-5)

gravity is 9.8kg

so 3 times 3 times 9.8 = 88.2J

What will the reading of the voltmeter be at the instant the switch returns to position a if the inertia of the d'Arsonval movem

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

20.16 v

Explanation:

The reading of the voltmeter at the instant the switch returns to position a

L = 5H

i ( current through inductor ) = 1/L ∫ V(t) d(t) + Vo

= 1/5 ∫ 3*10^-3 d(t) + 0 = 0.6 * 10^-3 t

iL ( 1.6 s ) = 0.6 * 10^-3 * 1.6 = 0.96 mA

Rm ( resistance ) = 21 * 1000 = 21 kΩ

The reading of the voltmeter ( V )

V = IR

= 0.96 mA * 21 k Ω = 20.16 v

Find the electric field at a point midway between two charges of +40.0 × 10−9 c and +60.0 × 10−9 c separated by a distance of 30

Anna [14]

The point midway between the two charges is located 15.0 cm from one charge and 15.0 from the other charge. The electric field generated by each of the charges is
$E=k_e \frac{q}{r^2}$
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the value of the charge
r is the distance of the point at which we calculate the field from the charge (so, in this problem, r=15.0 cm=0.15 m).

Let's calculate the electric field generated by the first charge:
$E_1 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+40.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C$

While the electric field generated by the second charge is
$E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+60.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C$

Both charges are positive, this means that both electric fields are directed toward the charge. Therefore, at the point midway between the two charges the two electric fields have opposite direction, so the total electric field at that point is given by the difference between the two fields:
$E=E_2 - E_1 = 2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C - 1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C = 8000 N/C$

Guys please help me on the rest of the numbers

wel

Answer:

C. 100

D.3

E. 33.3

Explanation:

C. Mechanical Advantage=Load / Effort

= 200N

--------

100N

Therefore,. = 100

D. I. Velocity Ratio= distance moved by the effort / distance moved by load

= 30cm/10cm

= 3

II. Efficiency= M.A / V.R

= 100/3

= 33.33

Refer to the first diagram. What is the weight of the person hanging on the end of the seesaw in Newtons?

irina1246 [14]

Due to equilibrium of moments:

1) The weight of the person hanging on the left is 250 N

2) The 400 N person is 3 m from the fulcrum

3) The weight of the board is 200 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we use the principle of equilibrium of moments.

In fact, for the seesaw to be in equilibrium, the total clockwise moment must be equal to the total anticlockwise moment.

The moment of a force is defined as:

$M=Fd$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the perpendicular distance of the force from the fulcrum

In the first diagram:

- The clockwise moment is due to the person on the right is

$M_c = W_2 d_2$

where $W_2 = 500 N$ is the weight of the person and $d_2 = 2 m$ is its distance from the fulcrum

- The anticlockwise moment due to the person hanging on the left is

$M_a = W_1 d_1$

where $W_1$ is his weight and $d_1 = 4 m$ is the distance from the fulcrum

Since the seesaw is in equilibrium,

$M_c = M_a$

So we can find the weight of the person on the left:

$W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2\\W_1 = \frac{W_2 d_2}{d_1}=\frac{(500)(2)}{4}=250 N$

Again, for the seesaw to be in equilibrium, the total clockwise moment must be equal to the total anticlockwise moment.

- The clockwise moment due to the person on the right is

$M_c = W_2 d_2$

where $W_2 = 400 N$ is the weight of the person and $d_2$ is its distance from the fulcrum

- The anticlockwise moment due to the person on the left is

$M_a = W_1 d_1$

where $W_1 = 300 N$ is his weight and $d_1 = 4 m$ is the distance from the fulcrum.

Since the seesaw is in equilibrium,

$M_c = M_a$

So we can find the distance of the person on the right:

$W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2\\d_2 = \frac{W_1 d_1}{W_2}=\frac{(300)(4)}{400}=3 m$

As before, for the seesaw to be in equilibrium, the total clockwise moment must be equal to the total anticlockwise moment.

- The clockwise moment around the fulcrum this time is due to the weight of the seesaw:

$M_c = W_2 d_2$

where $W_2$ is the weight of the seesaw and $d_2 = 3 m$ is the distance of its centre of mass from the fulcrum

- The anticlockwise moment due to the person on the left is

$M_a = W_1 d_1$

where $W_1 = 600 N$ is his weight and $d_1 = 1 m$ is the distance from the fulcrum

Since the seesaw is in equilibrium,

$M_c = M_a$

So we can find the weight of the seesaw:

$W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2\\W_2 =\frac{W_1 d_1}{d_2}= \frac{(600)(1)}{3}=200 N$
