Select the situation for which the torque is the smallest.

Physics
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

e. The torque is the same for all cases.

Explanation:

The formula for torque is:

τ = Fr

where,

τ = Torque

F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg

r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation

Therefore,

τ = mgr

a)

Here,

m = 200 kg

r = 2.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

b)

Here,

m = 20 kg

r = 25 m

Therefore,

τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

c)

Here,

m = 8 kg

r = 62.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>e. The torque is the same for all cases.</u>

A positively charged particle initially at rest on the ground accelerates upward to 160 m/s in 2.90 s . The particle has a charg
Ksju [112]

Answer:

E = 5.5 10² N /C

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

the force is electric

        F = q E

we substitute

        q E = m a

         E = \frac{m}{q} \ a               (1)

the acceleration can be found with kinematics,

        v = v₀ + a t

as the particle starts from rest v₀ = 0

        a = v / t

        a = 160 / 2.90

        a = 55.17 m / s²

 

the relationship

        q / m = 0.100 C / kg

        m / q = 10 kg / C

we use equation 1

        E = 10  55.17

        E = 551.7 N / C

        E = 5.517 10² N / C

ask for the result with two significant figures

         E = 5.5 10² N /C

MArishka [77]

Answer:

solar wind

Explanation:

the sun's atmosphere is made of hydrogen which itself made subatomic particle. These particle are constantly boiling off the sun and streaming outward at very speed. So, the sun's magnetic field and particles are called solar wind.
