Select the situation for which the torque is the smallest.

Physics
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 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>

What will be net force be if net forces are unbalanced?
malfutka [58]

Answer: If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero. If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.

An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and the
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

18.60  m/s

Explanation:

Original momentum = mv = 4000        with m = 115    

after collision   m = 115 + 100 = 215 kg

  but the total momentum is still the same (conserved)

          4000 = 215 v      shows v = 18.60 m/s

Express the number in scientific notation: 4/100
ankoles [38]

Answer:

4*10^-2

Explanation:

for the scientific notation the first number must be between 1 and 10, so in this case it is 4. 4/100 is also equal to 0.04, and if we could the number of places before 4, there are two, therefore 4 times 10 to the power of -2
