Your friend is constructing a balancing display for an art project. She has one rock on the left ( ms=2.25 kgms=2.25 kg ) and th

ree on the right (total mass mp=10.1 kgmp=10.1 kg ). The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is rp=0.360 m.rp=0.360 m. Answer the two questions below, using three significant digits. Part A: What is the value of the torque ( ????pτp ) produced by the pile of rocks? (Enter a positive value.)

Answer:

Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures.

Explanation:

Given details:

The mass of the rock on the left, ms = 2.25 kg

The total mass of the rocks, mp = 10.1 kg

The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks, rp = 0.360 m

(a) The torque produced by the pile of rock, T = F*rp = m*g*rp

Torque = 9.8*0.360*10.1 = 35.6328

Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures).

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of
andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where :

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

n_1=1.00 (index of refraction of air)

n_2=1.50 approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

And since n_2>n_1, we have

\frac{n_1}{n_2}

And so

\theta_2

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

6. What is the change in temperature of a metal rod that is 55.0 cm long, decreases length by 0.20 cm, and that has a coefficien
MrMuchimi

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a metal rod is 55 cm or 0.55 m

Change in length is 0.2 cm or 0.002 m

It is required to find the change in temperature of a metal rod. The coefficient of linear expansion is given by :

\alpha =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\Delta T}

\Delta T is the change in temperature

\Delta T =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\alpha }\\\\\Delta T =\dfrac{0.002}{0.55\times 12\times 10^{-6}}\\\\\Delta T= 303.03^{\circ} C

So, the change in temperature is 303.03 degrees Celsius.

The _____ of a wave is the number of wave cycles per second. this quantity is given the symbol ν and has units of s–1 or _____.
Fynjy0 [20]

The frequency of a wave is the number of wave cycles per second. this quantity is given the symbol ν and has units of s^–1 or hertz.

What is a wave ?

A wave is a dynamic disturbance of one or more quantities that propagates through time. When waves oscillate frequently around an equilibrium value at a certain frequency, they are said to be periodic.

What is a wave cycle ?

The wavelength is the measured distance in meters between two waves' peaks or troughs, which is referred to as a wave cycle. It's crucial to remember that the distance from peak to peak equals the distance from trough to trough. The length of time it takes a wave to complete one cycle is known as the wave's period.

A light bulb will glow when electrons flow through it. As the electron flow increases, the brightness increases as well. A stude
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that a light bulb will glow when electrons flow through it. As the electron flow increases, the brightness increases as well. A student hooks up two circuits containing three light bulbs in each circuit. In one circuit the lights are connected in series and in the other circuit the lights are hooked up in parallel.

If you could only see the lights in the circuit and the wires were covered up, how could you tell the type of circuit?

The type of the circuit can be determined if you loose or unscrew one light bulb, all other bulbs will be switched of if connected in series. But if the others remain on it is a parallel circuit.
