It is easier to drive In sharp nails in a piece of wood than the blunt ones why?

1 answer:

The sharp nail has a less surface area in comparison to a blunt nail and pressure is inversely proportional to area so it is easier to Hamer a sharp nail into a wood rather than having a blunt nail in wood

<h2>ANSWERS </h2>

1) The relationship in between the electrical energy carriesd by the transmission wires and the amount of the heat loss in it is due to the reason that when the electricity is flown through the wires there are some resistance found in these wires which creates a disturbance in the efficient flow of electricty.Also we know that current have an heating effect when it is in motion as due to if a large amount or magnitude of electricity is flown through the transmission wires it will carry a larger heat effected and also due to the resistance is provided by the wires and so the process of heat loss takes place.

2)It is important to minimize current in transmission wires due to minimize the heat loss and resistance on flowing electric current to make the system more efficient 

 3)Given Resistance = 250 ohms 

Electric potential = 150 volts 

so we know Power = 

volt^2/Resistance = 

=(150^2/250)(ohms/volts)

=(22500/250)watt = 90 watt 

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)= (90×2)joules = 180 joules

You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.55-kg cartons of cereal at the left end of the basket. the bas

stepan [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.

The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N

The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N

The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.

For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m

Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.
