A combination lock has a 1.3-cm-diameter knob that is part of the dial you turn to unlock the lock. To turn that knob, you twist

your wrist as you grip it between your thumb and forefinger with a force of 5.0 N . Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the knob and your fingers is 0.65.
What is the most torque that you can exert on the knob without having it slip between your fingers?

Answer:

0.04225 Nm

Explanation:

N = Force applied = 5 N

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = 0.65

d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm

r = Radius of knob = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.3}{2}=0.65\ cm

Force is given by

F=N\mu\\\Rightarrow F=5\times 0.65\\\Rightarrow F=3.25\ N

When we multiply force and radius we get torque

Torque on thumb

\tau_t=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=0.021125\ Nm

Torque on forefinger

\tau_f=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.021125\ Nm

The total torque is given by

\tau=\tau_t+\tau_f\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.021125+0.021125\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.04225\ Nm

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm

Astronauts aboard the ISS move at about 8000 m/s, relative to us when we look upward.How long does an astronaut need to stay abo
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

#_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Explanation:

In order for the astronaut to be younger than the people on earth, it follows that the speed of light has a constant speed in vacuum (c = 3 108 m / s), therefore with the expressions of special relativity we have.

            t = \frac{t_p}{ \sqrt{1-  (v/c)^2} }

where t_p is the person's own time in an immobile reference frame,

           t_{p} = t \sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^2 }

let's calculate

we assume that the speed of the space station is constant

              t_p = 1 \sqrt{1 - \frac{8 \ 10^3}{3 \ 10^8} }

             t_p = 1 \sqrt{1- 2.6666 \ 10^{-5}}

             t_ =  0.99998666657   s

             

therefore the time change is

             Δt = t - t_p

             Δt = 1 - 0.9998666657                  

              Δt = 1.3333 10⁻⁵ s

this is the delay in each second, therefore we can use a direct rule of proportions. If Δt was delayed every second, how much second (#_time) is needed for a total delay of Δt = 1 s

               #_time = 1 / Δt

               #_time =\frac{1}{1.3333 \ 10^{-5}}

               #_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Two 100kg bumper cars are moving towards eachother in oppisite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car B at -10 m/s when th
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

-10 m/s

Explanation:

When two cars collide then the momentum of two cars will remains conserved

  • Mass of two cars = 100 kg
  • Speed of car A = 8 m/s
  • Speed of car B = - 10 m/s
  • After collision the speed of car B = +8 m/s

By momentum conservation equation

               m1v1i+m2v2i=m1v1f + m2v2f

               (100)(8)+(100)(-10)=(100v)+(100)(8)\\                            v=-10 m/s

omeli [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.
