Is it possible to have a net torque when all of the forces sum to zero? Explain.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Yes it is possible

Explanation:

When two equal magnitude forces are acting on the rod in opposite direction

Then the net force on the system is always zero in that case

so we will have

F - F = 0

now for the system net torque due to these forces is given by

\tau = F(r_1) + F(r_2)

here we know that

r_1, r_2 = distance of the forces from reference about which torque is measured

so here we can say that net force is zero on the system while torque is not zero

in all such case object will rotate about a fixed position with change angular speed

Allyson and Adrian have decided to connect their ankles with a bungee cord; one end is tied to each person's ankle. The cord is
Damm [24]

Complete question is;

Allyson and Adrian have decided to connect their ankles with a bungee cord; one end is tied to each person's ankle. The cord is 40 feet long, but can stretch up to 120 feet. They both start from the same location. Allyson moves 10 ft/sec and Adrian moves 9 ft/sec in the directions indicated. Adrian stops moving at time t = 5.5 sec, but Allyson keeps on moving 10 ft/sec in the indicated direction. (If a coordinate system is used, assume that the girls' starting position is located at

(x, y) = (0, 0) and that Allyson and Adrian move in the positive y and negative x directions, respectively. Let one unit equal one foot.)

Compute the length of the bungee cord at t = 7 seconds. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

Length of bungee cord = 85.734 ft

Explanation:

We are told that Adrian moves 9ft/sec. Thus, at 5.5 seconds, distance he moved is; 9 ft/sec × 5.5sec = 49.5 ft in the negative x (-x) direction. Therefore, the coordinate is (-49.5, 0).

Now, Allyson has moved 10ft/sec. Thus, at 7 seconds, distance he moved would be; 10 ft/sec x 7sec = 70 feet in the positive (+y) direction. Therefore, the coordinate is (0, 70).

Now, since they started from the origin, it means (0, 0) is a coordinate. Thus, we now have 3 coordinates which are; (0, 0), (0, 70) & (-49.5,0). These 3 coordinates would therefore combine to form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the distance between Allyson and Adrian.

Thus, from pythagoras theorem, we can find the distance between them which is same as the length of the cord.

Thus;

(-49.5)² + 70² = D².

D² = 2450.25 + 4900

D = √7350.25

D = 85.734 ft

A shaving or makeup mirror is designed to magnify your face by a factor of 1.40 when your face is placed 20.0cm in front of it
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(a) convex mirror

(b) virtual and magnified

(c) 23.3 cm

Explanation:

The having mirror is convex mirror.

distance of object, u = - 20 cm

magnification, m = 1.4

(a) As the image is magnified and virtual , so the mirror is convex in nature.

(b) The image is virtual and magnified.

(c) Let the distance of image is v.

Use the formula of magnification.

m =-\frac{v}{u}\\1.4=-\frac{v}{-20}\\v =28 cm

Use the mirror equation, let the focal length is f.

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{28}+\frac{1}{20}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{28+20}{560}\\f=11.67cm

Radius of curvature, R = 2 f = 2 x 11.67 = 23.3 cm

If 36 grams of water is to be heated from 24.0°C to 48°C to make a cup of tea, how much heat must be added? The specific heat of
Vinvika [58]

We will have the following:

\begin{gathered} Q=mc\Delta T\Rightarrow Q=(36)(4.18)(48-24) \\  \\ \Rightarrow Q=3611.52 \end{gathered}

So, the heat to add is 3611.52 Joules.
