ASK YOUR TEACHER A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 51.5-gram mass is attach

ed at the 16.0-cm mark, the fulcrum must be moved to the 39.2-cm mark for balance. What is the mass of the meter stick

Answer:

0.114 kg or 114 g

Explanation:

From the diagram attaches,

Taking the moment about the fulcrum,

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Wd = W'd'

Where W = weight of the mass, W' = weight of the meter rule, d = distance of the mass from the fulcrum, d' = distance of the meter rule.

make W'  the subject of the equation

W' = Wd/d'................ Equation 1

Given: W = mg = 0.0515(9.8) = 0.5047 N, d = (39.2-16) = 23.2 cm, d' = (49.7-39.2) = 10.5 cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

W' = 0.5047(23.2)/10.5

W' = 1.115 N.

But,

m' = W'/g

m' = 1.115/9.8

m' = 0.114 kg

m' = 114 g

If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?
evablogger [386]

Answer: A- It would increase

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}  

Where:  

F is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

G is the universal gravitation constant.  

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both objects  

r is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

<h2>If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase.  </h2>

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If
Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

v_y = u_y +gt

where:

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s

b)

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

v_x =  5 m/s

The Coriolis effect is the result of which of these?
Anarel [89]
The coriolis effect was discovered in the 19th century by Gaspard. C. Coriolis. It simply relates to anything that moves freely on the surface of the earth including apparent curvature global winds and ocean currents.
This curvature is mainly due to the rotation of the earth around its axis.

Answer:
<span>A.) The rotation of Earth on its axis</span>
