A meter stick is balanced at the 50 cm mark. You tie a 20 N weight at the 20 cm mark. Where should a 30 N weight be placed so th

Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

ki77a [65]
The force of friction is given by:
f = μR, where μ is the friction coefficient and R is the reaction force, which will be equal to the weight.
100 = μ x 130
μ = 0.77

Answer the question based on this waveform.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Cannot be determined from the given information

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 24 m/s

Period = 3 seconds

To find the amplitude of the wave;

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

Hence, the information provided in this exercise isn't sufficient to find the amplitude of the waveform.

However, the given parameters can be used to calculate the frequency and wavelength of the wave.

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.
