A force of F = (2.00ˆi + 3.00ˆj) N is applied to an object that is pivoted about a fixed axle aligned along the z coordinate axi

s. The force is applied at the point r = (4.00ˆi + 5.00ˆj) m.
Find:

(a) the magnitude of the net torque about the z axis

(b) the direction of the torque vector τ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force applied to object, F=(2i+3j)\ N

Position, r=(4i+5j)\ m  

(b) The cross product of force and position vector is used to find the net torque about the z axis. It is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=(2i+3j) \times (4i+5j)

\tau=\begin{pmatrix}0&0&-2\end{pmatrix}

or

\tau=(-2k)\ N-m

The torque is acting in -z axis.

(a) The magnitude of torque is given by :

|\tau|=\sqrt{(-2)^2}

|\tau|=2\ N-m

Hence, this is the required solution.

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.6 m/s. A child on a bridge, 71 m abo
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

The sum of all forces acting on an object
Zina [86]

Answer:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.

A simple pendulum consists of a mass m (the "bob") hanging on the end of a thin string of length l and negligible mass. The bob
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The pendulum frequency  is (c) the same, or very close to it

Explanation:

The simple pendulum corresponds to a simple harmonic movement, to reach this approximation in the expression of the force the sine of the angle (θ) approaches an angle value, this is only true for small angles, generally less than 15º

Sine (15th) = 0.2588

The angle in radians is 15º π / 180º = 0.26180.2588 / 0.2618

The difference between these two values ​​is less than 1.2%

for smaller angle the difference is reduced more

Therefore, the period for both the 5º and 10º angles is almost the same

An atom gains an additional electron. What is the overall charge of the ion that is formed?
jeka57 [31]

<em>An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom</em>

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.
