Answer:

Yes, a small force can exert a greater torque than a large if small force has large enough lever arm.

Explanation:

We know that torque exert on an object is given by

$\tau=Force\times perpendicular\;distance$

Torque is directly proportional to force

$\tau\propto F$

Torque is directly proportional to perpendicular distance

If force is small then torque exert is small

If force is large then torque exert is large

If lever arm is small then torque is small

If lever arm is large then torque is large.

A small force exert a greater torque than a large force if small force has large enough lever arm.

Yes, a small force can exert a greater torque than a large.

Find the density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 680 atm if the density at the surface is 1030 kg/m3. Seawater has

Pie

Answer:

$1060.41kg/m^3$

Explanation:

Bulk modulus is defined as the relative change in the volume of a body produced by a unit of compressive acting uniformly over its surface:

$B=\rho _o \frac{\bigtriangleup P }{\bigtriangleup \rho}$

Hence the density of the seawater at a depth of 680atm is calculated as:-

$\rho=\rho_o +\bigtriangleup \rho=\rho_o(1+\frac{\bigtriangleup P}{B})\\\\=1030 \times (1+ \frac{(680-1)\times10^5}{2.3\times 10^9})\\=1060.41kg/m^3$

The winning time for a 500.0 mile circular race track was 3 hours and

lyudmila [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Distance traveled in a circular track is 500 miles

The winning time was 3 hours and 13 minutes. It means time is 3.217 hours.

The driver's average speed is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Its formula can be written as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.217\ h}\\\\v=155.42\ mph$

At the end of the race, the driver reaches the point form where he has started. It means the displacement of the driver is equal to 0. Hence, driver's average velocity is equal to 0.

A 5.0-kg box has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it is pulled by a horizontal force across a surface with μK = 0.50. Find the w

Maslowich

Answer:a) 34.5 N; b) 24.5 N; c) 10 N; d) 1J

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to used the second Newton law given by:

∑F= m*a

F-f=m*a where f is the friction force (uk*Normal), from this we have

F= m*a+f=5 Kg*2 m/s^2+0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 34.5 N

then f=uk*N=0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 24.5N

the net Force = (34.5-24.5)N= 10 N

Finally the work done by the net force is equal to kinetic energy change so

W=∫Force net*dr= 10 N* 0.1 m= 1J

A child walks due east on the deck of a ship at 2 miles per hour. the ship is moving north at a speed of 18 miles per hour. find

garik1379 [7]

Refer to the figure shown below.

The velocity of the child and the velocity of the ship should be added vectorially to find the speed and direction of the child relative to the water surface.

The magnitude of the child's velocity is
v = √(2² + 18²) = 18.11 mph

The direction of the child's speed is
θ = tan⁻¹ (18/2) = tan⁻¹ 9 = 83.7° north of east or counterclockwise from the eastern direction.

Answer:
The magnitude is 18.1 mph.
The direction is 84° north of east.
