Answer:

2.56 N*m

Explanation:

Torque is force times distance, with the force being perpendicular to the distance.

If the force and distance are not perpendicular, a projection of one of the two must be used instead.

We will use the projection of the length of the shaft upon a perpendicular of the force applied. This will have a magnitude of:

Lh = L * cos(a) (I name it Lh because it is a horizontal projection in this case)

Lh = 0.2 * cos(π/5) = 0.16 m

Then:

T = f * d

T = 16 * 0.16 = 2.56 N*m

Question 14 Unsaved
defon

The correct answer is I disagree. Elements form all pure substances, but some pure substances include elements bonded together to form molecules and compounds.

Elements are pure substances but these elements also make other things such as water. The water molecule is made of two elements called oxygen and Hydrogen. Now water itself is a pure substance as it is chemically bonded hydrogen and Oxygen but it is composed of more than one element

A bar magnet is placed on a table so that the north pole faces right.
Katena32 [7]

The correct answer is C. They are pointing right to left.


Explanation.

A magnet has two poles, a north pole and a south pole.  When dealing with magnets, we define the concept of a magnetic field. A magnetic field represents the effect of the magnet on magnetic materials and moving charges in the space around the magnet. For every magnet, the magnetic field lines always point away from the north pole of the magnet towards the south pole. Since the north pole of this magnet faces right, the magnetic field lines point towards the left.

The correct answer is C. They are pointing right to left.

State Newton's first law of motion​
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

His first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia.
