Answer:

 m₃ = 30 kg

Explanation:

This is a problem of rotational equilibrium, let's write Newton's law for rotational equilibrium.

Let's fix our reference system in the support, the positive torques are those that create an anti-clockwise turn

Let's look for the distances to the point of support

The distance of man

      x₁ = -3 m

The distance of the bar is

      x₂ = L / 2 -3

     x₂ = 10/2 -3

     x₂ = 2 m

Remote object at the end

      x₃ = L-3

     x₃ = 10-3

     x₃ = 7 m

They give us the mass of man (m1) and the mass of the bar (m2)

Let's write the torques

      W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ - w₃ x₃ = 0

       m₁ g 3 - m₂ g 2 - m₃ g 7 = 0

       m₃ = (3m₁ -2m₂) / 7

Let's calculate

      m₃ = (3 80 -2 15) / 7

     m₃ = 30 kg

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i, has its central axis parallel to a uniform m
gogolik [260]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

The force on a coil of N turns, enclosing an area, A and carrying a current I in the presence of a magnetic field B, is :

F = N * I * A * B * sinθ

Where θ is the angle between the normal of the enclosed area and the magnetic field.

Since the normal of the area is parallel to the magnetic field, θ = 0

Hence:

F = NIABsin0

F = 0 or Zero

I need help doing this i don’t understand what to do
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

You need to write an essay with 800 to 1,200 words. That talks about the significance of one of the seminal works (Definition- a work that strongly influenced people. Example: Martin Luther King Jr's speech "I Have A Dream") in the unit and how it connects to current issues (Example- Politics). It should be clearly stated and should be well supported by research (Example- a trustworthy article talking about its influence). You should properly cite at least 3 good sources from different perspectives. (Example- a republicans view for one source, a democratic for another, and a neutral for the third) You should also use direct quotes (Example: "Let them eat cake." - Marie Antoinette) and paraphrase- put it in your own words. (Example: Marie Antoinette said that they should eat cake.) I hope this helps, good luck! :)

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of  the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.
