Suppose that a meter stick is balanced at its center. A 0.24 kg mass is then positioned at the 6-cm mark. At what cm mark mus
t a 0.35 kg mass be placed to balance the 0.24 kg mass? (NEVER include units with the answer to ANY numerical question.)
1 answer:
Answer:
80.17 cm
Explanation:
Taking moments of forces about the center, the total clockwise moments is equal to the total counter clockwise moment:
Force * distance (counter clockwise) = force * distance (clockwise)
0.24 * 9.8 * (50 - 6) = 0.35 * 9.8 * (x - 50)
0.24 * 44 = 3.43x - 171.5
103.5 = 3.43x - 171.5
=> 3.43x = 103.5 + 171.5
3.43x = 275
x = 275/3.43 = 80.17 cm

Answer:
Explanation:
(a) The force of gravity is called an attractive force because it is the force (although weak) in which a planetary body or matter uses to attract an object towards itself.
(b) Yes, it does and the formula for force of gravity between any two object is
F = G
where m1 and m2 are masses of the first and second object respectively
r is the distance between the center of the two masses
G is the gravitational constant
Answer:
h=17357.9m
Explanation:
The atmospheric pressure is just related to the weight of an arbitrary column of gas in the atmosphere above a given area. So, if you are higher in the atmosphere less gass will be over you, which means you are bearing less gas and the pressure is less.
To calculate this, you need to use the barometric formula:
Where R is the gas constant, M the molar mass of the gas, g the acceleration of gravity, T the temperature and h the height.
Furthermore, the specific gas constant is defined by:
Therefore yo can write the barometric formula as:
at the surface of the planet (h =0) the pressure is
applying to the previuos equation:
solving for h:
h=17357.9m
