Answer:

It will be easier to break the meter rule with the long side against my knee.

Explanation:

To break the meter rule involves the principle of bending moment. The long side will require less force to generate the same amount of bending moment that will have to be generated to break the meter rule. The short side on the other hand will require more force to generate this mount of bending moment. This is because the shorter has a very small surface area, which concentrates the force on your knee. The pressure is then dissipated as more pressure to your knee. Th longer side has a lesser surface area so, most of the force is used in breaking the meter rule.

A volumetric flask made of Pyrex is calibrated at 20.0°C. It is filled to the 285-mL mark with 40.5°C glycerin. After the flask
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

V_f = 287.04 mL

Explanation:

We are given the initial/original volume of the glycerine as 285 mL.

Now, after it is finally cooled back to 20.0 °C , its volume is given by the formula;

V_f = V_i (1 + βΔT)

Where;

V_f is the final volume

V_i is the original volume = 285 mL

β is the coefficient of expansion of glycerine and from online tables, it has a value of 5.97 × 10^(-4) °C^(−1)

Δt is change in temperature = final temperature - initial temperature = 32 - 20 = 12 °C

Thus, plugging in relevant values;

V_f = 285(1 + (5.97 × 10^(-4) × 12))

V_f = 287.04 mL

What happens when a penny is dropped from a height of 20 meters? A.it falls at a constant velocity B.its mass doubles for every
Travka [436]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a penny is dropped from a height of 20 meters then it will achieve an acceleration.

As acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time. Therefore, the velocity does not remain constant.

Whereas mass of the penny will remain the same as it will not get affected when it falls. Also, there will be no change in direction of the penny as it is falling only in one direction.

The acceleration of penny is due to the force of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that the force of gravity causes it to accelerate.

A 2.8 kg grinding wheel is in the form of a solid cylinder of radius 0.1 m. a) What constant torque will bring it from rest to a
kogti [31]

Answer:

a) τ =  0.672 N m , b) θ = 150 rad , c) W = 100.8 J

Explanation:

a) for this part let's start by finding angular acceleration, when the angular velocity stops it is zero (w = 0)

       w = w₀ + α t

       α = -w₀ / t

       α = 120 / 2.5

       α = 48 rad / s²

The moment of inertia of a cylinder is

       I = ½ M R²

Let's calculate the torque

      τ = I α

      τ = ½ M R² α

      τ = ½ 2.8 0.1² 48

      τ =  0.672 N m

b) we look for the angle by kinematics

      θ = w₀ t + ½ α t2

      θ = ½ α t²

      θ = ½ 48 2.5²

      θ = 150 rad

c) work in angular movement

      W = τ θ

      W = 0.672 150

      W = 100.8 J

Speed of violet light in vacuum
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Explanation: Light travels at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum, which has a refractive index of 1.0, but it slows down to 225,000 kilometers per second in water (refractive index of 1.3; see Figure 2) and 200,000 kilometers per second in glass (refractive index of 1.5).
