A combination lock has a 1.3-cm-diameter knob that is part of the dial you turn to unlock the lock. To turn that knob, you twist

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.04225 Nm

Explanation:

N = Force applied = 5 N

$\mu$ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.65

d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm

r = Radius of knob = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.3}{2}=0.65\ cm$

Force is given by

$F=N\mu\\\Rightarrow F=5\times 0.65\\\Rightarrow F=3.25\ N$

When we multiply force and radius we get torque

Torque on thumb

$\tau_t=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=0.021125\ Nm$

Torque on forefinger

$\tau_f=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.021125\ Nm$

The total torque is given by

$\tau=\tau_t+\tau_f\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.021125+0.021125\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.04225\ Nm$

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.

Genrish500 [490]

I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)

Answer:

3kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Small Sledgehammer:

Mass:3.0

Velocity:1.5

MASS×VELOCITY=MOMENTUM

3.0×1.5= 4.5 (momentum)

Large Sledgehammer:

Mass:4.0

Velocity:0.9

4.0×0.9=3.6 (momentum)

higher momentum is the smaller Sledgehammer.

At an air show, a stunt pilot performs a vertical loop-the-loop in a circle of radius 3.63 x 103 m. During this performance the

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

189 m/s

Explanation:

The pilot will experience weightlessness when the centrifugal force, F equals his weight, W.

So, F = W

mv²/r = mg

v² = gr

v = √gr where v = velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and r = radius of loop = 3.63 × 10³ m

So, v = √gr

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 3.63 × 10³ m)

v = √(35.574 × 10³ m²/s²)

v = √(3.5574 × 10⁴ m²/s²)

v = 1.89 × 10² m/s

v = 189 m/s
