Technician A says that gears may be used to apply torque to other rotating parts. Technician B says that gears may be used to mu
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Both technicians are right.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as a rotational force that can be calculated by the formula T= F.d. Being F the force applied to a body to make it rotate and d the distance since the force is applied.  

T= F . d

So technician A is saying that gear can apply a torque to another gear, and that is true because it’s applying a rotational force to the gear next to it, in simple terms  -anytime I make something rotate, I'm generating a torque-. And for technician B, the torque also can vary as a function of the distance of the force applied (size of the gear), so, it can multiply the torque and change the rotation speed.

A 0.58 kg mass is moving horizontally with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The mass rebounds with a speed of
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

5.8\; {\rm kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Explanation:

If the mass of an object is m and the velocity of that object is v, the linear momentum of that object would be m\, v.

Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}.) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}).

Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:

\begin{aligned}& (\text{Change in Velocity}) \\ =\; & (\text{Final Velocity}) - (\text{Initial Velocity}) \\ =\; & (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1})\end{aligned}.

The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:

\begin{aligned} & \text{change in momentum} \\ =\; & (\text{mass}) \times (\text{change in velocity}) \\ =\; & 0.58\; {\rm kg} \times (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\  =\; & (-5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}})\end{aligned}.

Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be 5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Why are chemicals and hot objects never placed directly on the balance pan?
natita [175]
The answer is to retain the balance pan clean and to keep chemicals from mixing with other chemicals.  Also some chemicals can respond with the metal of the balance pan and cause it to oxidize or corrode.  Each time you use the balance pan, use weighing paper or a small dish or beaker to weigh out chemicals.
