: A honeybucket man is carrying his load. He has a pole 2 m long with a bucket hanging from each end. The buckets have a mass of
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment, assuming the rod is uniform rod of mass 1 kg

the center of mass of the rod will be at 1 m

assuming the system is in equilibrium,

clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment

let the distance of the man shoulder be x from the center of gravity and also is the pivot point

total mass of bucket + mass of honey = 2kg + 3 kg =  5 kg for rear bucket and

2kg + 5 kg = 7 kg for front bucket

( 5kg × ( 1+x)) + ( 1 kg × x) = 7 kg × ( 1 - x)

5 + 5 x + x = 7 - 7x

5 + 6x = 7 - 7x

6x + 7x = 7 - 5

13x = 2

x = 2 / 13 = 0.154 m

the honeybucket man's shoulder is 0.154 m from the center of the pole ( forward ).

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same

A two slit pattern is viewed on a screen 1.00m from the slits if the two third-order minima are 22.0 cm apart what is the width
Bingel [31]

Answer:

4.4 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the screen from the slit, D = 1 m

Distance between two third order interference minimas, x = 22 cm

Let's say, minima occurs at:

x_n = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \frac{wL}{d}

We have:

2x_2 = 2(2 + \frac{1}{2}) * \frac{w*22}{d}

Calculating further for the width of the central bright fringe, we have:

\frac{w}{d} = \frac{22}{5}

= 4.4 cm

Note: w in representswavelength

Two balls are rolling using the same force. Which law explains why the bowling ball will roll a shorter distance than a soccer b
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

newton's 2nd  law

Explanation:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe
KIM [24]

Answer:

- the expected value is 8

- the standard deviation is 2.8284

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,

∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)

so

the mean is;

λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month

E[N(t)] = λt

E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)

E[N(t)] = 8

Therefore, the expected value is 8

For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,

Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = 8

so the standard deviation will be;

σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )

σ[N(24)] = √(8 )

σ[N(24)] = 2.8284

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284
