Answer:

Maximum 13 m overhang

Explanation:

Since the brick is uniform. Its mass must be equally distributed along its length. So the center of mass is in geometric center, which is 26 / 2 = 13 m from each end of the brick.

For the brick to not tip over, its center of mass must NOT be overhung over the edge. It stays just on the edge. So the maximum overhang is 13 m.

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying p

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$f_n=3.75N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frictional force $F=0.150N$

Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu=0.04$

Generally the equation for Normal for is mathematically given by

$f_n=\frac{F}{\mu}$

Therefore

$f_n=\frac{0.150}{0.04}$

$f_n=3.75N$

A toy floats in a swimming pool. The buoyant force exerted on the toy depends on the volume ofa. none of these choices.b. all th

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:c

Explanation:

The buoyancy force on toy depends upon the volume of toy under pool water.

According to Archimedes principle buoyant force on a floating body depends upon the weight of displaced liquid by object.

Buoyancy force is given by

$F_b=\rho _f\times V\times g$

where $\rho _f$ =density of fluid

V=volume of object under water

g=acceleration due to gravity

A car has a mass of 1,200 kg. What is its acceleration when the engine exerts a force of 600 N? (Formula: F=ma)

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1200 kg

Force exerted by the engine, F = 600 N

Noe force,F = ma

a is the acceleration of the engine

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{600\ N}{1200\ kg}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².
