Answer:
Explanation:
This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:
where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.
Filling in:
I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.
and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:
6.45 × 10¹⁶ N
The weight of the meterstick is:
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
from which we find the value of d2:
So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
I believe it is C i am not sure
the earth moves throughout the year such as rotate around the sun, so yes the it does move and it sits roughly at 93.048 million miles away from the sun. I hope this helps you out! :)
From what I can see it's D, I did this by simply examining the other answers and seeing that they are beneficial, so, from that information, this one must not be.
