our friend is constructing a balancing display for an art project. She has one rock on the left (ms=2.25 kgms=2.25 kg) and three

on the right (total mass mp=10.1 kgmp=10.1 kg). The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is rp=0.360 m.rp=0.360 m. Answer the two questions below, using three significant digits. Part A: What is the value of the torque (????pτp) produced by the pile of rocks? (Enter a positive value.)

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The torque produced by the pile of rocks is \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m  

b

The distance of the single for equilibrium to occur is r_s =1.62 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the left rock is  m_s = 2.25 \ kg

     The mass of the rock on the right m_p = 10.1 kg

    The distance from  fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is  r_p = 0.360 \ m

   

Generally the torque produced by the pile of rock is mathematically represented as

           \tau = m_p * g * r_p

Substituting values

         \tau = 10.1 * 9.8  * 0.360                  

          \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m      

Generally we can mathematically evaluated the distance of the the single rock that would put the system in equilibrium as follows

   The torque due to the single rock is

           \tau = m_s  * g * r_s

At equilibrium the both torque are equal

            35.63 = m_s * r_s * g

Making r_s the subject of the formula

             r_s = \frac{35.63 }{m_s * g}

Substituting values

            r_s = \frac{35.63 }{2.25 * 9.8}

            r_s =1.62 \ m

<span>The correct answer is C:Waves transfer energy, but not matter. A wave does not move matter in the direction of its propagation. It only transfers energy just like the ocean wave traveling many miles away with the water just moving up and down.</span>

A 30 cm scale has one end broken. The mark at the broken end is 2.6 cm. How would you use it to measure the length of your penci
lidiya [134]

Answer:

the mark of the broken end is 2.6 cm so, we use the scale from the next full mark i.e. 3cm

Explanation:

<em>we </em><em>now </em><em>measure</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>length</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>pencil</em><em> </em><em>by </em><em>keeping </em><em>the </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>m</em><em> </em><em>mark </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>scale</em><em> </em><em>at </em><em>it's</em><em> </em><em>left </em><em>end.</em>

<em>The </em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>cm </em><em>value </em><em>is </em><em>then </em><em>subtracted</em><em> </em><em>from </em><em>the </em><em>scale</em><em> </em><em>reading</em><em> </em><em>at </em><em>the </em><em>right</em><em> </em><em>side </em><em>end </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>pencil</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>obtain </em><em>the </em><em>correct</em><em> </em><em>length</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>pencil.</em><em> </em><em>✏️</em>

<em>(</em><em>i </em><em>i </em><em>)</em><em> </em>place the scale in the contact with object along it's length

(2) Your eyes must be exactly in front of the point where the measurements to be taken.

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:  

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.

A 50-kg copper block initially at 140°C is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 90 L of water at 10°C. Determine the fin
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

16.33°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Heat lost by copper = heat gained by water

cm(t₁-t₃) = c'm'(t₃-t₂).............. Equation 1

Where c = specific heat capacity of copper, m = mass of copper, c' = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of copper, t₂ = initial temperature of water, t₃ = final equilibrium temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 50 kg, t₁ = 140°C, m' = 90 L = 90 kg, t₂ = 10°C

Constant: c = 385  J/kg°C, c' = 4200J/kg°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

50(385)(140-t₃) = 90(4200)(t₃-10)

(140-t₃) = 378000(t₃-10)/19250

(140-t₃) = 19.64(t₃-10)

140-t₃ = 19.64t₃-196.6

19.64t₃+t₃ = 196.4+140

20.64t₃ = 336,4

t₃ = 336.4/20.6

t₃ = 16.33°C
