A uniform meter stick of mass $M$ has a half-filled can of fruit juice of mass $m$ attached to one end. The meter stick and the

can balance at a point 21.2 cm from the end of the stick where the can is attached. When the balanced stick-can system is suspended from a scale, the reading on the scale is 2.58 N. Calculate the mass of the meter stick.

Answer:

111.6 g

Explanation:

Given

m + M = 2.58 / 9.8

= 0.2632 kg

When the can of fruit juice is balance from scale , we get following relation

M x ( 50 - 21.2 ) = m x 21.2 ( balancing the torque due to weight of scale and can about the balancing point )

M x 28.8 = 21.2 m

= 21.2 ( 0.2632 - M )

= 5.58 - 21.2 M

M ( 28.8 + 21.2 ) = 5.58

M = .1116 kg

= 111.6 g

What was David Berkowitz best known for? How did arson play a role in his past?
tankabanditka [31]
David Berkowitz, who became known as Son of Sam, went on a murderous rampage in New York City during the 1970s, taunting and insulting police, until they captured him. On August 10, 1977, 11 days after his last murder, David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, was arrested and later sentenced to six consecutive 25-years-to-life terms. Arson has evolved, since the 18th century, from a wrongful individual act into an effective means of collective violence, too. From 1750, the privatisation of common land in England limited peasants' access to resources such as firewood and game. Hope this helped!

What effect does the vertical acceleration have on the horizontal velocity of the projectile?
KengaRu [80]
Answer:
None, if air resistance is ignored.

Explanation:
At any instant, the projectile has vertical and horizontal components of velocity.
Vertical acceleration due to gravity affects the vertical velocity by accelerating the object toward the center of the earth, and by decreasing the upward vertical velocity.. 
The horizontal component of velocity makes the object travel horizontally as long as the projectile is airborne.
Thsi discussion assumes that air resistance is ignored.

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg
