Alice is going on a picnic and is aware that it will be easier to carry the picnic basket if it balances at the center where the

handle is attached. She has placed a 1.65-kg container of potato salad at one end and a 0.675-kg package of hot dogs at the other end of a 52.0-cm long basket. Determine where she should place a 1.85-kg container of lemonade so that the basket balances at its center.

Answer: 13.703cm from the center of the basket on the end holding the 0.675kg package of hot dog.

Explanation:

The center of the basket is at point 26 cm from each end of the basket.

This is gotten from the evaluation;

52cm/2.

The principle of moments is very important in solving this problem,

"The algebraic sum of all clockwise moments must be equal to he algebraic sum of all anticlockwise moments"

The statement above is the principle of moments.

Now to the question,

Since the acceleration due to gravity is assumed to be equal for all of the masses,

By intuition, the basket would tilt downwards on the end which holds the 1.65kg container of potato salad.

Consequently, to balance the basket 1.85kg container of lemonade must be placed at a distance, x from the center of the basket along the length of the basket (on the end holding the 0.675 package of hot dog).

Therefore, Taking moments about the center of the basket,

(1.65kg×26cm)=(0.675kg×26cm)+(1.85cm×xcm)

Therefore from the expression above, x = 13.703cm from the center on the basket on the side which holds the 0.675kg package of hot dog.

PS: The knowledge of moments of forces is very important in understanding machines especially those which are used for measuring weights relative to other weights.

Answer:

= 13.7m

Explanation:

Balancing moment about mid point

the equation will be

m_1x_1+m_2x_2+m_3x_3 = 0

Given that

m₁ = 1.65kg

m₂ = 0.675kg

distance x = 52cm

(1.65)(\frac{-0.52}{2} )+(0.675)(\frac{0.52}{2} )+(1.85)x_3\\\\(1.85)x_3= (1.65)(\frac{0.52}{2} )+(0.675)(\frac{-0.52}{2} )

x_3 = \frac{(1.65)(\frac{-0.52}{2} )+(o.675)(\frac{0.52}{2} )}{1.85} \\\\= 0.137cm

x = 13.7m

13.7m from the mid point towards 1.85kg mass so that basket balance at its center.

Light is shone on a diffraction grating
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

    λ = 482.05 nm

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon and the diffraction grating is described by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between two consecutive slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer representing the order of diffraction

in this case they indicate the distance between slits, the angle and the order of diffraction

         λ = \frac{d sin \theta }{m}d sin θ / m

let's calculate

         λ = 1.00 10⁻⁶ sin 74.6 / 2

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m

Let's reduce to nm

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1 m)

         λ = 482.05 nm

An astronaut is walking in space. Which of these would have the greatest speed as observed by the astronaut?
Aleks04 [339]
The answer is C) an electromagnetic wave

An electromagnetic wave, which includes electromagnetic radiation such as visible light, moves the fastest of all of the options listed by a significant margin, especially through space. In fact, light travelling through space is technically the theoretical limit of how fast something can travel.
