A cat walks along a plank with mass M= 7.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of the plank is a di

stance d1= 0.850 m to the left of sawhorse B. When the cat is a distance d2= 1.11 m to the right of sawhorse B, the plank just begins to tip.If the cat has a mass of 3.6 kg, how far to the right of sawhorse B can it walk before the plank begins to tip?

Answer:

Before the plank will tip cat will walk 1.652 m

Explanation:

Mass of the cat along with plank m_1=7kg

Center of mass of the plank d_1=0.850m

Mass of cat m_2=3.6kg

We have to find how far right of sawhorse B.

Plank will tip when weight of the cat about B is greater than the torque by the weight of the plank.

Balancing the the torque

m_1gd_1=m_1gd_2

7\times 9.8\times 0.850=3.6\times 9.8\times d_2

d_2=1.652m

1. Amperes, is the SI unit (also a fundamental unit) responsible for current.

2. I = \frac{q}{t} Δq over Δt technically

Rearrange for Δq

I x Δt = Δq

1.5mA x 5 = Δq

Δq = 0.0075

Divide this by the fundamental charge "e"

Electrons: 0.0075 / 1.60 x 10^-19

Electrons: 4.6875 x 10^16 or 4.7 x 10^16

3.  So we know that the end resistances will be equal so:

ρ = RA/L

ρL = RA

ρL/A = R

Now we can set up two equations one for the resistance of the aluminum bar and one for the copper: Where 1 represents aluminum and 2 represents copper

\frac{p1L1}{A1}  = \frac{p2L2}{A2}\\

We are looking for L2 so we can isolate using algebra to get:

\frac{A2(\frac{P1L1}{A1}) }{P2} = L2

If you fill in those values you get 0.0205

or 2.05 cm

Nuclear Energy
topjm [15]

Answer:

When uranium is mined, it consists of approximately 99.3% uranium-238 (U238), 0.7% uranium-235 (U235), and < 0.01% uranium-234 (U234). These are the different uranium isotopes. Isotopes of uranium contain 92 protons in the atom's center or nucleus. (The number of protons in the nucleus is what makes the atoms "uranium.") The U238 atoms contain 146 neutrons, the U235 atoms contain 143 neutrons, and the U234 atoms contain only 142 neutrons. The total number of protons plus neutrons gives the atomic mass of each isotope — that is 238, 235, or 234, respectively. On an atomic level, the size and weight of these isotopes are slightly different. This implies that with the right equipment and under the right conditions, the isotopes can be separated.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

4. Electrons move from higher energy states to lower energy states.

Explanation:

When electrons fall from a higher (excited) energy state to a lower energy state, it loses/gives out energy.

This energy is given out by the emission of photons (quanta of light) by the electron.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.
