Answer:
Bottle opener works on a fulcrum.
Explanation:
A bottle opener is a second-class lever because the pivot point is at one end of the opener and the load is in the middle.
Answer:
The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m
Explanation:
The nearest distance is:
(eq. 1)
Where
z = atomic number of gold = 79
e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C
k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²
energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J
At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:
Where
m = 4 mp = mass of proton
Replacing in equation 1
Answer:
(A) a heuristic
Explanation:
A heuristic:It is a reasoning strategy to find answers, make judgement about any something."
It is possible to choose between the options given, we have the following interpretation as; Interpretation: "A heuristic: finding answers is a thinking technique, evaluating something." Mechanism: In the heuristic approach the method is to find solutions or answers to a question by choosing the right and optimal compositions.
Question:
What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?
A) the electromagnetic force and gravity
B) outward pressure and the strong force
C) outward pressure and inward gravity
D) the strong force and gravity
E) the strong force and kinetic energy
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity
Explanation:
Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.
As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.
Why is gravitational equilibrium important?
The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Answer:
a) x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)
b) x = 8.45 cm
Explanation:
This is a Simple Harmonic Motion, and most Simple Harmonic Motion equations start from the equilibrium point. In this question however, we are starting from the max displacement the equations, and thus, it ought to be different.
From the question, we are given that
A = 8.8 cm = 0.088 m
t = 0.66 s
Now, we need to find the angular speed w, such that
w = 2π/T
w = (2 * 3.142) / 0.66
w = 6.284 / 0.66
w = 9.52 rad/s
The displacement equation of Simple Harmonic Motion is usually given as
x = A*sin(w*t)
But then, the equation starts from the equilibrium point at 0 sec, i.e x = 0 m
When you have to start from the max displacement, then the equation would be
x = A*cos(w*t).
So when t = 0 the cos(0) = 1, and then x = A which is max displacement.
Thus, the equation is
x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)
At t = 1.7 s,
x = 8.8 cos (9.52 * 1.7)
x = 8.8 cos (16.184)
x = -8.45 cm
