On a playground, there is a merry‑go‑round. In order to get it moving, Bonnie applies a force of 31 N31 N . The merry‑go‑round m

easures 8.5 m8.5 m from the axis of rotation to the edge where Bonnie applies her force. Assuming she applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation, what is the magnitude of the torque ????τ Bonnie imparts to the merry‑go‑round?

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Applied force = 31 N

Distance from the axis = 8.5 m

She applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation

So, The angle is 90°

We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=Fd\sin\theta

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

\tau=31\times8.5\sin90

\tau= 263.5\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

Arrange the phases of the Moon in order of increasing rising time, from the phase with the earliest rising time at 12:00 a.m. to
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Lets assume the Sun rise time to be 06:00 AM. The rise time of different phases of Moon will be as follows:

12:00 AM : Waning Half

01:00 AM - 05:00 AM : Waning Crescent

06:00 AM : New Moon

07:00 AM - 11:00 AM : Waxing Crescent

12:00 PM :  Waxing Half

01:00 PM - 06:00 PM : Waxing Gibbous

06:00 PM : Full Moon

07:00 PM - 09:00 PM : Waning Gibbous

Explanation:

The Moon is the only celestial object which shows visible changes in its shape and rise and set time over a very short period of time i.e. just one day. One can observe it by observing the Moon daily. One will notice the change easily. This happens because of the geometry of the Sun, Earth and Moon. The Moon doesn't have its own light and shines because of the light of Sun.

At any given time half of the Moon would be illuminated by the Sun but how much of this illuminated portion is facing the Earth decides the phase of the Moon visible from the Earth. Due to this the Moon shows us various phases namely: New, Waxing Crescent, Waxing Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Waning Half, Waning Crescent.

Also, the Moon revolves around the Earth completing the orbit in 29.5 Days. Everyday the Moon will change its position in the orbit. Due to this the rising time of Moon shifts by approximately 52 minutes daily. So, the New Moon rises with the Sun and Full Moon rises just after the sunset.

Lets assume the Sun rise time to be 06:00 AM. The rise time of different phases of Moon will be as follows:

12:00 AM : Waning Half

01:00 AM - 05:00 AM : Waning Crescent

06:00 AM : New Moon

07:00 AM - 11:00 AM : Waxing Crescent

12:00 PM :  Waxing Half

01:00 PM - 06:00 PM : Waxing Gibbous

06:00 PM : Full Moon

07:00 PM - 09:00 PM : Waning Gibbous

Two college teams, A and B, are playing a game of tug of war. Team A applies a force of 103 newtons, but the rope does not move
Kipish [7]
Given that the rope is not moving (acceleration is zero), by the second Law of Newton (F=m*a), the net force acting on the rope is zero.

Then, the force applied by the team B equals the force applied by the tema A: 103 N.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

bounce up and down

Explanation:

Buoys are used for two main reasons, one is to let the people on land know of a big incoming wave, while the second reason is to generate electricity. When a big wave is approaching the buoy starts to bounce up and down with the strength of the smalled previous waves and then bounce very strongly up as the bigger wave passes by. This movement is combined with pistons within the buoy in order to conduct electricity.
