Two kids create a makeshift seesaw by setting a 4-m long uniform plank on a saw horse. The saw horse is 0.5 m to the left of the

center of mass of the plank. The child of mass m1 = 42 kg sits at the left end of the plank. The child of mass m2 = 31 kg sits 1 m to the right of the center of mass of the plank. What is the mass of the plank?

Answer:

The mass of the plank is 33 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of plank = 4 m

Distance in left from the center= 0.5 m

Mass of child = 42 kg

Mass of other child = 31 kg

Distance in right from the center= 1 m

We can sum torques around the saw horse; each force generates a torque equal to force x distance from saw horse

We need to calculate the torque for first child

Using formula of torque

\tau =mg\times d

Put the value into the formula

\tau=42\times9.8\times1.5

\tau=617.4\ N-m

We need to calculate the torque for second child

The child is 1.5 m from the saw horse

Using formula of torque

\tau' =mg\times d

Put the value into the formula

\tau'=31\times9.8\times1.5

\tau'=455.7\ N-m

The weight of the plank produces a clockwise torque

\tau''=mg\times d

\tau''=mg\times 0.5

We need to calculate the mass of the plank

Using balance equation of torque

\tau=\tau''+\tau'

Put the value into the formula

617.4=mg\times0.5+455.7

m=\dfrac{617.4-455.7}{0.5\times9.8}

m=33\ kg

Hence, The mass of the plank is 33 kg.

Which statement best explains why sound waves cannot travel through space
Naddika [18.5K]
The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound there.

A small current element carrying a current of I = 1.00 A is placed at the origin given by d → l = 4.00 m m ^ j Find the magnetic
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

the magnitude and direction of d → B on the x ‑axis at x = 2.50 m is -6.4 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along z direction)

the magnitude and direction of d → B on the z ‑axis at z = 5.00 m is 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along x direction)

Explanation:

Use Biot, Savart, the magnetic field

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

Given that,

i = 1.00A

d → l = 4.00 m m ^ j

r = 2.5m

Displacement vector is

\bar{r}=x\hat i+y\hat j+z \hat k\\

\bar{r}= (2.5m) \hat i +(0m)^2 + (0m)^2

 =2.5m

on the axis of x at x = 2.5

r = \sqrt{(2.5)^2 + (0)^2 + (0)^2}

r = 2.5m

And unit vector

\hat r =\frac{\bar{r}}{r}

= \frac{2.5 \hat i}{2.5}\\\\= 1\hat i

Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

d\bar{B} = \frac{(10^-^7)(1)(4\times10^-^3j\times i}{(2.50)^2} \\\\d\bar{B} = -6.4\times10^{-11} T

(Along z direction)

B)r = 5.00m

Displacement vector is

\bar{r}=x\hat i+y\hat j+z \hat k\\

\bar{r}= (5.00m) \hat i +(0m)^2 + (0m)^2

 =5.00m

on the axis of x at x = 5.0

r = \sqrt{(5.00)^2 + (0)^2 + (0)^2}

r = 5.00m

And unit vector

\hat r =\frac{\bar{r}}{r}

= \frac{5.00 \hat i}{5.00}\\\\= 1\hat i\\

Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

d\bar{B} = \frac{(10^-^7)(1)(4\times10^-^3j\times i}{(5.00)^2} \\\\d\bar{B} = 1.6\times10^{-11} T

(Along x direction)

Consult Multiple-Concept Example 5 to review the concepts on which this problem depends. A light bulb emits light uniformly in a
den301095 [7]

Answer:

a. 0.332 W/m² b. 11.2 V/m c. 15.8 V/m

Explanation:

(a) the average intensity of the light,

Intensity, I = P/A where P = average power = 150.0 W and A = area through which the power emits = 4πr² where r = distance from bulb = 6 m.

So, I = P/A = P/4πr²

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

I =  P/4πr²

I =  150.0 W/4π(6 m)²

I =  150.0 W/4π(36 m²)

I =  150.0 W/452.39 m²

I =  0.332 W/m²

(b) the rms value of the electric field,

Since Intensity, I = E²/cμ₀ where E = rms value of electric field, c = speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m.

Making E subject of the formula, we have

E² = Icμ₀

E = √(Icμ₀)

Since I = 0.332 W/m², substituting the other terms into the equation, we have

E = √(0.332 W/m² × 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m.)

E = √(0.332 W/m² × 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m.)

E = √(12.5 × 10)

E = √125 V/m

E = 11.18 V/m

E ≅ 11.2 V/m

(c) the peak value of the electric field.

The peak value of electric field, E' is gotten from E = E'/√2 where E = rms value of electric field.

So, E' = √2E

= √2 × 11.2 V/m

= 15.81 V/m

≅ 15.8 V/m
