Megan tries to open a door, but she is unable to push at a right angle to the door. So, she pushes the door at an angle of 55º f

rom the perpendicular. How much harder would she have to push to open the door just as fast as if she were to push it at 90º

Let say torque required to open the door when force is applied at 90 degree is given by T

\tau = \vec r \times \vec F

\tau = rFsin\theta

\tau = rFsin90 = rF

now if she is not able to apply force perpendicular but she can apply some harder force to open the door at 55 degree from perpendicular

now we can say

\tau = rF'sin\theta

\tau = rF' sin(90 - 55)

now we know that it requires same torque in order to open the door

so we will use the equation

rF = rF'sin35

F' = \frac{F}{sin35} = 1.74 F

so it requires 1.74 times more force in this case

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pressure that causes the Hg column to rise 1 millimeter is called a torr. The term 1 mmHg used can replaced by the torr.

1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi.

A.

120 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

120 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 120

= 2.32 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

120 mmHg = 120 * 133.322

= 15998.4 Pa

B.

80 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

80 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 80

= 1.55 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

80 mmHg = 80 * 133.322

= 10665.6 Pa

A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 3.02 m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.74 m/s. Their 65.1-kg owner has the
REY [17]

Answer:

Angle with the +x axis is θ = 79.599degree

Then the velocity of owner = 1.235m/s

Explanation:

Given that the mass of dog is m1 =26.2 kg

velocity of dog is u1 = 3.02 m/s (north)

mass of cat is m2 = 5.3 kg

velocity is u2 = 2.74 m/s (east )

Mass of owner is M = 65.1 kg

Consider the east direction along +x axis andnorth along +y

momentum of dog is Py = m1 x u1

= 79.124 kg.m/s (j)

momentum of cat is Px = m2 x u2

= 14.522 kg.m/s (i)

Then the net magnitude of momentum is P = (Px2 + Py2)1/2

= 80.445

Angle with the +x axis is θ =tan-1(Py / Px ) = 79.599 degree

Then the velocity of owner is v = P / M = 1.235 m/s

What direction does current flow from a battery in a series circuit?
telo118 [61]
What's now called "Conventional current" is thought of as the flow of positive charge, from the battery's positive terminal to its negative one.

But it turns out that positive charges don't flow. The physical flow of charge is the flow of electrons. They come out of the battery's negative terminal, and carry negative charge around the circuit to the battery's positive one.

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the workdone by Ryan?​
Xelga [282]
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the work done by Ryan?

<h2><u>Answer:</u><u>-</u></h2>

<h3>Given,</h3>

=> Force applied by Ryan = 10N

=> Distance covered by the book after applying force = 30 cm

<h3>And,</h3>

30 cm = 0.3 m (distance)

<h3>So,</h3>

=> Work done = Force × Distance

=> 10 × 0.3

=> 3 Joules

\small \boxed{work \: done \:  by \: Ryan \:  = 3 \: Joules}
