A 1.8-m uniform rod is being used to balance two buckets of paint. One pucket is full, but the other is mostly empty, and has on

Answer: 0.36 m

Explanation:

By definition, the x coordinate of the center of mass of the system obeys the following equation:

Xm = (m1x1 + m2x2 + …….+ mnxn) / m1+m2 +……+ mn

Neglecting the mass of the rod, and choosing our origin to be coincident with the location of the full bucket, we can write the following expression for the X coordinate of the center of mass (Assuming that both masses are aligned over the x-axis, so y-coordinates are zero):

Xm = 0.25 mb . 1.8 m / (1+0.25) mb

Simplifying mb, we get:

Xm= 0.36 m (to the right of the full bucket).

Imagine that you have a 6.50 l gas tank and a 4.50 l gas tank. you need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylen
Margarita [4]
V₁(O2) = 6.50<span>  L                
</span>p₁(O2) = 155 atm          
V₂(acetylene) = <span>4.50 L                   
</span>p₂(acetylene) =?                             

According to Boyle–Mariotte law (At constant temperature and unchanged amount of gas, the product of pressure and volume is constant) we can compare two gases that have ideal behavior and the law can be usefully expressed as:

V₁/p₁ = V₂/p₂

6.5/155 = 4.5/p₂

0.042 x p₂ = 4.5

p₂ = 107.3 atm

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually ____________then stop.
Blizzard [7]

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually distribute heat uniformly throughout the fluid.  When all of the fluid is at the same temperature, convection currents will stop.

A car starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 m/s/s for a time of 5.0 s. What is the final velocity of the car?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s/5.0sec

5.0sec×4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s×5.0m/s/5.0m/s

20m/s=v
