Answer:

D) the second at the doorknob

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau = Fdsin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and d

In this problem, we have:

- Two forces of equal magnitude F

- Both forces are perpendicular to the door, so \theta=90^{\circ}, sin \theta=1

- The first force is exerted at the midpoint of the door, while the 2nd force is applied at the doorknob. This means that d is the larger for the 2nd force

--> therefore, the 2nd force exerts a greater torque

A positive charge of 8.0 × 10-4 C is in an electric field that exerts a force of 3.5 × 10-4 N on it. What is the strength of the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

E = 0.437 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q=8\times 10^{-4}\ C

Electric force, F=3.5\times 10^{-4}\ N

Let the strength of the electric field is E. We know that, the electric force is given by :

F = qE

Where

E is the electric field strength

E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.5\times 10^{-4}}{8\times 10^{-4}}\\E=0.437\ N/C

So, the strength of the electric field is equal to 0.437 N/C.

A wheel is rotating freely at angular speed 420 rev/min on a shaft whose rotational inertia is negligible. A second wheel, initi
Mashcka [7]

Answer:60 rev/min

Explanation:

Given

angular speed of first shaft \omega _1=420\ rev/min

Moment of inertia of second shaft is seven times times the rotational speed of the first i.e. If I is the moment  of inertia of first wheel so moment of inertia of second is 7 I

As there is no external torque therefore angular momentum is conserved

L_1=L_2

I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2

I\times (420)=7 I\times (\omega _2)

\omega _2=\frac{420}{7}

\omega _2=60\ rev/min

valina [46]

Answer:

The punnet chart indicate the cross between a black cat and a spotted cat.

Explanation:

As the punnet chart was not given with the question, the question is searched and found online which is as attached herewith.

As seen from the punned table the column head has two capital H which indicate that the cat is a black cat.

White the row heads indicate a Capital and a small h thus this is a spotted cat

Thus the punnet chart indicate the cross between a black cat and a spotted cat.

A 50g ball is falling down. As the ball passes a certain distance its potential energy changes for 2J. Calculate this distance.
Paul [167]

potential energy = mass × gravity × height

so, change in potential energy = mass × gravity × change in height

2 = 50 × 10 × Δh

2 ÷ 500 = Δh

Δh = 0.004 m

This distance does depend on the initial velocity of the ball.
