A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.

A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame so that the door can close on its own after being opened. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 5.2 Nm. What is the least force that you need to apply to the door to hold it open (in Newtons)?

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

w = 1.976 rpm

Explanation:

For simulate the gravity we will use the centripetal aceleration a_c, so:

a_c = w^2r

where w is the angular aceleration and r the radius.

We know by the question that:

r = 60.5m

a_c = 2.6m/s2

So, Replacing the data, and solving for w, we get:

2.6m/s = w^2(60.5m)

W = 0.207 rad/s

Finally we change the angular velocity from rad/s to rpm as:

W = 0.207 rad/s = 0.207*60/(2\pi)= 1.976 rpm

What mean by expansion effect of heat<br>​
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

-Cambio de temperatura

Al calentar un cuerpo la temperatura aumenta

Es el efecto más inmediato del calor, el aumento de la temperatura. Al calentar un cuerpo, es habitual, aunque no siempre, que el cuerpo aumente de temperatura. El aumento dependerá de la cantidad de calor que se suministra, del tipo de sustancia y de su cantidad.

-Dilatación

Cuando un objeto se calienta, su volumen aumenta. Este fenómeno se llama dilatación térmica. Por el contrario, cuando un objeto se enfría, su volumen disminuye, debido a la contracción térmica.

Cuando se calienta un cuerpo, además de cambiar de estado o variar su temperatura, también cambia su tamaño, se dilata.

Por ejemplo, los puentes no se construyen de una única pieza, sino que suelen presentar uno o varios cortes longitudinales, las llamadas juntas de dilatación. Si no existieran esas juntas, los cambios de longitud del puente entre el invierno y el verano o entre el día y la noche acabarían por romperlo.

La dilatación de un cuerpo dependerá del aumento de temperatura que experimente, de su tamaño y de la sustancia de que esté hecho. Cuanto más aumente la temperatura más aumentará su tamaño, lo mismo que cuanto mayor sea, mayor se hará.

Todos los cuerpos, ya sean sólidos, líquidos o gaseosos, varían su tamaño cuando intercambian calor con otro cuerpo.

-Cambios de estado:

Si una sustancia modifica el estado de sólido, líquido o gaseoso, se produce un cambio de estado. Un cambio de estado es una modificación en la forma en que se disponen las partículas que constituyen una sustancia.

El estado en que se encuentre un cuerpo depende de la presión a la que está sometido y de su temperatura. Para cambiar su estado se debe modificar alguna de estas variables, o ambas. Al elevar la temperatura de una sustancia sólida, aumenta la agitación de sus partículas.

Compare and contrast electric conductors and electric insulators. Give an example of each.
ludmilkaskok [199]
An example of conductors of heat would be iron pans. a example of electric insulators would be copper, gold and silver. to contrast conductors and insulators, insulators let electricity pass through them while conductors restricts electricity. both conductors and insulators can work with lithium and sodium.
