Answer:

Part 1)

\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m

Part 2)

\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m

Part 3)

\tau_3 = 1.4 N m

Part 4)

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

Explanation:

As we know that the block A is placed at distance

d = 50 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of A is given as

\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m

the block B is placed at distance

d = 30 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of B is given as

\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m

Now torque due to weight of the scale is given as

\tau_3 = 7(0.20)

\tau_3 = 1.4 N m

now torque on left side of scale is given as

\tau_{left} = \tau_1 + \tau_3

\tau_{left} = 2.5 + 1.4 = 3.9 N m

Torque on right Side is given as

\tau_{right} = \tau_2 = 4.2 Nm

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

The graph below is called a heating curve. It shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature a
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of(16.6 {\rm m/s} ){\hat x}. Ignoring air resistance, the average acc
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j B) 23.9 m/s  c) 46º below horizontal.

Explanation:

A) Once released, the football is not under the influence of any external force in the horizontal direction, so it  continues moving at a constant speed equal to the initial velocity, i.e., 16.6 m/s.

If we choose the horizontal direction to be coincident with the x-axis, and make positive the direction towards the right (assuming that  this was the direction along which the football was thrown), we can write the horizontal component of the veelocity vector, as follows:

vₓ = 16.6 m/s i

In the vertical direction, the football, once released, is in free fall, starting from rest.

So, we can find the vertical component of the velocity vector, at a given point in time, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vy = a*t = -g*t = -9.81 m/s²*1.75 s = -17.2 m/s

Assuming that the upward direction is the positive  for the y-axis (perpendicular to the chosen  x-axis), we can write the vertical component of  the velocity vector, at t=1.75 s, as follows:

vy = -17.2 m/s j

So, the velocity vector, in terms of the unit vectors i and j, can be written in this way:

v = 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j

b) The magnitude of this vector can be found applying trigonometry, as the magnitude is the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides equal to vx and vy, as follows:

v =\sqrt{(16.6m/s)^{2}+ (-17.2m/s)^{2}} = 23.9 m/s

v = 23.9 m/s

c) The direction of the vector (below the horizontal) can be found as the angle which tangent is given by the quotient between vy and vx, as follows:

tg θ =\frac{-17.2}{16.6} =-1.036

⇒ θ = tg⁻¹ (-1.036) = 46º below horizontal.
