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

An electric current of 0.25 A passes through a circuit that has a resistance of
Katen [24]

Answer:

The voltage is V = 37.5 [V]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [Volt]

I = current = 0.25[amp]

R = resistance = 150 [ohm]

V = 0.25*150 = 37.5 [V]

A squirrel drops an acorn onto the head of an unsuspecting dog. The acorn falls 4.0\,\text m4.0m4, point, 0, start text, m, end
kirill [66]

Answer:

0.903 seconds

Explanation:

To find how many seconds the acorn fall, we can use the formula for distance travelled with constant acceleration:

D = Vo*t + a*t^2/2,

where D is the distance travelled, Vo is the inicial speed, t is the time and a is the acceleration.

In our problem:

Vo = 0,

a = g = 9.81 m/s2,

D = 4 meters.

So, we can solve the equation to find the time:

4 = 0*t +9.81*t^2/2

4.905*t^2 = 4

t^2 = 4/4.905 = 0.8155

t =   0.903 seconds

An object falls from rest on a high tower and takes 5.0 s to hit the ground. Calculate the object's position from the top of the
Lena [83]

Answer:

After 1 sec = 4.9 m

After 2 sec = 19.6 m

After 3 sec = 44.1 m

After 4 sec =  78.4 m

After 5 sec = 122.5 m

Explanation:

After 1 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=1 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(1) + (1/2)(9.8)(1²) = 4.9m

After 2 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=2 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(2) + (1/2)(9.8)(2²) = 19.6m

After 3 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=3 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(3) + (1/2)(9.8)(3²) = 44.1m

After 4 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=4 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(4) + (1/2)(9.8)(4²) = 78.4m

After 5 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=5 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(5) + (1/2)(9.8)(5²) = 122.5m
