7) T F If two forces of equal magnitude act on an object that is hinged at a pivot, the force acting farther from the pivot must

produce the greater torque about the pivot.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau=Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot

\theta is the angle between the directions of F and d

We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have

d_1 > d_2

However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have

\theta_1 =0\\sin \theta=0

and the torque produced by this force would be zero.

So, the statement is false.

________ capture solar energy and use photosynthesis to produce sugars.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The green plants are capable of synthesizing their own food, in the presence of sunlight, CO₂ and water, and in return, liberates food and oxygen (O₂). This process is known as photosynthesis. This process is possible due to the presence of chlorophyll pigments on the plant leaves.

These green plants are also known as producers, because they are able to generate food for the consumers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

What is the difference between scientific law and scientific theory
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory.
