Answer:

T=4.24 N.m

Explanation:

Torque is equal to force for distance for sinus of the angle between the direction of the force and the distance, the distance between the mass and the pivot is 1 m, and to obtain the force that is the mass for the gravity in this case, we need to know the component that produces a torque in the pivot

F=0.5 kg* 9.8 m/s^{2}= 4.9 N

and we decompose the force in parallel direction to the rod and perpendicular direction to the rod, the magnitude that produces torque is the perpendicular component, because the torque is in function of the sinus

so, we obtain -> Fy= 4.9 N*sin(60)= 4.24 N

and, T= (4.24 N)*(1 m)*(Sin(90))= 4.24 N.m

anothe way to do it is,

T= (4.9 N)*(1 m)*(Sin(60))= 4.24 N.m, and we obtain the same result

When an unbalanced force acts on an object,
Gwar [14]
When balanced forces follow up on an object, the object won't move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

On a popular amusement park ride, the riders stand along the inside wall of a large cylinder with a diameter of 8.27 m. The cyli
____ [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 8.27 m   ⇒  R = D / 2 = 8.27 m / 2 = 4.135 m

ω = 0.66 rev/sec = (0.66 rev/sec)*(2π rad/1 rev) = 4.1469 rad/s

We can apply the equation

Ff = W  ⇒  μ*N = m*g   <em>(I)</em>

then we have

N = Fc = m*ac = m*(ω²*R)

Returning to the equation <em>I</em>

<em />

μ*N = m*g    ⇒    μ*m*ω²*R = m*g   ⇒ μ = g / (ω²*R)

Finally

μ = (9.81 m/s²) / ((4.1469 rad/s)²*4.135 m) = 0.1379

A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 120 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths,
Zina [86]

1) The equivalent resistance is 2.73\Omega

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

1)

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

where R_1, R_2, R_3 are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

R_1 = 5.0 \Omega

R_2 = 10.0 \Omega

R_3 = 15.0 \Omega

Substituting,

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}

So the equivalent resistance is

R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega

2)

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

V=120 V

So, the voltage in the circuit is 120 V.

3)

The total current in the circuit can be found by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

I is the current

In this circuit, we have:

V = 120 V

R=2.73\Omega

Re-arranging the equation for I, we find the current:

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{2.73}=44.0 A

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates
saul85 [17]
First, create an illustration of the motion of the two cars as shown in the attached picture. The essential equations used is

For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t

The solutions is as follows:

 a = v,final - v,initial /t
 3.8 = (v - 0)/2.8 s
 v = 10.64 m/s
 After 2.8 seconds, the speed of the blue car is 10.64 m/s.
