<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north

<u>Explanation</u>

Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.

Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.

We now add to obtain,

$4+-2+5+-5$

This will simplify to

$=4-2+5-5=2$

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

(a) The stick is supported by a sharp point at the middle. On the left side, a weight of 100 g is suspended at 40 cm from the mi

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

Hello!

remember that the condition for a body to be at rest is that the sum of its moments and its forces be zero,

To solve this problem you must draw the free body diagram of the stick (attached image) and sum up moments at point 0 (where the sharp is located), which results in the following equation

(100g)(40cm)=x(200g)

$X=\frac{(100)(40)}{(200)} =20cm$

Positive ions have blank protons than electrons

grandymaker [24]

Postitive ions have more protons than electrons, because protons are positively charged. Electrons have a negative charge, so if there were less protons than electrons the job would be negative. If there were the same amount of both, then the positive and negative charges balance each other out, making a neutral charge.

mass of iron block given as

$m_1 = 1.90 kg$

density of iron block is

$\rho = 7860 kg/m^3$

now the volume of the iron piece is given as

$V = \frac{m}{\rho}$

$V = \frac{1.90}{7860} = 2.42* 10^{-4} m^3$

Now when this iron block is complete submerged in oil inside the beaker the buoyancy force on the iron block will be given as

$F_b = \rho_L V g$

here we know that

$\rho_L$ = density of liquid = 916 kg/m^3

$F_b = 916* 2.42 * 10^{-4} * 9.8$

$F_b = 2.17 N$

Now for the reading of spring balance we can say the spring force and buoyancy force on the block will counter balance the weight of the block at equilibrium

$F_s + F_b = mg$

$F_s + 2.17 = 1.90* 9.8$

$F_s = 16.45 N$

So reading of spring balance will be 16.45 N

Now for other scale which will read the normal force of the surface we can write that normal force on the container will balance weight of liquid + container and buoyancy force on block

$F_n = F_g + F_b$

$F_n = (1 + 2.50)*9.8 + 2.17$

$F_n = 34.3 + 2.17 = 36.47 N$

So the other scale will read 36.47 N
