The statement that is the most true regarding the states of matter is the first statement.
A. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.
This is correct since most of the matter on Earth exists in those 3 states, meanwhile plasma is not a state that most of matter on earth is found in since it is mostly associated to stars and the external galactic regions.
Therefore, B is incorrect.
C is false, since almost of all of the matter on earth can transform and change through each of the 3 states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.
D is false since most of the matter in universe is actually made out of plasma instead of a liquid. In fact, over 99% of the known universe's matter is said to consist of plasma.
Answer:
W = 0.49 N
τ = 0.4851 Nm
Force
Explanation:
The weight force can be found as:
W = mg
W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
<u>W = 0.49 N</u>
The torque about the pivot can be found as:
τ = W*d
where,
τ = torque
d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m
Therefore,
τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)
<u>τ = 0.4851 Nm</u>
The pivot exerts a <u>FORCE </u>on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
For this kind of problem, forces add. F = F1 + F2
F1 = 6 N
F2 = 10 N
F = 6N + 10N
F = 16N
