let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)

r - 10 = 0.098

r = 10.098 m

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

B. Attract each other with a force of 10 newtons.

Explanation:

Statement is incorrectly written. <em>The correct form is: A </em>+10\,\mu C<em> charge and a </em>-10\,\mu C<em> at a distance of 0.3 meters. </em>

The two particles have charges opposite to each other, so they attract each other due to electrostatic force, described by Coulomb's Law, whose formula is described below:

F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

F - Electrostatic force, in newtons.

\kappa - Electrostatic constant, in newton-square meters per square coulomb.

|q_{A}|,|q_{B}| - Magnitudes of electric charges, in coulombs.

r - Distance between charges, in meters.

If we know that \kappa  = 8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}, |q_{A}| = |q_{B}| = 10\times 10^{-6}\,C and r = 0.3\,m, then the magnitude of the electrostatic force is:

F = \frac{\kappa \cdot |q_{A}|\cdot |q_{B}|}{r^{2}}

F = 9.987\,N

In consequence, correct answer is B.

Some of the energy the car gained as it was pulled was lost because of heat from friction. The rest of the energy was transforme
Lisa [10]

Answer:

454,320 joules

Explanation:

The work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy: Change in KE = F × d.

Plug the values for F and d into the formula and solve:

Change in KE = 2,524 × 180

= 454,320 joules

The roller coaster gains 454,320 joules of energy from the work done on it by the chain.
