Answer:

The mass of the meter stick is  1.66054054054g

Explanation:

Here since the meter stick is in equilibrium position its net torque and net force should be equal to zero

      Since at the begging the meter stick is balanced at center of the meter stick that means its center of mass should be present at 50.0cm

Now lets consider the later case where stick is balanced by two 5.12 g coins .

Here torque due to two coins = t_{c} = 5.12\times(27.8-24.2)\times2\times9.8

  Torque due to weight of meter stick =  t_{m} =  m\times(50-27.8)\times9.8

  where m = mass of the meter stick

    Here t_{c} = t_{m}.

Upon equating we will be getting mass of the meter stick =1.66054054054g

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, density
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.

Rectangular plate has a voltage of +180V and plate to the first plate) has a 'voltage of -5V. Determie another rectangular plate
3241004551 [841]

For a Rectangular plate has a voltage of +180V and a 'voltage of -5V. , the second plate has the Electric field mathematically given as

E=21.5*10^3v/m

<h3>What is the field strength?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Electric field   is mathematically given as

E=v/d

Where

v={180-(-5)}v

v=185v

Therefore

E=185/8.6*10^{-3}

E=21.5*10^3v/m

In conclusion, Electric field

E=21.5*10^3v/m

Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 200 west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.00 south of west. How far are y
Tpy6a [65]

Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

the compass direction of the resultant displacement is  \theta  =4.7^o south of west

Explanation:

Generally using cosine we can obtain the resultant R as follows

     R^2  =  A^2  + B^2 -2ABcos(70)

=>   R  =  \sqrt{12^2  + 20^2  - 2(12 ) *  (20) cos  70}

=>    R  =  19.48 \  m

We can obtain the direction of the resultant by first  using sine rule to obtain angle C as follows

       \frac{A}{sin  C}  =  \frac{R}{sin70 }

=>    C=  sin ^{-1} [\frac{A *  (sin 70)}{R} ]

=>    C =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{20 *  (sin 70)}{19.48} ]

=>  C =  74.7 ^o

Then the direction is obtained as

       \theta  =  C  -  70

=>    \theta  = 74.7   -  70

=>     \theta  =4.7^o

Hence the compass direction of the resultant displacement is  \theta  =4.7^o south of west

Andrea and Chuck are riding on a merry-go-round. Andrea rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far
marta [7]

a) Their angular speeds are the same

b) Andrea's tangential speed is twice the value of Chuck's tangential speed

Explanation:

a)

The angular speed of Andrea and Chuck is the same.

Let's call \omega the angular speed at which the merry-go-round is rotating. We know that the angular speed is defined as:

\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}

where

2 \pi is the angular displacement covered in one revolution

T is the period of revolution

The merry go round is a rigid body, so all its point cover the same angular displacement in the same time: this means that it doesn't matter where Andrea and Chuck are located along the merry-go-round, their angular speed will still be the same.

b)

For an object in circular motion, the tangential speed is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the distance from the centre of rotation

Here let's call r_c the distance at which Chuck is rotating, so his tangential speed is

v_c = \omega r_c

Now we know that Andrea is rotating twice as far from the centre, so at a distance of

r_a = 2 r_c

So his tangential speed is

v_a = \omega r_a = \omega (2 r_c) = 2(\omega r_c) = 2 v_c

So, Andrea's tangential speed is twice the value of Chuck's tangential speed.

Let k be the spring constant. Then you have
188=k*21.8
k=188/21.8=8.62,
In the second part you use
m g= k x
x=m g/k= 38/8.62=4.4cm

4.4 cm is the answer
