A uniform brick of length 21 m is placed over

Physics
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

15.75 m

Explanation:

First, let's look at the top brick by itself.  In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick.  So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.

Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass.  We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m.  And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge.  So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at
inn [45]

Answer:

a)v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

b)H=8.9605\,m

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg

compression of the spring, \Delta x=0.0476\,m

force required for the given compression, F=9.12 \,N

(a)

We know

F=m.a

where:

a= acceleration

9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a

a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\

we have:

initial velocity,u=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the eq. of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476

v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

v=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2-2g.h

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h

h=8.9129\,m

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

H=h+\Delta x

H=8.9129+0.0476

H=8.9605\,m

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
Firlakuza [10]
The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. 

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>

A bag of sugar weighs 5.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixt
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Earth: 22.246 N

Moon: 3.71 N

Jupiter: 58.72 N

Explanation:

The mass of an object will remain constant in any location, its weight however, can fluctuate depending on its location. For example, a golf ball will weigh less on the moon, but its mass will not be different if it was on earth.

To calculate anything, we need to convert to standard measurements.

5.00 lbs = 2.27 kg

On earth, gravity is measured to be 9.8 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on Earth would be: (2.27 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 22.246 N

Repeated on the moon where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (1/6) = 1.633 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on the moon would be: (2.27 kg) x (1.633 m/s²) = 3.71 N

Repeated on Jupiter where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (2.64) = 25.87 m/s², so the wight in Newtons on Jupiter would be: (2.27 kg) x (25.87 m/s²) = 58.72 N

What is the area called where the particles are spread apart?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: Because of the longitudinal motion of the air particles, there are regions in the air where the air particles are compressed together and other regions where the air particles are spread apart. These regions are known as compressions and rarefactions respectively
