Answer:

force = 6.53×  10^{-7} N

Explanation:

Given data

downward force = 0.60 m

mass m  = 10^{-7} kg

distance h = 0.40 m

to find out

magnitude of the downward force

solution

we know here mg is apply 0.4 m away from support and

so applied force is d =  0.6 m from support

so

by balancing torque we can calculate force

that is

force = mass  × g ×  h / d

put here all these value

force =  mass  × g ×  h / d

force =  ( 10^{-7}  × 9.81 ×  0.4 )  / 0.6

force = 6.53×  10^{-7} N

Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor
Vesnalui [34]

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is  the ball rolls backward.

<h3>What is the first law?</h3>

This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.

In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.

Light travels faster in warmer air. On a sunny day, the sun can heat a road and create a layer of hot air above it. Let's model
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.

n = c / v

If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index

nh < nc

Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:

n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)

sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2

If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then

n1 = nh

n2 = nc

Then:

n1 < n2

So:

n1/n2 < 1

The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.

Can we see a halo around the half moon?​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

No we cannot

Explanation:

But what causes a ring to appear around the moon? This phenomenon is called a "moon halo." According to the National Weather Service, this ring of light, which is actually an optical illusion, forms around the moon when moonlight refracts off ice crystals in cirrus clouds, high up in the Earth's atmosphere.

On a drive from one city to? another, victor averaged 39 mph. if he had been able to average 72 ?mph, he would have reached his
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Let the unknown distance be xmiles
x/39-x/72=11hr
72x-39x/2808=11hr
33x/2808=11
33x= 30888
x=936miles
U can substitue back to check
at speed of 72mph, he would need 936/72=13hrs
at speed of 39mph, he would need 936/39=24hr
the difference is 24-13=11
