Answer:

Let the weight of the person be W and be located at a distance 'a' from the left scale as shown in the figure

Since the body is in equilibrium we can use equations of statics to analyse the problem.

Taking Sum of Moments about A we have

316\times 1.71-W\times a=0\\\\

Taking Sum of Moments about B we have

475\times 1.71-W\times (1.71-a)=0\\\\

Solving the above 2 equations for W and 'a' we get

316\times 1.71=W\times a\\\\475\times 1.71-W\times 1.71=-Wa\\\\\therefore W=\frac{316+475}{1}=791N\\\\\therefore a=\frac{316\times 1.71}{791}=0.683m

Pe=___
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

H = start height (v = 0)

h = present height

v = present speed

assuming no friction

total energy = PE + KE

mgH = mgh + .5mv^2

if PE = KE then

mgH = mgh + mgh

h = H/2

potential energy = kinetic energy when object is at half its start height.

A gold wire that is 1.8 mm in diameter and 15 cm long carries a current of 260 mA. How many electrons per second pass a given cr
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

162500000.  

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the wire , d= 1.8 mm

The length of the wire ,L = 15 cm

Current ,I = 260 m A

The charge on the electron ,e= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

We know that Current I is given as

I=\dfrac{q}{t}

I=Current

q=Charge

t=time

q= I t

q= 260 m t

The total number of electron = n

q= n e

n=\dfrac{260\times 10^{-3}\ t}{1.6\times 10^{-9}}

n=162500000 t

\dfrac{n}{t}=16250000

The number of electron passe per second will be 162500000.
