Why does a Tumbling Kelly toy return to its original position? (The oval shape is made out of plastic and lead at the bottom).

Physics

bazaltina [42]3 years ago

The toy has a state of stable equilibrium, in which the weighted lead has a tendency to stay at the bottom and overcome the moments that are produced in the upper parts. In other words, the oval structure allows the toy to oscillate and ensure that the weighted region is at the bottom, in its most stable position.

A 7.5 cm object is 14 cm from a concave lens, which has a focal length of –7 cm. Its image is 5 cm in front of the lens. What is
Rama09 [41]
Given conditions:
height of object = 7.5cmdistance of object from mirror  = 14 cmfocus length = -7 cmimage distance =  ?
Using mirror formula: 
1/(focus length) = 1/(object distance) + 1/(image distance)
or, -1/7 = 1/14 + 1/(image distance)
or, image distance = -4.66cm (the image formed is a virtual image)


Also, magnification of image is:
image height /height of object = - image distance /object distance
or, image height = - image distance / object distance * height of object
or, image height = -(-4.66) / 14 * 7.5 = 2.49 = 3(nearest whole number)

Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force F pull = 3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor syste
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

m1=914.9kg

m2=604.9kg

m3=864.75kg

Explanation

I think we are suppose to find the mass of the crate.

The effective force that moves the body in positive x direction is 3615N

ΣFx = Σma

Then Fx=3615N

Then the masses be m1, m2 and m3

Then,

ΣF = Σ(ma)

3615=(m1+m2+m3)a

Given that a=1.516

The masses are

m1+m2+m3=, 2384.56. Equation 1

Between mass 1 and mass 2 is, F12=1387.

The effective force that pull mass 1 is 1387.

F12=m1 ×a

Therefore,

m1=F12/a

m1=1387/1.516

m1=914.9kg.

The effective force that pulls crate 1 and crate 2 is F23

F23=(m1+m2)a

Therefore

2304=(m1+m2)a

Therefore, since a=1.516

m1+m2=2304/1.516

m1+m2=1519.8kg

Since m1=914.9kg

So, m2=1519.8-m1

m2=1519.8-914.9

m2=604.9kg

Also from equation 1

m1+m2+m3=2384.56

Since m1=914.9kg and m2=604.9kg

Then, m3=2384.56-604.9-914.9

m3=864.75kg

The wavelength of 10^15-Hz light is:
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

D.300nm

Explanation:

Wavelength = Speed of light / Frequency of light.....

where the speed of light is...(3 × 10^8)

Wavelength = (3 × 10^8)/(1 × 10^15)

Wavelength = 3 × 10^-7

;Wavelength = 300 × 10^-9

Hence its....300 nm
