You have 9 stones that are identical in appearance. One of these stones weighs just a bit more than the other 8. These other 8 s

tones are exactly the same in weight. Using a balance scale only TWICE, how can you determine exactly which stone is the heavier?

I think you can weigh it 3 and 3.
If they balance, choose set not used.

If not balanced, take the heavier side

then weigh 1 and 1
if balanced, stone not used, if not balanced, take the heavier side

hope this helps

A body weighing 50 N is placed on a wooden table. How much force is required to set it into motion? Coefficient of friction betw
tigry1 [53]

If the coefficient of static friction is 0.3, then the minimum force required to get it moving is equal in magnitude to the maximum static friction that can hold the body in place.

By Newton's second law,

• the net vertical force is 0, since the body doesn't move up or down, and in particular

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = <em>n</em> - 50 N = 0   ==>   <em>n</em> = 50 N

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force; and

• the net horizontal force is also 0, since static friction keeps the body from moving, with

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>F'</em> - <em>f</em> = <em>F'</em> - <em>µn</em> = <em>F'</em> - 0.3 (50 N) = 0   ==>   <em>F'</em> = 15 N

where <em>F'</em> is the magnitude of the applied force, <em>f</em> is the magnitude of static friction, and <em>µ</em> is the friction coefficient.

A web page designer creates an animation in which a dot on a computer screen has a position of r⃗ =[ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 )t2]i
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

V = (5.8cm/s)i, (4.7cm/s)j

Explanation:

Given :

r⃗ =[ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 )t2]i^+( 4.70 cm/s )tj^

To obtain the average velocity (V)

V = (r2 - r1) / (t2 - t1)

To obtain r1 and r2, substitute t1 = 0 and t2 = 2 respectively in the equation above

r1 = [ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 ) 0]i^+( 4.70 cm/s )0 j

r1 = 4.50 cm + 0 + 0 = (4.50cm)i + 0j

r2 = [ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 )2²]i^+( 4.70 cm/s )2 j

r2 = 4.50cm + (2.90 × 4)i + (4.70 × 2)j

r2 = (16.1cm)i + (9.4cm)j

V = [(16.1 - 4.50)i - (9.4 - 0)j] / 2 - 0

V = 11.6i / 2 ; 9.4j / 2

V = (5.8cm/s)i, (4.7cm/s)j

Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 3.3 m long, its mass is 0.5
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The linear mass density of rope is 0.16 kg/m.

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.52 kg

force, F = 47 N

length, L = 3.3 m

(a) The linear mass density of the rope is defined as the mass of the rope per unit length.

Linear mass density = m/L = 0.52/3.3 = 0.16 kg/m
