A force 6.3 N is applied at a distance 2.1 m from the point of rotation of a wrench. If the force is applied in a direction para

llel to the position vector, how much torque is exerted by the force

Ganezh [65]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: 0 (zero)

Explanation:

The formula for torque = force × perpendicular distance between force and point of rotation.

Where force = 6.3 N, distance between force and point of rotation = 2.1m

It has been stated from the question that the force is applied in such a way that it is parallel to the position vector.

If we take the magnitude of this position vector, it will give the distance between the force and the point of rotation which still shows that the force is parallel to the rotation point which does not satisfy the condition for torque to occur hence torque is zero.

Wewaii [24]

 It is because the potential energy is similar to MgH.

 When it comes to MgH, it means mass, gravity and height respectively.

 By using the value of acceleration, seema will find the potential energy of a ball.

Find the displacement in meters a runner would travel in 5 hours at an average velocity of 12km/h to the southwest
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

60,000m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s by multiplying with 1000/3600.

Convert hours to seconds by multiplying with 3600.

Because displacement is a vector quantity and deals with the shortest distance between points, simply plug it into the equation s=vt.

The speed of an object and the direction in which it moves constitute a vector quantity known as the velocity. an ostrich is run
Orlov [11]
Velocity of an object is its rate of change of the object's position per interval of time. Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is represented by the speed and the direction is represented by the angle. To determine the velocity components, we use trigonometric functions to determine the angle of the components. For the north component we, use the sine function while, for the west component, we use the cosine function. We calculate as follows:
north velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (sin 54°) = 16.4 m/s
<span>west velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (cos 54°) = 3.49 m/s</span>

Explain why airplane pilots should know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight
Lapatulllka [165]
Air speed is how fast you are peddling over the ground, wind speed is how fast the wind is blowing above the ground.Depending on the correlation between the two with direction thrown the pilot knows what sort of resistance he is flying against.
