Jasmine and her partner want to test to see if there is a relationship between how much of her solar panel is exposed to sunligh
t and how fast her solar car will move. She uses a piece of paper to cover the solar panel different amounts of her solar panel. The chart below shows the data she collected.
Which of the following is the best reason for Jasmine and her partner to take three (3) different trials for this experiment?
They had to fill out all of the lines on the chart.
They wanted at least 15 points to put on her graph.
Any one trial might have been done incorrectly.
The car didn’t work at first.

Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
to solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, with the forces acting on the metal rod.
i)
The center of gravity of the rod is concentrated in half the distance, that is, from the end of the bar to the center there is 40 [cm]. This can be seen in the attached free body diagram.
We have only two equilibrium equations, a summation of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, and a summation of moments on any point equal to zero.
For the summation of forces we will take the forces upwards as positive and the negative forces downwards.
ΣF = 0
Now we perform a sum of moments equal to zero around the point of attachment of the string with the metal bar. Let's take as a positive the moment of the force that rotates the metal bar counterclockwise.
ii) In the free body diagram we can see that the force acts at 18 [cm] of the string.
ΣM = 0
