A 1 kg ball is hung at the end of a rod 1 m long. If the system balances at a point on the rod one third of the distance from th

e end holding the mass, what is the mass of the rod?

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Assuming the rod's mass is uniformly distributed, the center of mass is at half the length.

Sum of the moments at the balance point:

-(Mg)(L/3) + (mg)(L/2 − L/3) = 0

(Mg)(L/3) = (mg)(L/2 − L/3)

(Mg)(L/3) = (mg)(L/6)

2M = m

M = 1 kg, so m = 2 kg.

The mass of the rod is 2 kg.

Which device conferts electric energy into mechanical energy
Phantasy [73]

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

What is electric motor?

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

A generator is  mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power

Hence  it will convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Some applications of electric motor are:

Industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools, vehicles, and disk drives.

Six artificial satellites circle a space station at a constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space st
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

Based on their acceleration the rank of the satellites from largest to smallest is.

B   >→   A   >→    E   >→    C    >→     F    >→     D.

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by \frac{v^2}{r}

Therefore the acceleration for each of the satellite is given by

Satellite A)      \frac{160^2}{5000} =    5.12 m/s²

Satellite B)      \frac{160^2}{2500}  =   10.24 m/s²

Satellite C)      \frac{80^2}{2500}   =  2.56 m/s²

Satellite D)      \frac{40^2}{10000}  =  0.16 m/s²

Satellite E)       \frac{120^2}{5000}   =  2.88 m/s²

Satellite F)       \frac{80^2}{10000}  = 0.64 m/s²

Therefore in order of decreasing acceleration, from largest to smallest we have

Satellite B) > Satellite A) >Satellite E) >Satellite C)>Satellite F)>Satellite D).
