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?
Physics

Anarel [89]3 years ago

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.

If you ran 15 km/hr for 2.5 hours, how much distance would you cover?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: 37.5 km

Explanation:

The question is that

If you ran 15 km/hr for 2.5 hours, how much distance would you cover ?

Where

Speed = 15 km/ hr

Time = 2.5 hours

Using the formula for speed.

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time into the formula

15 = distance/ 2.5

Make distance the subject of formula by cross multiplying.

Distance = 15 × 2.5

Distance = 37.5 km.

The planet Jupiter orbits the Sun at a nearly constant speed. Which of the following statements are true?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

True. The sun being at the center of Jupiter's orbit, pulls the planet towards it (providing the centripetal force), therefore, there exists a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.

b. There is a force on Jupiter pulling it out from the center of the orbit.

Nope. The centripetal force due to gravity acts towards the center of the orbit.  

c. There is a force on Jupiter in the direction of its motion.

Nope. There exists only the centripetal force acting towards the center of the orbit,

d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.

Yes. Because of the centripetal force gravity provides, Jupiter is accelerating towards the center of the orbit, but it does not fall in because it has velocity perpendicular to the direction of its acceleration.

A typical rechargeable deep-cycle battery for an electric trolling motor (fishing boat) delivers 10A of current at a voltage of
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

a) 360 kQ

b) 4.32 MJ

c) 1200 W-h

Explanation:

a) The definition of the current is.

I= \frac{Q}{t}

having a count that 10 hours = 36.000 s

Q = I*t

Q = 36000*10 = 360.000 [Q]

b) The definition of the Energy in power terms is.

E = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {P} \, dt

and the definition of power is:

P = V*I = 12 * 10 = 120 [W]

replacing in the energy formula.

E = \int\limits^{36.000}_{0} {120} \, dt

solving the integral, have into account that t is in seconds.

E=P*t=120*36000=4.320.000=4.32 [MJ]

c) The energy in W-h, we can find it multiplying power by hours

E = P*t =120*10 = 1200 W-h.
