Answer:

x = 45 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rod, L = 50 cm

Mass, m₁ = 0.2 kg

It is at 40cm from the left end of the rod.

We need to find the distance from the left end of the rod should a 0.6kg mass be hung to balance the rod.

The centre of mass of the rod is at 25 cm.

Taking moments of both masses such that,

15\times 0.2=x\times 0.6\\\\x=\drac{3}{0.6}\\\\x=5\ cm

The distance from the left end is 40+5 = 45 cm.

Hence, at a distance of 45 cm from the left end it will balance the rod.

If the Earth were compressed in such a way that its mass remained the same, but the distance around the equator were just one-ha
vovikov84 [41]
If the distance around the equator is reduced by half, then the radius is also reduced by half.

Since the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to 1/(radius²),
the acceleration changes by a factor of 1/(1/2)² = 1/(1/4) = <em>4 </em>.

The acceleration due to gravity ... and also the weight of everything on Earth ...
becomes <em>4 times what it is now</em>.

A block of ice of mass 4.30 kg is placed against a horizontal spring that has a force constant k = 250 N/m and is compressed a d
OleMash [197]

Answer:

W = 0.060 J

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Explanation:

solution:

for the spring:

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2

x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2

W = 0.060 J

the work-energy theorem,

W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK

with K = 1/2*m*v^2

v_2 = √2*W/m

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

A force of 200N due South and another force of 300N due East each act on an object simultaneously.
dangina [55]

Answer:

a) 500

b)-500, north west

Explanation:

a) sum of F= F1+F2= 200+300= 500

b) sum of forces=0

so 200+300-500+0

What molecular geometry would be expected for f2 and hf?
Kaylis [27]
The molecular geometry of both F2 and HF is linear.

There are only two atoms which are covalently bonded and thus, the bonding scheme with the atoms looks like this;

F --- F

H---F

So, both are linear.
