A candle is an energy converter why??

The heat from the wick melts the wax which gets absorbed in the wick and then gets burnt (which is really oxidation) to produce heat energy as well as light energy. The energy transforms from chemical energy to heat and light energy. Because when the candle burns a chemical reaction occurs and produces heat and light.

Refer to the first diagram. What is the weight of the person hanging on the end of the seesaw in Newtons?

irina1246 [14]

Due to equilibrium of moments:

1) The weight of the person hanging on the left is 250 N

2) The 400 N person is 3 m from the fulcrum

3) The weight of the board is 200 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we use the principle of equilibrium of moments.

In fact, for the seesaw to be in equilibrium, the total clockwise moment must be equal to the total anticlockwise moment.

The moment of a force is defined as:

$M=Fd$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the perpendicular distance of the force from the fulcrum

In the first diagram:

- The clockwise moment is due to the person on the right is

$M_c = W_2 d_2$

where $W_2 = 500 N$ is the weight of the person and $d_2 = 2 m$ is its distance from the fulcrum

- The anticlockwise moment due to the person hanging on the left is

$M_a = W_1 d_1$

where $W_1$ is his weight and $d_1 = 4 m$ is the distance from the fulcrum

Since the seesaw is in equilibrium,

$M_c = M_a$

So we can find the weight of the person on the left:

$W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2\\W_1 = \frac{W_2 d_2}{d_1}=\frac{(500)(2)}{4}=250 N$

Again, for the seesaw to be in equilibrium, the total clockwise moment must be equal to the total anticlockwise moment.

- The clockwise moment due to the person on the right is

$M_c = W_2 d_2$

where $W_2 = 400 N$ is the weight of the person and $d_2$ is its distance from the fulcrum

- The anticlockwise moment due to the person on the left is

$M_a = W_1 d_1$

where $W_1 = 300 N$ is his weight and $d_1 = 4 m$ is the distance from the fulcrum.

Since the seesaw is in equilibrium,

$M_c = M_a$

So we can find the distance of the person on the right:

$W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2\\d_2 = \frac{W_1 d_1}{W_2}=\frac{(300)(4)}{400}=3 m$

As before, for the seesaw to be in equilibrium, the total clockwise moment must be equal to the total anticlockwise moment.

- The clockwise moment around the fulcrum this time is due to the weight of the seesaw:

$M_c = W_2 d_2$

where $W_2$ is the weight of the seesaw and $d_2 = 3 m$ is the distance of its centre of mass from the fulcrum

- The anticlockwise moment due to the person on the left is

$M_a = W_1 d_1$

where $W_1 = 600 N$ is his weight and $d_1 = 1 m$ is the distance from the fulcrum

Since the seesaw is in equilibrium,

$M_c = M_a$

So we can find the weight of the seesaw:

$W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2\\W_2 =\frac{W_1 d_1}{d_2}= \frac{(600)(1)}{3}=200 N$

The voltage between two parallel plates separated by a distance of 3. 0 cm is 120 v. The electric field between the plates is?

Lapatulllka [165]

The electric field between plates is 4000V/m.

An electric field (sometimes E-field) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them. It also refers to the physical field for a system of charged particles.

The value of the electric field has dimensions of force per unit charge. In the metre-kilogram-second and SI systems, the appropriate units are newtons per coulomb, equivalent to volts per metre.

The voltage between points A and B is

V=E.d

E =V/d (uniform E- field only)

where d is the distance from A to B, or the distance between the plates.

Given:

distance d = 3 cm

voltage V = 120 V

Electric field E = V/d

E = 120 V / 3cm

E = 40 V / 1 cm [ 1 cm = 1/100 m ]

E = 4000 V/m.
