a uniform metre rule is pivoted at its centre and weights of 5 N and 12 N are hung at the 3 cm and 5 cm marks respectively. how

In order to balance the stick on the pivot, the total "moments" must be equal on both sides.  A "moment" is (a weight) x (its distance from the center).

for the 5N weight: Moment = (5N) x (3 cm) = 15 N-cm

for the 12N weight: Moment = (12N) x (5 cm) = 60 N-cm

Sum of the moments trying to pull the stick down on that side = 75 N-cm

Whatever we hang on the other side has to provide a moment of 75 N-cm in the other direction.  We have a 25N weight. Where should we hang it ?  

(25N) x (distance from the pivot) = 75 N-cm

Distance from the pivot = (75 N-cm) / (25 N)

<em>Distance from the pivot =  3 cm </em>

Two trains are headed towards each other on the same track unbeknownst to the engineers. One departs San Francisco. Its average
aalyn [17]

Answer:

7,166 hrs =430  minutes

Explanation:

Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule

1 h --->120mi

X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.

A 0.59 kg bullfrog is sitting at rest on a level log. how large is the normal force of the log on the bullfrog?
ladessa [460]
<span>The bullfrog is sitting at rest on the log. The force of gravity pulls down on the bullfrog. We can find the weight of the bullfrog due to the force of gravity. weight = mg = (0.59 kg) x (9.80 m/s^2) weight = 5.782 N The bullfrog is pressing down on the log with a force of 5.782 newtons. Newton's third law tells us that the log must be pushing up on the bullfrog with a force of the same magnitude. Therefore, the normal force of the log on the bullfrog is 5.782 N</span>
