Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is all about torque. The "rules" are that in order for a system to be in rotational equilibrium, the sum of the torques on the system have to equal 0 (in other words, they have to equal each other {cancel each other out}). The equation for torque is

τ = F⊥r where τ is torque, F⊥ is the perpendicular force, and r is the lever arm length in meters. We also have to understand that in general Forces moving clockwise are negative and Forces moving counterclockwise are positive. Now we're ready for the problem:

A. The counterclockwise torque:

τ = 300(3) so

τ = 900N*m

B. The clockwise torque:

τ = -450(2.5) so

τ = -1100N*m

C. Obviously the system is not in roational equilibrium because one side is experiencing a greater torque than the other. This system will move clockwise as it currently exists.

D. In order for the system to be in rotational equilibrium, we have to move Bob's location from the fulcrum. Let's see to where.

The torques have to be the same on both sides of the fulcrum; mathematically, that looks like this:

F⊥r = F⊥r  Filling in:

300(3) = 450r and

900 = 450r so

2 = r. This means that Bob will have to move closer to the fulcrum by a half of a meter to 2 meters from the fulcrum in order for the system to be in balance.

Isn't this so much fun?!

Grace rides her bike at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour. How far can she travel in 2 1/2 hours?
aliina [53]

Answer:

15 miles

Explanation:

6 miles per hour

2 1/2 hours

6 x 2 = 12

6 x 1/2 = 3

12 + 3 = 15

A particle with mass 1.81*10^-3kg and a charge of 1.22*10^-8C has, at a given instant, a velocity v= (3.0*10^4 m/s)j.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

a = -0.33 m/s² k^

Direction: negative

Explanation:

From Newton's law of motion, we know that;

F = ma

Now, from magnetic fields, we know that;. F = qVB

Thus;

ma = qVB

Where;

m is mass

a is acceleration

q is charge

V is velocity

B is magnetic field

We are given;

m = 1.81 × 10^(−3) kg

q = 1.22 × 10 ^(−8) C

V = (3.00 × 10⁴ m/s) ȷ^.

B = (1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^

Thus, since we are looking for acceleration, from, ma = qVB; let's make a the subject;

a = qVB/m

a = [(1.22 × 10 ^(−8)) × (3.00 × 10⁴)ȷ^ × ((1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^)]/(1.81 × 10^(−3))

From vector multiplication, ȷ^ × ȷ^ = 0 and ȷ^ × i^ = -k^

Thus;

a = -0.33 m/s² k^
