Answer:

Well, temperature is simply an average measure of the kinetic energy for particles of matter. Another way of putting it would be that temperature simply describes the average vibration of particles. Because the motion of all particles is random, they don’t all move at the same speed and in the same direction.

Work, scientifically speaking, is done when a force is applied to an object which consequently moves the object at a certain direction. Work in formula, is force multiplied with distance.

What is the net torque on the square plate, with sides 0.2 m, from each of the three forces? F1=18 N, F2=26 N, and F3=14 N. Use

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side = 0.2 m

Force $F_{1}=18\ N$

Force $F_{2}=26\ N$

Force $F_{3}=14\ N$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₁

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}d_{1}$

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{1}=-18\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{1}=-1.8\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₂

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}d_{2}$

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{2}=26\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{2}=2.6\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₃

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{3}=F_{3}d_{3}$

$\tau_{3}=(F_{3}\sin45+F_{3}\cos45)\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{3}=0.1(14\sin45+14\cos45)$

$\tau_{3}=1.92\ N-m$

We need to calculate the net torque on the square plate

$\tau=\tau_{1}+\tau_{2}+\tau_{3}$

$\tau=-1.8+2.6+1.92$

$\tau=2.72\ N-m$

Hence, The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the energy levels of n1 and n2 are high, the difference of their energy level will tend to zero thereby making the energy of the emitted photons very low.

A satellite in orbit is not truly traveling through a vacuum.It is moving through very, very thin air. Does the resulting airfri

defon

PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

A tiger travels 3m/s^2 for 4.1s,what was its initial speed if it's final speed was 55k/h?

zaharov [31]

Acceleration a=3m/s^2
time t= 4.1seconds
Final velocity V= 55km/h
initial velocity U= ?
First convert V to m/s
36km/h=10m/s
55km/h= 55*10/36=15.28m/s
Using the formula V= U+at
U= V-at
U= 15.28-3*4.1=15.28-12.3=2.98m/s
Initial velocity U= 2.98m/s or 10.73km/h (Using the conversion rate 36km/h=10m/s)
