The upward force on each supporting plank is 200 N

<u>The given parameters include;</u>

  • weight of the plank, W₁ = 400 N
  • length of the plank, l = 2 m
  • upward force of each supporting plank, = W₂ and W₃

To show that the upward force of each supporting plank is 200 N, make the following sketch.

                 W₂                                                           W₃

                  ↑                                                              ↑                                                              

           -----------------------------------------------------------------------

              0.2m                         ↓                               0.2m

                                              400 N

  • The two supporting planks keeps the 2m plank in equilibrium position.
  • If the plank is in equilibrium position the sum of the upward forces equals sum of the downward force.

W₂  +   W₃ = 400 N

But the distance of each supporting plank from the end is equal, (0.2m).

Then, W₂  =  W₃

2W₂ = 400 N

W₂ = 400N/2

W₂ = 200 N

W₃ = 200 N

Therefore, the upward force on each supporting plank that keeps the plank in equilibrium position is 200 N.

Consider a household that uses 22.0 kW-hour of electricity per day on average. Most of that electricity is supplied by fossil fu
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A_{net} = 13.469\,m^{2}

Explanation:

The daily energy consumption of the household is:

\Delta E_{day} = (22\,kWh)\cdot (\frac{3600000\,J}{1\,kWh} )

\Delta E_{day} = 79200000\,J

The needed area of solar panel to power the household is:

\Delta E_{day} = \eta\cdot G\cdot A_{net}\cdot \Delta t

A_{net} = \frac{\Delta E_{day}}{\eta\cdot G\cdot \Delta t}

A_{net} = \frac{79200000\,J}{(0.181)\cdot (376\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (86400\,s)}

A_{net} = 13.469\,m^{2}

According to quantum physics, measuring velocity of a tiny particle with an electromagnet
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

In quantum physics <u>there is a law to relate the position and the momentum of the particle</u>, it says that if we know with precision where is a quantum particle, we can not know the momentum of this particle, in other words, the velocity of the particle. So, when we measure the velocity of the particle we find the correct value of the particle, but we can not determine with accuracy where is the particle. This law is known as the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and, its expressed as follows:    

\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}

<em>where Δx: is the position's uncertainty, Δp: is the momentum's uncertainty and h: is the Planck constant.</em>  

Therefore, the correct answer is A: measuring the velocity of a tiny particle with an electromagnet has no effect on the velocity of the particle. It only affects the determination of the particle's position.      

I hope it helps you!
