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.

does increasing the frequency of a wave also increase its wavelength if not how are these quantities related​
Aleks [24]

Answer: Increasing the frequency does not increase the wavelength. They are inversely related.

Explanation:

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases. If you look at a transverse wave and it has a long wavelength, there only a few waves produce. Which means there is less frequency produced. So as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. The other way around can work to. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. They are inversely related.

61. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Part a)

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

Explanation:

As we know that total power used in the room is given as

P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + P_4

here we have

P_1 = (110)(3) = 330 W

P_2 = 100 W

P_3 = 60 W

P_4 = 3 W

P = 330 + 100 + 60 + 3

P = 493 W

Part a)

Since power supply is at 110 Volt so the current obtained from this supply is given as

110\times i = 493

i = 4.48 A

now resistance of transmission line

R = \frac{\rho L}{A}

R = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-8})(10\times 10^3)}{\pi(4.126\times 10^{-3})^2}

R = 5.23 \ohm

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48)^2(5.23)

P = 105 W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{105}{493} \times 100

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

now same power must have been supplied from the supply station at 110 kV, so we have

110 \times 10^3 (i ) = 493

i = 4.48\times 10^{-3} A

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48 \times 10^{-3})^2(5.23)

P = 1.05 \times 10^{-4} W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{1.05 \times 10^{-4}}{493} \times 100

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

How to calculate the slope of position time graph?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

where

\Delta y is the increment in the y-variable

\Delta x is the increment in the x-variable

We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:

\Delta y corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement, \Delta s

\Delta x corresponds to the change in time \Delta t, so the time interval

Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which corresponds to the definition of velocity.

Choose the correct statement regarding energy production in the interior of a star and energy production in a power plant. A sta
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission and fusion are two processes at which an atomic nucleus is changed to produce energy. Fission is the process splitting heavy atomic into lighter atomic nuclei.

So, fusion is the combination of smaller atoms to form larger atoms and star uses this as source of energy.

Fusion is the process at which light atomic nuclei are merged or fused together to form heavier nuclei.

The energy source for all stars is nuclear fusion. In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom.
