Answer:

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a state in which the algebraic sum of all forces acting on an object is zero. Thus the object has no force acting on it. The types are: stable, unstable and neutral equilibrium. While a torque is a turning force which are equal but acts in an opposite direction. When applied to on object, it constitute a turning effect. Example is the force applied on a tap, handle wheel of a car etc.

In the given question, the condition stated shows that the stick would experience a torque, thus not in equilibrium. Since the forces at its ends are in opposite directions, then it continues to rotate about its axis.

Answer:

    \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} } = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

         B = ρ_liquid  g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

         B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

        ρ_body = m / V_body

        m = ρ_body  V_body

        W = ρ_body  V_body  g

we substitute

          ρ_liquid  g  V_liquid = ρ_body  g  V_body

          \frac{\rho_{body}   }{\rho_{liquid} } } =  \frac{V_{liquid}   }{V_{body} } }

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

          V = A h_bogy

Thus

          \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }

we substitute

           5/9 = \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13
RUDIKE [14]
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.

When performing the spike the ball should be hit with the ?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

When you are performing spike it's most effective to strike the ball from the right or left side at a sharp downward angle. Whether you are spiking the ball from the right or left front position, position yourself behind the 10-foot line (attack line), which is the line that is about four steps away from the net.
