A seesaw made of a plank of mass 10.0 kg and length 3.00 m is balanced on a fulcrum 1.00 m from one end of the plank. A 20.0-kg

mass rests on the end of the plank nearest the fulcrum. What mass must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced?

Answer:

The mass at the other end is 7.5 kg.

Explanation:

Let the mass is m.

Take the moments about the fulcrum.

20 x 1 = 10 x 0.5 + m x 2

20 = 5 + 2 m

2 m = 15

m = 7.5 kg

Answer:

7.5 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=10 kg

Length of plank, l=3 m

Distance of fulcrum from one end of the plank=1 m

m_2=20 kg

We have to find the mass must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

Let m be the mass must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

In balance condition

20\times 1=10\times (1.5-1)+m\times (1.5+0.5)

20=10(0.5)+2m

20=5+2m

2m=20-5=15

\implies m=\frac{15}{2}

m=7.5 kg

Hence, mass 7.5 kg   must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

The total kinetic energy of two cars is measured before and after they crash into each other. The total kinetic energy of the tw
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct

• what is the typical distance between two adjacent pins on a 14-pin dual-in-line ic package?
muminat

A 14 pin dual-in-line IC package[14 DIL] is an integrated socket which is most popular form of IC package and has a wide range of application in digital electronics.

The 14-pin DIL has two pairs per side and each pair contains seven connecting pins.

The pairs of pins are arranged linearly one after another.The typical dimensions of width is 6.5 mm and the typical dimension of length is 18 mm.

we are asked to calculate the typical distance between two adjacent pins.

The typical distance between two adjacent pins is calculated as-

                                                                 Typical\ distance =\frac{dimensional\ length}{number\ of\ pins\ in\ each\ row}

                                    =\frac{18 mm}{7}

                                    = 2.5714 mm    [ans]

When UV light of wavelength 248 nm is shone on aluminum metal, electrons are ejected withmaximum kinetic energy 0.92 eV. What ma
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is 303.7 nm

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the UV light, λ = 248 nm = 248 x 10⁻⁹ m

maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron, K.E = 0.92 eV

let the work function of the aluminum metal = Ф

Apply photoelectric equation:

E = K.E + Ф

Where;

Ф is the minimum energy needed to eject electron the aluminum metal

E is the energy of the incident light

The energy of the incident light is calculated as follows;

E = hf = h\frac{c}{\lambda} \\\\where;\\\\h \ is \ Planck's \ constant = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ Js\\\\c \ is \ speed \ of \ light = 3 \times 10^{8} \ m/s\\\\E = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34})\times (3\times 10^8)}{248\times 10^{-9}} \\\\E = 8.02 \times 10^{-19} \ J

The work function of the aluminum metal is calculated as;

Ф = E - K.E

Ф = 8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹  -  (0.92 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

Ф =  8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ J   -  1.474 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Ф = 6.546 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is calculated as;

\phi = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{max}} \\\\\lambda_{max} = \frac{hc}{\phi} \\\\\lambda_{max} = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}) \times (3 \times 10^8) }{6.546 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\\lambda_{max} = 3.037 \times 10^{-7} m\\\\\lambda_{max} = 303.7 \ nm
