Let point A be 0.0 miles (first city)
Let point B be 160.5 miles (first city to second city)
Let point C be 28.5 miles (first city to mail stop)

Take C – A = C [28.5 - 0.0 = 28.5] (This checks the distance between city 1 and Mail stop) 

Then Take B – C = Distance from the first city to the second city [160.5 - 28.5 = 132 Miles]


Answer: The Mail stop is 132 miles from the Second City.

A student places blocks on a 100cm long see-saw as shown/
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Part 1)

\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m

Part 2)

\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m

Part 3)

\tau_3 = 1.4 N m

Part 4)

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

Explanation:

As we know that the block A is placed at distance

d = 50 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of A is given as

\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m

the block B is placed at distance

d = 30 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of B is given as

\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m

Now torque due to weight of the scale is given as

\tau_3 = 7(0.20)

\tau_3 = 1.4 N m

now torque on left side of scale is given as

\tau_{left} = \tau_1 + \tau_3

\tau_{left} = 2.5 + 1.4 = 3.9 N m

Torque on right Side is given as

\tau_{right} = \tau_2 = 4.2 Nm

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

. Determine if approximate cylindrical symmetry holds for the following situations. State why or why not. (a) A 300-cm long copp
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a) Yes

b) No

Explanation:

In the first case, part a, yes we can say for certainty that cylinderical symmetry holds. Why so? You may ask. This is because from the question, we are told that the length of the rod is 300 cm. And this said length is longer than the distance to the point from the center of the rod, which is 5 cm.

In the second half of the question, I beg to disagree that cylindrical symmetry holds. Again, you may ask why, this is because the length of the rod in this case, is having the same order of magnitude as the distance to the center of the rod. Thus, it is not symmetrical.

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A. False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength.

For example: a high frequency would mean there are shorter wavelengths that occur in a period. Meanwhile, a low frequency would indicate that the wavelengths are longer and in longer periods.

If the temperature of an iron sphere is increased A)its density will decrease .B)its volume will decrease. C)its mass will decre
babymother [125]

Answer:

A) Its density will decrease

Explanation:

When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.

At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.

The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):

d=\frac{m}{V}

We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.
