A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 65.5-gram mass is attached at the 21.0-cm

mark, the fulcrum must be moved to the 39.2-cm mark for balance. What is the mass of the meter stick

Answer:

113.53 g

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for explanation.

In the attached photo, M is the mass of the meter stick.

The value of M can be obtained as shown below:

Clockwise moment = M × 10.5

Anticlockwise moment = 65.5 × 18.2

Anticlockwise moment = Clockwise moment

65.5 × 18.2 = M × 10.5

1192.1 = M × 10.5

Divide both side by 10.5

M = 1192.1 / 10.5

M = 113.53 g

Thus, the mass of the meter stick is 113.53 g

Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : 2446 years.

Explanation :

Length of semi major axis is, a=84\ au= 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

According to Kepler's third law, square of time period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

i.e T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

where G is gravitational constant

M is  mass of sun, M=1.98\times 10^{30}\ Kg

So, T^2=\dfrac{4\times (3.14)^2}{6.6\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg\times 1.98\times 10^{30}\Kg}

T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times(84\times 1.496\times 10^{11})^3

T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times 1984415.6\times 10^{33}

T^2=59532469.8\times 10^{14}\ s

T=7715.7\times 10^7\ s

since, 1\ sec=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ years

So, orbital period is approximately 2446 years.

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>
