Answer:

c) 1.0 kg

Explanation:

The mass of the stick will be located at the centre of the metre rule. Since the rock is located 0.25m from the pivot, the mass of the meter rule is also 0.25m to the Right of the support

According to law of moment

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anti clockwise moments

Clockwise moment = M×0.25(mass of metre rule is M)

CW moment = 0.25M

Anti clockwise moment = 0.25×1

ACW moments = 0.25kgm

Equate;

0.25M = 0.25

M = 0.25/0.25

M = 1.0kg

Hence the mass of the metre rule is 1.0kg

When you drop an object from a certain height, it takes time T to reach the ground with no air resistance. If you dropped it fro
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

When we drop an object from height , suppose h

it takes time T

using equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where  

h=displacement

u=initial\ velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

here u=0 because it dropped from a certain height

h=\frac{1}{2}gT^2

T=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

When height is increases to three times of original height

i.e. h'=3 h

then time period becomes

T'=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 3h}{g}}

T'=\sqrt{3}T

Describe one common critique or criticism of Utilitarianism. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this criticism?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The second most common criticism of utilitarianism is that it is impossible to apply - that happiness (etc) cannot be quantified or measured, that there is no way of calculating a trade-off between intensity and extent, or intensity and probability (etc), or comparing happiness to suffering.

What is the maximum speed when the conditions are mass =450 kg, initial height= 30 m, and the roller coaster is initially at res
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

B. 24.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg

height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m

The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster  due to its height is given by;

P.E_{max} = mgh\\\\PE_{max} = 450 *9.8*30\\\\PE_{max} = 132,300 \ J

P.E_{max} = K.E_{max} \ (law \ of \ conservation\ of \ energy)

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2K.E_{max}}{m}\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2*132300}{450}\\\\ v_{max}^2 =588\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{588}\\\\  v_{max} = 24.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.
