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

The correct answer is decreases

The further away you are the weaker it would be. That's why at one point you stop being in the field and ti doesn't pull you towards it anymore. Proportionally, if you move towards the Earth then it increases.

A disk-shaped platform has a known rotational inertia ID. The platform is mounted on a fixed axle and rotates in a horizontal pl
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular momentum of that same disk-sphere remains unchanged the very same way before and after the impact of the collision when the clay sphere adheres to the disk.

 \mathbf{I_w} = constant.

The overall value of such moment of inertia is now altered when the clay spherical sticks. Due to the inclusion of the clay sphere, the moment of inertia will essentially rise. As a result of this increase, the angular speed w decreases in value.

Recall that:

The Kinetic energy is given by:

\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} Iw^2} \\ \\\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} lw*w}

where;

\mathbf{I_w} is constant and w reduces;

As a result, just after the collision, the system's total kinetic energy decreases.

We can't tell without more information. We know it will be higher than 40 and lower than 75, but we don't know exactly where it will settle. In order to work that out, we would need to know the volumes of the water and the cube, and WHAT metal the cube is made of.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Concrete

Explanation:

The speed at which sound propagates is medium dependent. As one of the forms of mechanical waves, sound requires a material medium for propagation from place to place.

  • Sound travels with the least speed in air because air particles are far apart and they are randomized.
  • Sound travels with the greatest speed in solids. Concrete is the only solid material given in the choice.

The speed of sound increases from air to liquid and to solid.

1. A boy walk 140 m due north, 85 m due east, 35 m due southeast, 38 m due west and then 19 m due northwest. Calculate the displ
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

141 m at 65.6° N of E

Explanation:

Let E be along the positive x axis of a unit circle

N = 90°

E = 0°

SE = -45°

W = 180°

NW = 135°

east displacement

x = 140cos90 + 85cos0 + 35cos-45 + 38cos180 + 19cos135 = 58.313708... m

north displacement

y = 140sin90 + 85sin0 + 35sin-45 + 38sin180 + 19sin135 = 128.6862915... m

d = √(128.6862915² + 58.313708²) = 141.28216525... m

tanθ = 128.6862915 / 58.313708

θ = 65.622521...
