What name is given to the turning effect of a force?

Physics
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The turning effect of a force is known as the moment. It is the product of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot or point where the object will turn. When undoing a nut fastened to a screw by hand one realises that the amount of force required is a lot greater than when undoing the same nut using a spanner.

a 4kg block is attatched to a vertical sspring constant 800n/m. the spring stretches 5cm down. how much elastic potential energy
kow [346]

The Potential energy stored in the system is 1 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 4 kg

Spring constant, k = 800 N/m

Distance, x = 5cm = 0.05m

Potential energy, U = ?

We know,

Change in potential energy is equal to the work done.

So,

U = \frac{1}{2} k (x)^2\\\\

By plugging in the values we get,

U = \frac{1}{2} * 800 * (0.05)^2\\ \\U = 400 * 0.0025\\\\U = 1J\\

Therefore, Potential energy stored in the system is 1 J

A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an
Murrr4er [49]

At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is

∑ F = ma

n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a

where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is

a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²

and so

n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a speed of 26 m/s and a frequency of 49? ? Show your work
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Wave speed = Wavelength x Frequency

26 m/s = Wavelength x 49

Divide by 49 to find the wavelength:

The wavelength is approximately 0.53

Let me know if this helps!
