A 6 N and a 10 N force act on an object. The moment arm of the 6 N force is 0.2 m. If the 10 N force produces five times the tor

Levart [38]

Answer:

The moment arm is 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that,

First force $F_{1}=6\ N$

Second force $F_{2}=10\ N$

Distance r = 0.2 m

We need to calculate the moment arm

Using formula of torque

$\tau=Force\times lever\ arm$

So, Here,

$\tau_{2}=5 \tau_{1}$

We know that,

The torque is the product of the force and distance.

Put the value of torque in the equation

$F_{2}\times d_{2}=5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}$

$r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}}{F_{2}}$

Where, $F_{1}$ =First force

$F_{1}$ =First force

$F_{2}$ =Second force

$r_{1}$ = distance

Put the value into the formula

$r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times6\times0.2}{10}$

$r_{2}=0.6\ m$

Hence, The moment arm is 0.6 m

a ball is projected upward at time t = 0.00 s from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik

grin007 [14]

Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the height of the ball when it hits the ground

$y_{o}=70 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=82m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time when the ball strikes the ground

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find $t$ from (1):

$0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$ (2)

Rewritting (2):

$-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0$ (3)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (4)

Where:

$a=-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}$

$b=82m/s$

$c=70m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-82 \pm \sqrt{82^{2}-4(-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(70)}}{2a}$ (5)

Solving (5) we find the positive result is:

$t=17.68 s$

Noise-canceling headphones are an application of destructive interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to pick

exis [7]

The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh
