Answer:

M₂ = M  then L₂ = L

M₂> M  then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Explanation:

This is a static equilibrium exercise, to solve it we must fix a reference system at the turning point, generally in the center of the rod. By convention counterclockwise turns are considered positive

          ∑ τ = 0

           

The mass of the rock is M and placed at a distance, L the mass of the rod M₁, is considered to be placed in its center of mass, which by uniform e is in its geometric center (x = 0) and the triangular mass M₂, with a distance L₂

The triangular shape of the second object determines that its mass can be considered concentrated in its geometric center (median) that tapers with a vertical line if the triangle is equilateral, the most used shape in measurements.

         M L + M₁ 0 - m₂ L₂ = 0

         M L - m₂ L₂ = 0

         L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

From this answer we have several possibilities

* if the two masses are equal then L₂ = L

* If the masses are different, with M₂> M then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Len [333]

Answer:

d=5\ g/cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 100 grams

Volume of the object, V = 20 cm³

We need to find the density of the object. We know that, density is equal to mass per unit volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{100\ g}{20\ cm^3}\\\\d=5\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the object is equal to 5\ g/cm^3.

Planets A and B have the same mass, but planet A is half the size of planet B.
pychu [463]

Answer:

c. You would weigh less on planet A because the distance between

you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes your weight on each planet is that you would weigh less on planet A because the distance between you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

  • This is based on Newton's law of universal gravitation which states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

Since weight is dependent on the force of gravity and mass, the planet with more gravitational pull will have masses on them weighing more.

  • Since the distance between the person and the center of the planet is smaller, therefore, the weight will be lesser.

We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.
