Answer: F = 20 N

Explanation:

I will ASSUME that the fulcrum is at the center of gravity of the lever arm, This means that the lever arm itself creates no moment about the fulcrum because there is no moment arm for that particular force.

To solve, we sum moments about any convenient point to zero (zero because there is no acceleration in the F = ma equation)

The easiest convenient point is the fulcrum

30((90/2) - 15) - F(90/2) = 0

           30(30) = F(45)

                    F = 900/45 = 20 N

Why do smaller endotherms require more energy per unit of mass than larger endotherms?
Naily [24]
They expend more oxygen. Littler endotherms lose warmth to the earth proportionately speedier than huge endotherms: less warm mass, protecting layers in littler creatures are less successful by dint of being more slender, and more prominent surface region to volume proportion implies snappier radiation of warmth

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Elena L [17]

#1

A point on the outside of a spinning top whose rotational speed is constant.

Since the point at the top is at rest so it will not accelerate at all

A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

Since weight is counter balanced by air resistance so net force on it is zero so acceleration will be zero

A car on the freeway experiencing a net force of -120 N.

Since net force is not zero so it will accelerate here

A submerged beach ball whose buoyant force is eight times the force of gravity on it.

Since buoyant force is more than the weight so it will not at rest and move upwards with some acceleration


#2

A frictionless spinning merry go round.

Since spinning wheel accelerating due to centripetal force so it is non inertial frame

A falling rock.

Falling rock is accelerating due to gravity so it is again non inertial frame

A hot air balloon moving at 30 degrees east of north with no net force.

since hot air balloon is having no force on it so its acceleration is zero and its an inertial frame

A space shuttle whose boosters just ignited for takeoff.

Since space shuttle is accelerating due to boosters so it is non inertial frame

#3

Here net force on it is due to two given forces

F_1 = 4320 N towards right

F_2 = 4380 N towards left

so here net force is given as

F = F_2 - F_1

F = 4380 - 4320 = 60 N

since force towards left is more so the direction will be towards left

so correct answer is 60 N towards left

What would be the answer for this and how?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k =  250\ N/m\\

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>B. 6 cm</u>

Aluminum oxide can be produced during rocket launches. Show that the sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equ
Triss [41]

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

A bathtub contains 65 gallons of water and the total weight of the tub and water is approximately 931.925 pounds. You pull the p
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Q = 8,345 * v

Explanation:

So, we are looking for an expression of the amount of water that has been drained from the tub. The expression is in terms of v that represent the number of gallons of water drained since the plug was pulled. Since we are interested in the pounds of water that has been drained from the tub we need to take into account that for every gallon of water drained, 8.345 pounds have left the tub. Therefore, the expression for the weight of water Q that has been drained from the tub in terms of v is simply :

Q = 8,345 * v

Where v is the amount of gallons that has been drained from the tub.
