John is carrying a shovelful of snow. The center of mass of the 3.00 kg of snow he is holding is 15.0 cm from the end of the sho

vel. He is pushing down on the opposite end of the shovel with one hand and holding it up 30.0 cm from that end with his other hand. Ignore the mass of the shovel. Sarah says that his hand pushing down on the shovel must be exerting a greater force than the hand pushing up. James says it is just the reverse. Which one, if either, is correct?

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2

so here we have

F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

An example of an action and reaction is sitting on a chair. Your body pushes down on the chair because of the force of what?
vaieri [72.5K]

Your body is pushing down on a chair because it is being attracted by gravity, the reason that your body is not moving down because there is a normal force acting on your body; together the net force of weight (m*g) and normal force is equal to zero

With the aid of a string, a gyroscope is accelerated from rest to 16 rad/s in 0.40 s. what is its angular acceleration in rad/s2
vovikov84 [41]

Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

Change in angular speed = (ending speed) minus (starting speed)

Change in angular speed = (16 rad/s) - (zero) = 16 rad/s .

Angular acceleration = (16 rad/s) / (0.4 s)

(Average) angular acceleration = 40 rad/s²

Different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them. This is due to the fact that they have different
Georgia [21]

Due to the Composition, different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them.

What are Asteroids:

  • Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets.
  • Asteroids are generally made up of rocky material, metals and their size are large in  comparison to comets. Asteroid belt is found between Jupiter and Mars.

Composition of Asteroids:

  • Most of the asteroids in the Main Belt are made of rock and stone.
  • The remaining asteroids are made up of a mix of these, along with carbon-rich materials. Some of the more distant asteroids tend to contain more ices.

We determine reflectivity of asteroids by comparing the brightness of light in the visible spectrum to the brightness of light in the infrared spectrum. The light shining from asteroids is reflected sunlight.

Hence we can say that,

Does a falling rock have potential or kinetic energy
Neko [114]

depends t what stage in the fall it is. If it is at the peak, it is fully potential. If it is in the middle, it has both. If it is at the bottom of the fall, it is completely kinetic
