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

Assume a satellite shines an unpolarized light on a telescope. The intensity of the light as it reaches the telescope is 1.1*10-
n200080 [17]

Answer:

4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2

Explanation:

I_0 = Intensity of unpolarized light = 1.1\times 10^{-10}\ W/m^2

\theta = Angle of the filter = 30^{\circ}

Intensity of light is given by

I=\dfrac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{2}cos^230\\\Rightarrow I=4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2

The intensity of light detected by the camera is 4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2

A bird flies 3.7 meters in 46 seconds, what is its speed?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Speed is 0.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the distance that the bird flies = 3.7 meters

The time is taken by the bird to fly the 3.7 meters = 46 seconds  

We have given distance and time. Now we have to find the speed at which the bird flies. So, to calculate the speed of the bird we have to divide the distance by the time.  

Below is the formula to find the speed.

Speed = Distance / Time

Now insert the given value in the formula.

Speed = 3.7 / 46 = 0.08 m/s

Rays of light coming from the sun (a very distant object) are near and parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror. After
Setler [38]

A concave mirror is an example of curved mirrors. So that the appropriate answer to the given question is option D. The rays will cross at the focal point.

A concave mirror is a type of mirror in which its inner part is the reflecting surface, while its outer part is the back of the mirror.  This mirror reflects all parallel rays close to the principal axis to a point of convergence. It can also be referred to as the converging mirror.

In this type of mirror, all rays of light parallel to the principal axis of the mirror after reflection will cross at the focal point.

Therefore, the required answer to the given question is option D. i.e The rays will cross at the focal point.
