The illustration in figure below shows a uniform metre rule weighing 30 N pivoted on a wedge placed under the 40 cm mark and car

rying a weight of 70 N hanging 2 from the 10 cm mark. The ruler is balanced horizontally by a weight W hanging from the 100 cm mark. Calculate the value of the weight W.

Answer:

W = 30 N

Explanation:

Applying the summation of torques about the wedge for equilibrium, taking the clockwise direction as negative. Since the ruler is balanced horizontally about the wedge. Therefore, the summation of all torques acting about the wedge must be equal to zero.

(70\ N)(40\ cm - 10\ cm)-(30\ N)(50\ cm-40\ cm)-(W)(100\ cm - 40\ cm) = 0\\W(60\ cm) = (70\ N)(30\ cm)-(30\ N)(10\ cm)\\\\W = \frac{1800\ N.cm}{60\ cm}

<u>W = 30 N</u>

Answers:

The transportation industry is no stranger to the manipulation of everyday physics. Cars and trains utilize the wheel, which provides a smooth, steady motion.

The ears hear sounds which occur through the movement of air molecules, and the chemistry that drives all of biology depends on the physics of energy and molecules. Every day, for example, plants absorb sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, creating glucose and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

g When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2 10-15 m before
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Time, t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2\times 10^{-15}\ m before interacting.

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. It will move with the speed of light. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-15}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

So, the time interval is 1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

During the deceleration of an ascending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is _____ her weight. During the de
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Smaller than ; larger than

Explanation:

When the elevator is moving in the upward direction, then the force acting on it is negative in nature because of

N= mg +ma, (g is gravity and a is acceleration)

here ma is negative so the N= mg-ma

Hence, it feels smaller than its original weight.

When the elevator is moving downward , then the force acting will be positive in nature

N= mg+ma,

here ma will be positive so it feels larger the original weight of passenger.
