Answer: Torque T = 40.7 Nm

Explanation:

Torque or turning effect is the rotational equivalent of linear force, i.e moment of force about a point.

Given that the force is applied perpendicular to the edge (angle 90°)

Torque can be represented by T;

T = FrSin∅ = Fr ( sin90 = 1)

T = force × distance

T = F × r

F = 55N

r = 74cm = 0.74m

T = 55N × 0.74m

T = 40.7 Nm

Difference between derived quantity and physical quantity

Lerok [7]

Answer:

<h2>Derived quantities are based on fundamental quantities, and they can be given in terms of fundamental quantities.</h2>

<h3>Fundamental quantities are the base quantities of a unit system, and they are defined independent of the other quantities. </h3>

ryan hypothesizes that darker colors heat up faster. he places a thermometer inside a red wool sock, a green cotton glove, and a

telo118 [61]

Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.

Block A is accelerating with Block B at a rate of 0.800 m/s2 along a frictionless surface. It suddenly encounters a surface that

Natalija [7]

Answer:

$a=0.6\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the whole description. Considering the applied force is 100 N.

The acceleration of both blocks A and B, $a=0.8\ m/s^2$

Firstly calculating the mass m using the second law of motion as :

F = ma

m is the mass

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}$

$m=\dfrac{100\ N}{0.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 125 kg

It suddenly encounters a surface that supplies 25.0 N a friction, F' = 25 N

$(F-F')=ma$

$(100-25)=125\times a$

$a=\dfrac{75}{125}=0.6\ m/s^2$

So, the new acceleration of the block is $0.6\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

In the great shopping cart race, two students push on shopping carts. A having twice the mass of B, with the same force applied

fiasKO [112]

B. cart B

Explanation:

The acceleration of each cart is given by Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where F is the force applied, a is the acceleration and m is the cart's mass.

The force F applied is the same for the two carts, however the mass of cart A (mA) is twice than the mass of cart B (mB), so we can rewrite the two accelerations:

$a_A = \frac{F}{m_A}=\frac{F}{2 m_B}$

$a_B = \frac{F}{m_B}$

we see that the acceleration of cart B is twice the acceleration of cart A, therefore cart B will move faster and will win the race.
