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

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The value is $E_i = 1.5596 *10^{-18} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 48.2 nm = 48.2 *10^{- 9 }\ m$

The velocity is $v = 2.371*10^6 \ m/s$

The mass of electron is $m_e = 9.109*10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally the energy of the incident light is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{h * c}{\lambda}$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

h is the Planck constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34 } J\cdot s$

$E = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34 }* 3.0 *10^{8}}{48.2 *10^{- 9 }}$

=> $E = 4.12 *10^{-18} \ J$

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} * m_e * v^2$

=> $E_k = \frac{1}{2} * 9.109*10^{-31} * (2.371*10^6 )^2$

=> $E_k = 2.56 *0^{-18} \ J$

Generally the ionization energy is mathematically represented as

$E_i = 4.12 *10^{-18} - 2.56 *0^{-18}$

=> $E_i = 1.5596 *10^{-18} \ J$

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

the stars which are red in color are cool.

Explanation:

The stars which has reddish color are cool in nature while those stars which has white and blue in color are very hot in nature. The stars change its color when they becomes hotter , first the star color reddish when they are cool but with increasing temperature it changes the color from reddish to orange then yellow. After yellow it turns green and finally get blue color when the stars are very very hot.

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A feather is less dense and thus less force exerted while a rock is very dense thus exerting more force .
