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

Sidana [21]

The greatest variation in size, mass, and luminosity occurs in elliptical galaxies.

<h3>What is Variation?</h3>

This is defined as the difference from the norm which is exhibited by objects.

In the solar system, variation in features such as size, mass, and luminosity occurs mostly in elliptical galaxies due to presence of array of stars thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

A massless string connects a 10.00 kg mass to a 13.00 kg cart which is resting on a frictionless horizontal surface. The mass ha
ch4aika [34]

The cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration of the cart</h3>

The acceleration of the cart is determined from the net force acting on the mass-cart system.

Upward force = Downward force

ma = mg

13a = 10(9.8)

13a = 98

a = 98/13

a = 7.54 m/s²

Thus, the cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².

what is the difference between stirring hot soup with a wooden spoon and a metal spoon? what physical property is being observed
AnnyKZ [126]

Wooden spoons don't quickly heat to hot temperatures not nearly as fast as metal does. Metal conducts heat faster than wood — if the head of the spoon is in a hot liquid, the handle will get hot faster if it's made out of a metal.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The water is stored in ice sheets and as snow

Explanation:

Temperature reduces with an increase in altitudes. The standard laps rate is 6.5°C per 1,000 m gained in elevation

At very high elevations, therefore,  the air is usually very cold such that when an elevation of 4,500 meters is reached at the equator, it is possible to observe snowfall and the water remain temporarily stored on the surface of the mountain as ice and snow
