The broom handle that she have to balance if she hung a 400g mass from the end of the broom handle is 5.24m

This problem is centered on moment. Moment is the turning effect of a force about a point. It is expressed as:

Moment = Force× Distance

According to principle of moment, the sum of clockwise moment is equal to sum of anticlockwise moment at shown

M1d1 = M2d2

Given the following

M1 = 1.5kg

d1 = 1.4m

M2 = 400g = 0.4kg

d2 is required

Substitute

1.5(1.4) = 0.4d2

2.1 = 0.4d2

d2 = 2.1/0.4

d2 = 5.24m

Hence the broom handle that she have to  if she hung a 400g mass from the end of the broom handle is 5.24m

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?
valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point
makvit [3.9K]
To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.

You find a micrometer (a tool used to
MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.

Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of  precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.

A 5000 g toy car starts from rest and moves a distance of 300 cm in 3 s under the action of a single constant force. Determine t
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

3.33 N

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration.

Given:

Δx = 3 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 3 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

3 m = (0 m/s) (3 s) + ½ a (3 s)²

a = ⅔ m/s²

Use Newton's second law to find the force.

F = ma

F = (5 kg) (⅔ m/s²)

F ≈ 3.33 N
