although the pivot exerts a force on the ruler it does not exert a torque with respect to the pivot point. why not?

Physics

Answer:

The situation is not shown, however if one calculates torques about the pivot point, then the pivot point itself exerts no torque because the force applied by the pivot point exerts zero torque because Fp * L = 0 where L = 0 in this case.

If one wants to calculate torques about, say, the end of the ruler then one would need to calculate the torque applied by the pivot point.

When a bow is stretched it stores 10j and the arrows mass is 50g as it is projected show that the arrow has a speed of 20m/s
asambeis [7]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

The stored energy is transformed to kinetic energy and since kinetic energy is given by

0.5mv^{2}

where m is the mass of arrow in Kg and v is the velocity of the arrow in m/s. From the principle of energy, all the energy is transformed to KE.

KE= Energy stored in bow

Changing mass from 50 g to Kg we divide by 1000 hence m=50/1000=0.05 Kg

Substituting 0.05 Kg for m and 10 J for KE then we have

0.5\times 0.05\times v^{2}=10 J

Making v the subject of the formula then

v=\sqrt {\frac {10 J}{0.5\times 0.05 Kg}}=20\ m/s

Therefore, the velocity is equivalent to 20 m/s

You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=40\ kg

Height to which it is raised is, h=2\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N. Now,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.

a rock is vertically upward with a velocity of 10 m/s. calculate the maximum height it reaches and time taken to reach that heig
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

maximum height: p(t) = Vo * t - 1/2 * g * t^2

p’(t) = v(t) = 0 = Vo - g*t. So, maximum height occurs when t = Vo / g

p(Vo / g) = Vo^2/g - 1/2 * g * (Vo/g)^2

Vo = 10 m / s. Let’s approximate g = 10 m / s^2

p(Vo / g) = 10^2 / 10 - 1/2 * 10 * (10/10)^2 = 10 - 5 = 5 meters (approximately)

Calculation of time:

v = u + gt

0 = 10√2 + (-10)t

-10√2 = -10t

2 = √2s

The image shows how Earth orbits the Sun. Points W and X are the same distance from the Sun.
Ksju [112]

<u>Answer:</u>


This figure shows the Second Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion, <em>The line that joins the planet with the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal times</em>.  

According to this statement, the only way in which this is fulfilled is that the planet moves faster when it is <u>near the sun (perihelion)</u> and moves slower when it is <u>far from the Sun (aphelion</u>).

In the image shown, if points W and X are at the same distance to the Sun, this means the instantaneous velocity of the planet in both points is the same.
