Answer:1) 100 gm mass should be placed at 95 cm mark.
2) Mass of 112.5 gm should be placed at 90 cm mark.
Explanation:
For equilibrium of the meter stick the sum of the moment's generated by the masses should be equal and opposite
Answer to part b)
Since a meter stick is 100 cm long and it is pivoted at it's center i.e at 50 cm
Thus
1) Moment generated by 100 gm mass about center =
Let a mass 'm' be placed at 90 cm mark thus moment it generates equals
Equating both the moments we get
Answer to part a)
Let the 100 grams weight be placed at a distance 'x' right of center
Moment generated by 100 grams weight equals
equating the moments of the forces we get
thus the mass of 100 gm should be placed at 95 cm mark in the scale.
Answer: representative sample
Explanation:
A representative sample can be defined as a subset of the population. This sample includes subgroups that reflect the features of the larger group and are chosen for a specific purpose of study. For example, a classroom with 60 students having 30 females and 30 males, can generate a representative sample based on the gender differences.
Catalysts are used in the oil industry to increase octane
ratings in gasoline. Octane ratings tell how much fuel has to be compressed to
promote better fuel ignition in some
cars. The catalytic effect that
would be most beneficial for the oil industry is that more products can be
formed from a given amount of material.
P=mv. So doubling the velocity doubles the momentum. (Doubling the mass alone would do the same thing. Doubling both would then quadruple it)
There's not enough information to find an answer.
I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.
