If the weight of the ruler is one Newton ,Gc cannot have a value more than 25cm

Physics

If the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm.

The given parameters:

  • Weight of the ruler = 1 N

<h3>What is center of gravity (CG)?</h3>
  • Center of gravity is the point at which the weight of an object is concentrated.

Let the length of the ruler = L

The center of the gravity of the ruler is calculated as follows;

X_{CG} = \frac{W(L_0) + W(L -X_{CG})}{W} \\\\X_{CG} = \frac{1(0) + 1(L -X_{CG})}{1}\\\\X_{CG} = L - X_{CG}\\\\X_{CG } + X_{CG} = L\\\\2X_{CG} = L\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{L}{2} \\\\when , \ L = 50 \ cm\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{50}{2} \\\\X_{CG} = 25 \ cm

Thus, if the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm. This may change if the length of the ruler changes because the center of gravity of uniform ruler depends on the length of the ruler.

A package of mass 5 kg sits on an airless asteroid of mass 7.6 × 1020 kg and radius 8.0 × 105 m. We want to launch the package i
Effectus [21]

Answer:

s =  1.7 m

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

Mass of package (m) = 5 kg

mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg

radius = 8 x 10^5 m

velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s

spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m

compression (s) = ?

Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore  

• Ei = Ef

• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system

• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}

• Ef = kinetic energy of the object

• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• s = \sqrt{\frac{m}[k}(v^{2}+\frac{2GM}{r})}

s = \sqrt{\frac{5}[2.8 x 10^5}(170^{2}+\frac{2 x 6.67 x10^{-11} x 7.6 x 10^{20}}{8 x 10^5})}

s =  1.7 m

Which of the following is NOT NECESSARILY a property of an air mass?
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

a

The property of air mass include

1) it must be large.

2) it must have relatively uniform properties.

3)it must travel as a recognizable entity.

It must have a warm front at its leading edge, is not necessarily a property of an air mass because Not all air masses have a warm front at their leading edge. There are five types of air masses and different types of the front can be developed.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Its velocity and acceleration are both nonzero.

Explanation:

The path of the wrench is trajectory while the acceleration due to Moon's gravity is acting on it.

As the velocity follows the path, as soon as it reaches maximum height, the vertical component of velocity is zero but the horizontal component is still there, constant.
