Define and explain the Police Power

Physics
1 answer:
Allushta [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Police powers are the fundamental ability of a government to enact laws to coerce its citizenry for the public good, although the term eludes an exact definition. The term does not directly relate to the common connotation of police as officers charged with maintaining public order, but rather to broad governmental regulatory power. Berman v. Parker, a 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case, stated that “public safety, public health, morality, peace and quiet, law and order. . . are some of the more conspicuous examples of the traditional application of the police power”; while recognizing that “an attempt to define police powers reach or trace its outer limits is fruitless.”

A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward fo
kicyunya [14]

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:

∑ τ = 0

Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:

• at the left end,

τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m

• at the right end,

τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m

• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,

τ = + (300 N) d

Then

∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0

⇒   (300 N) d = 1100 N•m

⇒   d ≈ 3.7 m

Ber [7]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 20 m/s

vf = 60 m/s

t = 4 second.

Formula

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (60 - 20)/4

a = 40 / 4

a = 10 m/s^2

How many chicken feet hatch from 3 dozen eggs? Explain.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: I think it would be 72 because 12x3=36 and then all the chick have 2 feet each so you would multiply t but 2 and that would be 72
