The net torque on the seesaw is 294 Nm.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the force that tends to rotate the body to which it was applied.

To calculate the net torque, we use the formula below

Formula:

τ = mgd-m'gd'........... Equation 1

Where:

τ = Net torque

m = Jenny's mass
m' = Tom's mass
d = Jenny's distance from the pivot
d' = Tom's distance from the pivot
g = acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given:

m = 40 kg
m' = 30 kg
d = 1.5 m
d' = 1 m
g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

τ = (40×1.5×9.8)-(30×1×9.8)
τ = 588-294
τ = 294 Nm

Hence, The net torque on the seesaw is 294 Nm.

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$1979.99974\ N/C$

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Volume charge density is given by

$\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density for the sphere is $2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C$

The magnitude of the electric field is $1979.99974\ N/C$

A piano wire has a tension of 650 N and a mass per unit length of 0.060 g/cm. What is the speed of waves on this wire

Trava [24]

Answer:

The speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

tension of the wire, T = 650 N

mass per unit length, μ = 0.06 g /cm = 0.006 kg/m

(convert the unit of mass per length in g/cm to kg/m by dividing by 10 = 0.06 / 10 = 0.006 kg/m)

The speed of waves on this wire is given as;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{650}{0.006} }\\\\v = 329.14 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

To calibrate your calorimeter cup, you first put 45 mL of cold water in the cup, and measure its temperature to be 24.7 °C. You

drek231 [11]

Answer : The heat change of the cold water in Joules is, $1.6\times 10^3J$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of cold water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. The volume of cold water is 45 mL.

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$Mass=Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 45mL=45g$

Now we have to calculate the heat change of cold water.

Formula used :

$Q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)$

where,

Q = heat change of cold water = ?

m = mass of cold water = 45 g

c = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of cold water = $24.7^oC$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $33.4^oC$

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$Q=45g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (33.4-24.7)^oC$

$Q=1638.036J=1.6\times 10^3J$

Therefore, the heat change of cold water is $1.6\times 10^3J$

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 0.550-kg projectile flying with 335 m/s, 72 meters above the ground?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

GPE = 388.08 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.550kg

Speed = 335 m/s

Height = 72 meters

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s²

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

$G.P.E = mgh$

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$G.P.E = 0.550 * 9.8 * 72$

GPE = 388.08 Joules.
