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.

How high can a body vertically thrown with a speed of 40m/s raise after 3 sec (neglecting air
Tcecarenko [31]

y = 75.9 m

Explanation:

y = -(1/2)gt^2 + v0yt + y0

If we put the origin of our coordinate system at the point where a body is launched, then y0 = 0.

y = -(1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2 + (40 m/s)(3 s)

= -44.1 m + 120 m

= 75.9

A 2.00-kg object A is connected with a massless string across a massless, frictionless pulley to a 3.00-kg object B. Object A re
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  • tension: 19.3 N
  • acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  mass A = 2.0 kg

  mass B = 3.0 kg

  θ = 40°

<u>Find</u>

  The tension in the string

  The acceleration of the masses

<u>Solution</u>

Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...

  F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N

Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...

  F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N

The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:

  F/m = a = F/m

  (T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)

  T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N

__

Then the acceleration of B is ...

  a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2

The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.

A 10 kg brick and a 1 kg book are dropped in a vacuum. The force of gravity on the 10 kg brick is what?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>

Several light bulbs, each of resistance 1.5 Ω, are connected in a series across a 120 V source of emf. If the current through th
Leni [432]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

40 light bulbs

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The total resistance of components or bulbs in series is given as the sum of resistance of all the components.

Thus; if there are bulbs in series each with a resistance of 1.5 Ω, the the total resistance will be; 1.5nΩ

From the ohms law;

V = IR , where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistor.

Thus; R = V/i

         R = 120/2

            = 60 Ω

But, there are n bulbs each with 1.5 Ω; thus there are;

n = 60/1.5

<u>  = 40 Bulbs </u>
