Two boxes on opposite ends of a massless board that is 3.0 m long. The board is supported in the middle by a fulcrum. The box on the left has a mass (m1) of 25 kg, and the box on the right has a mass (m2) of 15kg. How far should the fulcrum be positioned from the left side of the board in order to balance the masses horizontally?
a. 0.38 m
b. 1.1 m
c. 0.60 m
d. 1.9 m
Answer:
b. 1.1 m
Explanation:
It is given that the total distance between the masses is equal to the length of the board, which is 3 m. Therefore,
[tex]s_{1} + s_{2} = 3\ m\\\\s_{2} = 3\ m - s_{1}\ --------- eqn(1)[/tex]
where,
s₁ = distance of fulcrum from left mass
s₂ = distance of fulcrum from right mass
In order to achieve balance, the torque due to both masses must be equal:
[tex]T_{1} = T_{2}\\m_{1}s_{1} = m_{2}s_{2}\\(25\ kg)(s_{1}) = (15\ kg)(s_{2})\\\\\frac{15\ kg}{25\ kg}(s_{2}) = s_{1}\\\\using\ eqn(1):\\(0.6)(3\ m - s_{1}) = s_{1}\\1.8\ m = 1.6\ s_{1}\\s_{1} = \frac{1.8\ m}{1.6}[/tex]
s₁ = 1.1 m
Hence, the correct option is:
b. 1.1 m
A vertical piston-cylinder device contains a gas at a pressure of 100 kPa. The piston has a mass of 10 kg and a diameter for 14 cm. Pressure of the gas is to be increased by placing some weights on the piston. Determine the local atmospheric pressure and the mass of the weights that will doublethe pressure of the gas inside the cylinder.
Answer:
the local atmospheric pressure is 93.63 kPa
the mass of the weights is 156.9 kg
Explanation:
Given that;
Initial pressure of gas = 100 kPa
mass of piston = 10 kg and diameter = 14 cm = 0.14 m
g = 9.81 m/s²
Now,
P_gas = P_atm + P_piston
100 = P_atm + P_piston --------- let this equation 1
P_piston = M_piston × g / A = (10 × 9.81) / π/4×d²
P_piston = 98.1 / (π/4×( 0.14 )²)
P_piston = 98.1 / 0.01539 = 6374,269 Pa = 6.37 kPa
now, from equation 1
100 = P_atm + P_piston
we substitute
100 = P_atm + 6.37
P_atm = 100 - 6.37
P_atm = 93.63 kPa
Therefore, the local atmospheric pressure is 93.63 kPa
Now for pressure of the gas in the cylinder ⇒ 2×initial pressure
Pgas_2 = 2 × 100 = 200 kPa
Pgas_2 = P_atm + P_piston + P_weight
Pgas_2 = P_gas + P_weight
we substitute
200 kPa = 100 kPa + P_weight
P_weight = 200 kPa - 100 kPa
P_weight = 100 kPa = 100,000 Pa
Also;
P_weight = M×g / A
100,000 Pa = ( M × 9.81 ) / (π/4 × (0.14)²)
100,000 × 0.01539 = M × 9.81
1539 = M × 9.81
M = 1539 / 9.81
M = 156.9 kg
Therefore, the mass of the weights is 156.9 kg

Your destroyer has a RADAR antenna height of 40 m. Using RADAR, what is the maximum detection range of a patrol boat with a mast height of 11 m above the water?
Answer:
The maximum detection range is 39.75 km
Explanation:
Given that;
Antenna height h1 = 40 m
Target height ( patrol boat mast ) h2 = 11 m
Using RADAR, what is the maximum detection range = ?
Using RADAR
we know that; Maximum detection range = (√17h1 + √17h2) km
where h1 and h2 are heights of the antenna and target height in meters
so we substitute in our values
Maximum detection range = (√(17 × 40) + √(17 × 11)) km
Maximum detection range = (√680 + √187) km
Maximum detection range = (26.0768 + 13.6747) km
Maximum detection range = (26.0768 + 13.6747) km
Maximum detection range = 39.75 km
Therefore, The maximum detection range is 39.75 km

Answer:
C. Is traveling on a curve in the road
Hope this helps :3
The pick up truck has a changing velocity because, it is travelling on a curve in the road. A change in direction results in its change in velocity because, velocity is a vector quantity.
What is velocity ?Velocity is a physical quantity that measures the distance covered by an object per unit time. It is a vector quantity, thus having magnitude as well direction.
The rate of change in velocity is called acceleration of the object. Like velocity, acceleration also is a vector quantity. Thus, a change in magnitude or direction or change in both for velocity make the object to accelerate.
Here, all the three vehicles are travelling with the same velocity. But, the truck is moving to a curve on the road. The curvature in the path will make a change in its velocity.

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a particle of mass 1.40 gg be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed electric field of magnitude 640 N/CN/C
Answer:
the charge of the particle is -2.144 x 10⁻⁵ C.
Explanation:
The force acting on the particle is calculated as;
F = EQ = mg
[tex]Q = \frac{mg}{E}[/tex]
where;
Q is magnitude of the charge of the particle
[tex]Q = \frac{(1.4\times 10^{-3})(9.8)}{640} \\\\Q = 2.144 \ \times \ 10^{-5} \ C[/tex]
since the magnetic field is acting downward, the force must be acting upward in opposite direction.
Thus, the charge of the particle will be -2.144 x 10⁻⁵ C.

Earth has a mass of 5.98 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 106 m. Assume it is a uniform solid sphere. The distance of Earth from the Sun is 1.50 1011 m. (Assume Earth completes a single rotation in 24.0 hours and orbits the Sun once every 365 Earth days.) (a) What is the rotational kinetic energy of Earth on its axis
Answer:
Explanation
Rotational kinetic energy of the earth = 1/2 Iω²
where I is moment of inertia of the earth and ω is angular velocity .
I = 2/5 m R² , m is mass and R is radius of the earth .
I = 2/5 x 5.98 x 10²⁴ x ( 6.38 x 10⁶ )²
=97.36 x 10³⁶
ω = 1 / T
T = 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400 s
ω = 1 / 86400
= 11.57 x 10⁻⁶ rad / s
Rotational Kinetic energy = 1/2 Iω²
= .5 x 97.36 x 10³⁶ x (11.57 x 10⁻⁶ )²
= 6516.54 x 10²⁴ J

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 5.12-V battery and charges up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, and the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled. As a result of this change, what is the new voltage between the plates of the capacitor
Answer:
V₂ = 2* V₁ = 10.24 V
Explanation:
By definition, the capacitance is given by the following relationship between the charge on one of the plates (for a parallel plate capacitor) and the voltage between them:[tex]C = \frac{Q}{V} (1)[/tex]
Applying (1) to the capacitor, once fully charged and disconnected from the battery, V = V₁ = 5.12 V.Now, we know that for a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance is independent from the voltage applied, as follows:[tex]C = \frac{\epsilon_{0} * A}{d} (2)[/tex]
where ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² F/m, A is the area of one of the plates, and d is the spacing between plates.If we double the spacing between the plates d, the capacitance will be reduced to half, due to d₂ = 2* d₁Once disconnected from the battery, due to the principle of conservation of the charge, the charge Q must remain constant, i.e.,Q₁ = Q₂ = Q
Since the only variable that can be modified is the voltage V, if the capacitance reduces to the half of the original value, the voltage must be doubled in order to keep C₂ = C₁/2, true.⇒ Q/V₂ = Q/V₁ * 1/2 ⇒ V₂ = 2* V₁ = 2* 5.12 V = 10.24 V
A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 20.0 m/sm/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/sm/s passes the police car. The driver of the SUV suspects he may be exceeding the speed limit, so just as he passes the police car he lets the SUV slow down at a constant 1.90 m/s2m/s2. How much time elapses from when the SUV passes the police car to when the police car passes the SUV
Answer:
elapsed time is 10.53 sec
Explanation:
Given that;
velocity of the car [tex]V_{P}[/tex] = 20.0m/s
Initial velocity of the SUV [tex]U_{suv}[/tex] = 30.0 m/s
SUV slow down at a constant a = 1.90 m/s²
Now, Let Vs represent the final velocity of the SUV and after time t when the police can cross it and d represent the distance both of the cars covers between the two crossing
so;
d = [tex]V_{P}[/tex] × t
also d = [tex]U_{suv}[/tex] t - 1/2 at²
so
[tex]V_{P}[/tex] × t = [tex]U_{suv}[/tex] t - 1/2 at²
we substitute
20 × t = 30 × t - 1/2 × 1.9 × t²
20t = 30t - 1/2 × 1.9 × t²
1/2 × 1.9 × t² = 30t - 20t
1/2 × 1/9 × t² = 10t
t = 2 × 10 / 1.9 ( as t ≠ 0 )
t = 20 / 1.9
t = 10.53 sec
Therefore, elapsed time is 10.53 sec

An 8.0-kg object moving with an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s on a surface comes to rest due to friction after it travels a horizontal distance of 11 m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface
Answer:
μk = 0.3
Explanation:
According the work-energy theorem, the net work done on an object, is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object.In this case, assuming that the object was not accelerating when moving at 8.0 m/s, the only force doing work on it, is the kinetic friction force, acting through the 11 m distance before causing the object to come to rest.The kinetic friction force, is given by the following expression:[tex]f_{frk} = \mu_{k} * F_{n} (1)[/tex]
where μk = coefficient of kinetic friction, Fn = normal force.Assuming that the surface is horizontal, since the normal force is always perpendicular to the surface, and the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction, this means that the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force that gravity exerts on the object, as follows:[tex]F_{n} = m*g (2)[/tex]
The friction force and the horizontal displacement produced by it have opposite directions, so the angle between the force and the displacement is 180º.So, we can express the work done by the kinetic friction force, as follows:[tex]W_{ffr} = -F_{fr} * d = - \mu_{k}* m*g*d (3)[/tex]
We have already said that (3) must be equal to the change in the kinetic energy, ΔK, as follows:[tex]\Delta K = K_{f} - K_{o} (4)[/tex]
Since the object comes to rest, Kf = 0.Replacing K₀ = 1/2*m*v₀² in (4), we have:[tex]\Delta K = 0 - \frac{1}{2} *m * v_{o} ^{2} = - \frac{1}{2} *m * v_{o} ^{2} (5)[/tex]
From (3) and (5), since they are equal each other, we get:[tex]W_{ffr} = \mu_{k}* g*d = \frac{1}{2} * v_{o} ^{2} (6)[/tex]
Replacing by the givens, and solving for μk, we get:[tex]\mu_{k} = \frac{1}{2} * v_{o} ^{2} *\frac{1}{g*d} =\frac{(8.0m/s)^{2}}{2*9.8m/s2*11m} = 0.3 (7)[/tex]

a plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8,000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B with a velocity of 10,000 m/s north. Which is the plane's acceleration from A to B ?
Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time for the change)
Change in velocity = (ending velocity) - (starting velocity)
Change in the plane's velocity = (10,000 m/s north) - (8,000 m/s north)
Change in the plane's velocity = 2,000 m/s north
Time for the change = 40 seconds
Acceleration = (2,000 m/s north) / (40 seconds)
Acceleration = 50 m/s² north
The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 628 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive plate, and an electron is held stationary at the negative plate. The plate separation is 4.22 cm. At the same moment, both particles are released.
A. Calculate the distance (in cm) from the positive plate at which the two pass each other.
B. Repeat part (a) for a sodlum lon (Nat) and a chlorlde lon (CI).
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
Data Given:
Electric Field between two parallel plates = 628 N/C
Separation = 4.22 cm
a) In this part, we are asked to calculate the distance from positive plate at which the electron and proton pass each other.
Solution:
First of all:
Force on proton due to the Electric field between the plates is:
[tex]F_{p}[/tex] = [tex]q_{p}[/tex]E
and, we know that, F = ma
So,
[tex]m_{p}[/tex]a = [tex]q_{p}[/tex]E
a = [tex]\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }[/tex] Equation 1
So,
The distance covered by the electron is:
S = ut + 1/2[tex]at^{2}[/tex]
Here, u = 0.
S = 1/2[tex]at^{2}[/tex]
Put equation 1 into the above equation:
S = 1/2 x ([tex]\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }[/tex] )[tex]t^{2}[/tex] Equation 2
So,
Similarly, the distance covered by electron will be:
(D-S) = 1/2 x ([tex]\frac{q_{e}.E }{m_{e} }[/tex] )[tex]t^{2}[/tex] Equation 3
We know that the charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton so,
[tex]q_{p}[/tex] = [tex]q_{e}[/tex] = q
By dividing the equation 2 by equation 3, we get:
[tex]\frac{S}{D-S}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{m_{e} }{m_{p} }[/tex]
Solve the above equation for S,
S[tex]m_{p}[/tex] = [tex]m_{e}[/tex]D - [tex]m_{e}[/tex]S
So,
S = [tex]\frac{m_{e}.D }{(m_{e} + m_{p}) }[/tex]
Plugging in the values,
As we know the mass of electron is 9.1 x [tex]10^{-31}[/tex] and the mass of proton is 1.67 x [tex]10^{-27}[/tex]
S = [tex]\frac{9.1 . 10^{-31} . 4.22 }{(9.1 . 10^{-31} + 1.67 . 10^{-27} }[/tex]
S = 0.002298 cm (Distance from the positive plate at which the two pass each other)
b) In this part, we to calculate distance for Sodium ion and chloride ion as above.
So,
we already have the equation, we need to put the values in it.
So,
S = [tex]\frac{m_{Cl}.D }{(m_{Cl} + m_{Na}) }[/tex]
As we know the mass of chlorine is 35.5 and of sodium is 23
S = [tex]\frac{35.5 . 4.22}{(35.5 + 23)}[/tex]
S = 2.56 cm
