Define couple and give 2 examples

Answers

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.

A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action. ... For example, the forces that two hands apply to turn a steering wheel are often (or should be) a couple. Each hand grips the wheel at points on opposite sides of the shaft.

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surface of the earth

Answers

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

[tex]g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}[/tex]

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

[tex]g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}[/tex]

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

[tex]r_{P}=2r_{E}[/tex]

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

[tex]g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}[/tex]

Which yields:

[tex]g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}[/tex]

So we can now compare the two gravities:

[tex]\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}[/tex]

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

[tex]\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.

A body weighing 50 N is placed on a wooden table. How much force is required to set it into motion? Coefficient of friction between the table and the body is 0.3.​

Answers

If the coefficient of static friction is 0.3, then the minimum force required to get it moving is equal in magnitude to the maximum static friction that can hold the body in place.

By Newton's second law,

• the net vertical force is 0, since the body doesn't move up or down, and in particular

F = n - mg = n - 50 N = 0   ==>   n = 50 N

where n is the magnitude of the normal force; and

• the net horizontal force is also 0, since static friction keeps the body from moving, with

F = F' - f = F' - µn = F' - 0.3 (50 N) = 0   ==>   F' = 15 N

where F' is the magnitude of the applied force, f is the magnitude of static friction, and µ is the friction coefficient.

Explanation:

Given data

volume  v1=  3m^3

volume  v2=  ???

Temperature T1= 20.0°C.

Temperature T2= 60.0°C.

Applying the relation for temperature and volume

V1/T1= V2/T2

substitute

3/20= V2/60

3*60= V2*20

180= 20*V2

180/20= V2

V2= 9m^3

Hence the final volume is 9m^3

kettles heated on stoves used to be made of copper. was this a good choice?

Answers

Yes, this was a good choice


Hope that helped,


Stay safe happy & healthy!

Kettles heated on stoves are used to be made up of copper. This is because copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Why copper is used in making kettles?

Copper is used in making kettles. This is because copper is an excellent choice for a tea kettle as it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. This means that copper heats up quickly and evenly, making it ideal for the purpose of boiling water and preparing tea. Copper is also a durable material which can last for many years with proper care.

Copper kettles are polished from the outer surface as it is subject to corrosion that is caused by salts and sulfates. If the kettles are not cleaned completely, this corrosion, even as a slight film, will affect the taste of what is prepared in that copper kettle, giving a metallic sensation to taste.

Answers

Answer:

a= 2.5m/s²

Explanation:

U=0

V=90km/hr

T= 10s

Convert 90km/hr to m/s

1km= 1000m

1hr= 3600s

(60×60)

therefore, 90km/hr = 90000/3600

90km/hr= 25m/s

From Newton First Equation,

V=U + AT

25=0+ A(10)

25= 10A

25/10 =10A/10

A cycle travels along a circular track of diameter 42 m. Calculate the distance travelled and the displacement of the cycle in (a) Half round (b)One round.



please explain it to me clearly,its so confusing
i will give brainlist to the one who explains it clearly​

Answers

Answer:

(a) i) The distance travelled by the cycle in half round is approximately 65.97 m

ii) The displacement is 42 m

(b) (i) The distance travelled in one round is approximately 131.95 m

(ii) The displacement of the cycle in one round is 0

Explanation:

The diameter of the track through which the cycle travels, D = 42 m

(a) i) Half round is the motion of half the length of the circular path

The distance travelled by the cycle in half round = The length of half the circular track = (1/2) × π × D

∴ The distance travelled by the cycle in half round = (1/2) × π × 42 m = 21·π m ≈ 65.97 m

ii) The displacement half round = The change in the location of the cycle = The difference between the start and stop locations of the cycle on a straight line after half round

The angle at the center of the circular path the cycle turns in half round  = 180°

Therefore, the path between the start and stop location of the cycle in half round = The diameter of the circular track

The displacement of the cycle in half round = The diameter of the circular track = 42 m

(b) (i) The distance travelled in one round = The perimeter of the circular track = π·D

∴ The distance travelled in one round = π × 42 m ≈ 131.95 m

(ii) The displacement of the cycle in one round = The change in the location of the cycle

The start and stop location of the cycle after moving one round is the same, therefore, there is no change in the location of the cycle.

Therefore we have;

The displacement of the cycle in one round = 0 (no change in location of the cycle)

A shell is fired at an initial speed of 2500 m/s at an initial angle of 45 degrees. Find the shell's horizontal range and the amount of time the shell is in motion. (note that because it is fired from the ground to the ground, they displacement = 0.)

Answers

Answer:

d= 637323 meters

t= 360.5 seconds

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the height from which the shell was fired is the same as the height at which it lands (on the ground, to be specific), we will use the range equation. That is the only time you CAN use the range equation (when the initial height and the final height are exactly the same). The range equation is:

[tex]r=\frac{v_0^2sin(2\theta)}{g}[/tex] where v0 is the initial velocity, theta is the angle, and g is the pull of gravity (NOT negative). Filling in:

[tex]r=\frac{(1500)^2sin(9.0*10^1)}{9.8}[/tex] so, doing all that math gives us:

r = 6.4 × 10⁵ meters

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire

Answers

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing.

Explanation:

(4)

From the diagram,

A = 3+6+2

A = 11 A

V = A₂R

A₂ = V/R₂............ Equation 1

Given: V = 12 V,  R₂ = 4 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

A₂ = 12/4

A₂ = 3 A

(5) Applying,

V = IR'

I = V/R'............ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = cuurent, R' = total resistance.

But,

1/R' = (1/3)+(1/4)

1/R' = (3+4)/12

1/R' = 7/12

R' = 12/7 Ω

Given: V = 12 V

Substitute these values into equation 1

I = 12/(12/7)

I = 7 A

Therefore

A = 7 A

a) What is the momentum of the rifle just after the bullet is fired? 

b) What is the recoil velocity of the rifle?​

Answers

Answer:

Rifle Momentum=7.77kg*m/s v'= 1.554 m/s

Explanation:

a) m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1' + m2v2'

0+0 = 0.03*259 + P(rifle momentum)

solve for P

p= 7.77kg*m/s

b) 7.77= 5*v'

v'= 1.554 m/s

The momentum of the rifle just after the bullet is fired is 7.77 kg.m/s and the recoil velocity of the rifle at the time of firing is 1.554 m/s.

What is momentum?

Momentum of a particle is the product of the mass of the particle and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity. It has both the magnitude and direction of motion. According to the Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of the momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle which is in motion.

Momentum can be calculated by the general formula

p = m.v

where, p = momentum of the particle,

m = mass of the particle,

v = velocity of the particle.

Rifle Momentum= mass × velocity

P = m × v'

a) m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1' + m2v2'

0+0 = 0.03 × 259 + P(rifle momentum)

0 = 7.77 + P

P = 7.77kg.m/s

b) p = m × v

7.77= 5 × v'

v'= 1.554 m/s

The chart shows the speed at which light travels through different media.

In which medium would light have the longest wavelength?
- Water
- Air
- Glass
- Diamond

Answers

Answer:

Air.

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, let us consider the relationship between velocity and the wavelength of a wave. This is illustrated below:

Velocity, wavelength and frequency are related by the following equation:

Velocity = wavelength × frequency

v = λf

From the equation above, we can see clearly that the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength.

This means that an increase in the wavelength will lead to an increase in the velocity and also, a decrease in the wavelength will lead to a decrease in the velocity.

Now, considering the table given in the question above, we can see that the wave has a higher speed in air. This simply means that the wave will also have a higher wavelength in air.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is: air

In uplifting 750 newton load with the help of 2 meter long lever lever took 250 newton efforts . What will be the efficiency of a machine if the fulcrum is kept 50 cm from the load

Answers

Answer:

the efficiency of the machine is 100%

Explanation:

Given;

load, L = 750 N

length of the lever, L = 2 m

effort applied, E = 250 N

Position of the load from the fulcrum,  = 50 cm

                                     50cm

     0↓--------------------------Δ-------------------------------↓---------200 cm

    750 N                                       x cm                 250 N

Apply the principle of moment;

750(50) = 250(x)

x = (750 x 50) / (250)

x = 150 cm

the distance of the effort = 150 cm = 1.5 m

the distance of the load = 50 cm = 0.5 m

The velocity ratio of the machine = 1.5/0.5

                                                        = 3

The mechanical advantage of the machine is calculated as;

M.A = Load/effort

M.A = 750 / 250

M.A = 3

The efficiency of the machine is calculated as;

E = (M.A / V.R) x 100%

E = (3/3) x 100% = 100%

Therefore, the efficiency of the machine is 100%
