Where is the fulcrum of a broom?

2 answers:

8 0

It's one of your hands. Which one it is depends on how you sweep.

-- If you hold the top of the stick motionless and wave your bottom hand
back and forth, then your top hand is the fulcrum, and you're using the
broom as a Class-3 lever.

-- If you hold your bottom hand motionless and wiggle the top end of the
broom back and forth with your top hand, then your lower hand is the fulcrum,
and you're using the broom as a Class-1 lever.

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?

Alisiya [41]

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
$\Delta V = I R$
where
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and $R=330 \omega$ , so the potential difference is
$\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V$

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is " $1.01 \times 10^{-13}$ "

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

$KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\$

Calculating the closest distance:

$\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\$

$=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\$

$=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}$

What two measurements are needed to determine density?

g100num [7]

Density is defined as (mass) per unit (volume). So in order to calculate
the density of a glob of some substance, you pretty much have to measure
its mass and its volume.
