Refer to the diagram shown below.
The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.
The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N
The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N
The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.
For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m
Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.
Answer:
- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only
- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward
There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:
- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.
- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

Explanation:
From the exercise we have that
<em><u>To find how far from the edge of the piano does the cat strike the floor, we need to calculate its time first </u></em>
At the end of the motion y=0m
Solving for t
or
Since the <u>time</u> can't be negative the answer is t=0.73
Knowing that we can calculate how far does the cat strike the floor

Answer:
Sound wave X amplitude is greater than 'A' and its frequency is lesser than
'f'
Explanation:
The pitch of a sound is dictated by the frequency of the sound wave, while the loudness is dictated by the amplitude.
A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency.
The larger the amplitude of the waves, the louder the sound and vice-versa.
From the question,
Sound wave W has amplitude ‘A' and frequency 'f' and
Sound wave X is louder and lower in pitch than sound wave W.
Since sound wave X is louder, this means its amplitude is greater than 'A'.
Also, since sound wave X is lower in pitch, this means its frequency is lesser than 'f'.
