If the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm.

The given parameters:

Weight of the ruler = 1 N

<h3>What is center of gravity (CG)?</h3>

Center of gravity is the point at which the weight of an object is concentrated.

Let the length of the ruler = L

The center of the gravity of the ruler is calculated as follows;

$X_{CG} = \frac{W(L_0) + W(L -X_{CG})}{W} \\\\X_{CG} = \frac{1(0) + 1(L -X_{CG})}{1}\\\\X_{CG} = L - X_{CG}\\\\X_{CG } + X_{CG} = L\\\\2X_{CG} = L\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{L}{2} \\\\when , \ L = 50 \ cm\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{50}{2} \\\\X_{CG} = 25 \ cm$

Thus, if the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm. This may change if the length of the ruler changes because the center of gravity of uniform ruler depends on the length of the ruler.

A physicist does 100 joules of work on a simple machine that raise a box of bioks through a heigjt of 0.2metres. if the efficien

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the physicist,w = 100 J

height through which the book is raised, h = 0.2 m

efficiency of machine = 60% = 0.6

The useful work done by the machine is calculated as;

useful work = 0.6 x 100 = 60 J

The wasted energy = 100 J - 60 J

The wasted energy = 40 J

The wasted energy by the machine is possibly converted to thermal energy by the frictional part of the machine.

Therefore, the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the stri

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

T = 8.55 N

Explanation:

When string makes an angle 40 degree with the vertical then it will have two forces on it

1) gravitational force (mg)

2) Tension force in string (T)

now we know that net force towards the center of the path is known as centripetal force and it is given as

$T - mg cos40 = F_c$

$T - (0.40\times 9.8)cos40 = \frac{mv^2}{L}$

$T = 3 + \frac{0.40\times 5^2}{1.8}$

$T = 3 + 5.55$

$T = 8.55 N$

In a physics lab experiment for the determination of moment of inertia, a team weighs an object and finds a mass of 2.15 kg. The

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

0.339 kgm²

Explanation:

We know the period of this pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of the object about the pivot axis, m = mass of object = 2.15 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of center of mass of object from pivot point = 0.163 m.

Since T = 2π√(I/mgh), making I subject of the formula, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

Now since it takes 241 s to complete 113 cycles, then it takes 241 s/113 cycles to complete one cycle.

So, T = 241 s/113 = 2.133 s

So, Substituting the values of the variables into I, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

I = 2.15 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.163 m × (2.133 s)²/4π²

I = 15.63/4π² kgm²

I = 0.396 kgm²

Now from the parallel axis theorem, I = I' + mh² where I' = moment of inertia of object with respect to its center of mass about an axis parallel to the pivot axis

I' = I - mh²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 2.15 kg × (0.163 m)²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 0.057 kgm²

I' = 0.339 kgm²
