Two beakers contain water at room temperature. One contains 200ml, the other 400ml. If both beakers are heated above identical Bunsen burners, which of the two will take longer to boil?

The equation dQ = mcdT tells us how the temperature of an object changes when heat energy dQ is added. In this case the specific heat capacity c is the same for the contents of both beakers since...

A 4 metre long bar rotates freely around a central pivot. 3 forces act upon it: 7N down, 2m to the left of the pivot; 8N up, 1m to the left of the pivot; 4N up, 1m to the right of the pivot. Apply one additional force to place the bar in equilibrium.

Begin by calculating the current force and moment of the bar.Force: 8+4-7=5 (or vice versa)Moment: 72= 14 Nm anticlockwise 81= 8 Nm clockwise 4*1= 4 Nm anticlockwiseSum calculated moments: 14+4-8...

Calculate the flight time of a ball moving in parabolic motion, with initial velocity 5.0m/s at angle 30 degrees from the horizontal travelling for 23 metres.

First, you would resolve the initial velocity into horizontal and vertical velocity. Then, using the correct suvat equation, s=ut, you can calculate for t. In this case, t=4.0s to 2 significan figures.

what force does a person have to exert on one side of a seesaw if the other person weighs 70kg and is the same distance away from the pivot (2m) on the other side of the seesaw?

70kg x 9.8 = 686N x 2 = 1372 Nm, as 2m away again, divide by 2 = 868 Newtons

Why does a change in depth in water give a far greater difference in pressure than the same change in height in air?

Begin by explain that pressure is described by the amount of force exerted on a given area (N/m2). The force in this equation is given by the weight of everything directly above the point you a...
