You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.47 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.271 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down? 


acorn's height: _______m

A meter stick on a horizontal frictionless table top is pivoted at the 80-cm mark. A force F1 = 5 N is applied perpendicularly to the end of the stick at 0 cm, as shown. A second force F2 (not shown) is applied at the 100-cm end of the stick. The stick does not rotate. a) What is the torque (magnitude and sign) about the pivot from F1? b) Explain why the torque from the pivot about itself is zero....

(b) What if the stick is perpendicular to v? (c)What if the stick is at to v, as seen in the stick’s rest frame?

A) During a lab, a meter stick was used at static equilibrium (the net torque was stationary and non-rotating objects are zero) to determine the masses or unknown distances for objects suspended from the meter stick. The total forces exerted at each location along the meter stick were factored in to find the total mass of the slotted masses, the mass hanger, and the clip that was attached to the meter stick. The one mass that did not have to...
