A professor's office door is 0.86 mm wide, 2.0 mm high, and 4.0 cmcm thick; has a mass of 25 kgkg ; and pivots on frictionless hinges. A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 5.5 N x m. What is the least force that you need to apply to the door to hold it open?

We all use gps today, even if we don't drive yet. i bet you have been in the car with a parent and they have asked you to get out your phone to find a specific location. in your car, on the phone, you are using a very sophisticated technology. gps satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. gps receivers take this information and use trilateration to calculate the user's exact location. essentially, the gps receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. the time difference tells the gps receiver how far away the satellite is. now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map. what type of signal is utilized by the gps satellite?

Which type of circuit is becoming more common in residential electrical design and construction? a. hazardous-area circuit b. three-phase circuit c. 480-volt circuit d. communication circuit

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?
