The weight of the other object placed 1 m from the fulcrum that balances the other object is 2.5 N.

<h3>Principle of moment</h3>

The weight of the second object is determined by applying principle of moment as shown below;

take moment about the pivot,

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment

F₁r₁ = F₂r₂

5 x 0.5 = F₂ x 1

2.5 N = F₂

Thus, the weight of the other object placed 1 m from the fulcrum that balances the other object is 2.5 N.

jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

10 N

Explanation:

F = ma = m(Δv/t) = 5.0(10.0 - 0)/5.0 = 10 N

Explain what causes acid rain to form and its negative effects on living and nonliving things.
OLga [1]
What causes it to form: <span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Human activities, power plants, and exhaust from vehicles all are causes.</span>
Affects on living things-
Acid rain can kill trees
It can affect plant growth patterns
Toxins can kill animals
Nonliving things- 
It can decay building materials and paints
it breaks down rocks
