I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.
Distance = Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m
Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
Answer:
Pressure (P) is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/
(newtons per meter squared).
Answer:
c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction
Explanation:
When the box finally does break loose. Then the component of the box weight which is parallel to the board weight parallel component, is equal to the 
.
For the box to acce;erate thee must be non-zero net force acting on the box parallel to the board. Or we can say,
Therefore the force of kinetic friction must be less than the force of static friction. Thus,
