Step 1

Get a big plastic tank filled with water. You can use an industrial sized barrel, storage tank or some sort of above ground pool.

Step 2

Take a large board, wide enough to fit across the tank, and cut out a rectangular piece from the middle for the seat.

Step 3

Attach the seat back into the support board with heavy duty hinges at the back so that it can swing down freely.

Step 4

Attach a heavy duty door latch of the type used in public restrooms to the underside of the seat so that, when the latch is closed, the seat can't swing down. Use screws and epoxy to attach and reinforce it.

Step 5

Horizontally mount a bicycle wheel on the far side of the tank. It should be mounted on the same side that the latch is going to be on. Mount it in such a way that it will spin freely.

Step 6

Create a target. You can use a simple piece of wood, a caricature, or anything else. The point is to make something for people to throw at.

Step 7

Nail the target to the end of the lever arm.

Step 8

Attach a large lever arm to the bicycle wheel. This is the board that the target is going to be mounted on, so it should reach out far to the side of the wheel.

Step 9

Cover the seat board with something comfortable to sit on. This is going to be the seat, so you want to use something padded. Foam attached with contact cement would be an excellent choice, but even a thin layer of cloth or vinyl would work.

Step 10

Attach the longer board across the top of the tank so that the other board swings downward when released. Depending on what the tank is made of, you could use epoxy, nails, brackets or any combination.

Step 11

Attach a string from the bicycle wheel to the latch so that, when the lever arm swings back, the latch pulls out and releases the seat.

Step 12

Fill the pool with water...

In 6–8 sentences, write a summary of what you learned from this activity. Include an explanation of what causes the spectral shi
QveST [7]

Answer :First part is what you learned so write what you learned then the other parts is The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.

Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 8.0 kg are connected togetherby
OleMash [197]

Answer:

14 N

Explanation:

The tension in the second string is puling both the masses of 20 kg and 8 kg with acceleration of 0.5 m s⁻²

So tension in the second string = total mass x acceleration

= 28 x .5 = 14 N . Ans..

How much work must be done by frictional forces in slowing a 1000-kg car from 26.1 m/s to rest? a.3.41 x 10^5 J b.2.73 x 10^5 J
algol13

Answer:

Work done by the frictional force is 3.41\times 10^5\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 26.1 m/s

Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0

We have to find the work done by the frictional forces. Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as per work - energy theorem i.e.

W=k_f-k_i

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\ kg(0^2-(26.1\ m/s)^2)

W = −340605 J

or

W=3.41\times 10^5\ J

Hence, the correct option is (a).
