Tasha has mass 20 kg and wants to use a 4.0-m board of mass 10 kg as a seesaw. her friends are busy, so tasha seesaws by herself

by putting the support at the system's center of gravity when she sits on one end of the board. how far is she from the support point?

The 4 m board's center of mass is 2 m so the pivot point is somewhere between Tasha and 2 m (if you draw a picture it's going to make this clearer)

 The mass of Tasha * her distance from the pivot point = the board's mass * distance from the pivot point. 
<span> Let d1 be the distance Tasha is from the pivot point. The board's center of mass from the pivot point is 2 m - d1 
</span><span> 20 kg * d1 = 10 kg * (2m - d1) 
</span><span> Solve for d1, you should get 2/3 of a m for the distance Tasha is from the pivot or support point. The center of mass for the board is 1 1/3 m from the support point. </span>

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Some of the effects of a dam on the environment includes;

1) Increase in the amount of the greenhouse gases

2) Removal of the natural wetland and ocean carbon sinks

3) Disruption of the sources of nutrients in the ecosystem

4) Destruction of habitats

5) Raising of the sea levels and waste waters

6) Displace villages and communities

7) Dams have a potential to create flood risk

8) Dams lead to increased water loss due to evaporation and transpiration

9) Dams causes earthquakes

Explanation:

Dams are a source of renewable energy and are a means to prevent floods, however, dams can also have detrimental impact on the climate and the environment.

Can we store electricity from lightning?
Helga [31]
No. For one thing, when it comes, it flows too fast to catch it and store it. And second, you never know WHERE to set up your equipment.

Answer:

Same reading.

Explanation:

Assume that after the string breaks the ball falls through the liquid with constant speed. If the mass of the bucket and the liquid is 1.20 kg, and the mass of the ball is 0.150 kg,

A.) Before the string break, the total weight = weight of the can + weight of the water.

According to Archimedes' Principle which state that: “A body immersed in a liquid loses weight by an amount equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.” Archimedes principle also states that: “When a body is immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust, equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it

B.) After the string break.

The scale will have the same reading as before the string break.
