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>

If the bat emits a sound at a frequency of 80.2 kHzkHz and hears it reflected at a frequency of 83.5 kHzkHz while traveling at a
solong [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other.

Mathematically it can be described as

v' = v (\frac{f' ( v - v_{bat}) - f ( v + v_{bat})}{f'(v-v_{bat}) + f ( v + v_{bat})})

Where,

v = Speed of sound

f' = Reflected frequency

f = Emitted Frequency

v_{bat} = Speed of the object

Assuming that the speed of the medium is the speed of sound of 343m / s, we will then have that:

v' = 343 (\frac{(83.5) (343 -3.9) - 80.2(343+3.9)}{83.5(343-3.9) + 80.2(343+4.3)})

v' = 3.0134m/s

What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

the specific heat of gold is 0.031 calories degrees Celsius and the specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories degrees Celsius so
givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Specific heat of gold  = 0.031cal/°C

Specific heat of silver  = 0.057cal/°C

To know the metals that will heat up faster, we must understand the meaning of specific heat capacity.

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Now,

The higher the specific heat capacity the more energy it is required to heat up the substance.

So, Gold with a specific heat capacity of 0.031cal/°C  will heat up faster.

The troughs or zero amplitude of a standing wave are called ____________.
konstantin123 [22]
Each successive graph is at a later time. You can see from these graphs how the amplitude of the total electric field changes, but the positions of the crests and troughs (called antinodes) and places of zero field (called nodes) never change.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
