"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way.
-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down. It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.
-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move. The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.
-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her. If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.
From these examples, you can see a few things:
-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.
-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.
-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.
When a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes. then the woman's average speed during her entire motion would be 73.15 meters /minute.
<h3>What is speed?</h3>
The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed.
the mathematical expression for speed is given by
speed = total; distance /total time
As given in the problem a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes
60 min = 1 hour
1 mile = 1.60934 km
The distance covered by her southwards = speed ×time
=2 mph × 60 minutes
= 3.218 km
She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes
The distance covered northward is 3000m
speed = total distance /total time
=(3218 +3000) /(60+25)
=73.15 meters /minutes
Thus, The average speed of the woman would be 73.15 meters /minute.

Answer:
<h2>45 N</h2>
Explanation:
The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula
force = mass × acceleration
From the question we have
force = 15 × 3
We have the final answer as
<h3>45 N</h3>

Answer:
<h3>a.</h3>
- After it has traveled through 1 cm :
- After it has traveled through 2 cm :
<h3>b.</h3>
- After it has traveled through 1 cm :
- After it has traveled through 2 cm :
Explanation:
<h2>
a.</h2>
For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient 
the formula is:
where I is the intensity of the beam, 
is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.
For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:
After travelling 2 cm:
<h2>b</h2>
The optical density od is given by:
.
So, after travelling 1 cm:
After travelling 2 cm:
