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.
I believe you forgot to add the choices. I will tell you some of the characteristics of mixtures and I hope you find one of them in the choices you have.
A mixture is a physical combination between two or more elements. No chemical reaction is involved in the formation of mixtures.
The components of the mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, boiling and condensation.
Examples of mixtures include mixture of sugar and water or mixture of salt and sugar.
Well, to be honest, there is no official way to find out which volcano erupted recently as scientists don't have that type of equipment ready or in use at all; also there is no official way [...] because there are always eruptions occurring.
If you want the most known, "Calbuco" is your answer. It erupted in 2014 and it is found in Chile.
