A 588 mother sits on one side of a seesaw, 2.20m away from the pivot. one of her two children sits 2.00m from the pivot on the o

ther side of the seesaw. If the force of gravity on her is 256N, where must the other child sit to balance the seesaw if the force of gravity on him is 412 N ?

Using momentum balance:

The 588 N mother is on the other side of the seesaw, 2.20m away from the pivot

F1 = 588 N
x1 = 2.20 m

Two of her children sat on the other side:

F2 = 256 N
x2 = 2.00 m

F3 = 412 N
x3 = unknown

F1x1 = F2x2 + F3x3

Solve for x3:

588 * 2.2 = 256 * 2 + 412 * x3

x3 =  1.90 meters away from pivot

The mass of a rocket decreases as it burns through its fuel. If the rocket engine produces constant force (thrust), how does the
Serjik [45]

Answer:

it increases-

Explanation:

When the mass of a rocket decreases as it burns through its fuel and the force ( thrust) is constant then by newtons second law of motion

F= ma  here F is constant this means that   ma= constant

⇒ m= F /a    this implies that mass is inversely proportional to  acceleration.

its means when the mass decreases the acceleration must increase. hence the acceleration increases

What is a physical property of matter 
lyudmila [28]
ANSWER: B

EXPLANATION: There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much.

A heat engine takes in 840 kJ per cycle from a heat reservoir. Which is not a possible value of the engine's heat output per cyc
zhannawk [14.2K]
We have by the first law of thermodynamics tha energy is preserved, hence we cannot have over 840kJ per cycle. We have by the laws of thermodynamics (the 2nd one in specific) that the entropy of a system cannot increase. We cannot have an output of  840 kJ per cycle from a heat engine because then that would mean that the entropy would stay the same, while any heat engine increases it. Hence, any value \geq 840 kJ is acceptable.
