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

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= \sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}

|v|= \sqrt{68} = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

A glass window 0.33 cm thick measures 87 cm by 36 cm. How much heat flows through this window per minute if the inside and outsi
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

6.38 x 10^4 J

Explanation:

d = 0.33 cm = 0.33 x 10^-2 m, Area = 87 x 36 cm^2 = 0.87 x 0.36 m^2

ΔT = 14 degree C, t = 1 min = 60 second

K = 0.8 W / m K

Heat  = K A ΔT t / d

H = 0.8 x 0.87 x 0.36 x 14 x 60 / (0.33 x 10^-2)

H = 6.38 x 10^4 J
