A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy moves backward, increasing his distance from the p

ivot point. What happens to the seesaw? a.It is impossible to predict without knowing additional information. b. The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward. c. The side the girl is sitting on will tilt downward.d. Nothing; the seesaw will remain balanced.

Answer:

b. The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward

Explanation:

Initially, the seesaw is balanced because the torque exerted by the boy is equal to the torque exerted by the girl:

\tau_b = \tau_g\\W_b d_b = W_g d_g

where

Wb is the weight of the boy

db is the distance of the boy from the pivot

Wg is the weight of the girl

dg is the distance of the girl from the pivot

When the boy moves backward, the distance of the boy from the pivot ((d_b) increases, therefore the torques are no longer balanced: the torque exerted by the boy will be larger, and therefore the side of the boy will tilt downward.

Answer:

10000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car  = 1000kg

Acceleration = 3m/s²

g  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Weight of the car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that weight is the vertical gravitational force that acts on a body.

 Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

    Weight  = 1000 x 10  = 10000N

The human ear canal is about 2.3 cm long. If it is regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum, what is the fun
mariarad [96]

Answer:

For the given conditions the fundamental frequency is 3728.26 Hertz

Explanation:

We know that for a pipe open at one end and closed at other end the fundamental frequency is given by

f=\frac{V_{s}}{4L}

where

f is the fundamental frequency

V_{s} is the speed of sound in air in the surrounding conditions.

L = Length of the pipe

Applying values we get and using speed of sound as 343m/s we get

f=\frac{343}{4\times 2.3\times 10^{-2}}=3728.26Hz
