<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.
4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>
Answer:
When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it produces light bright enough to blind you temporarily. Magnesium burns so bright because the reaction releases a lot of heat. As a result of this exothermic reaction, magnesium gives two electrons to oxygen, forming powdery magnesium oxide (MgO).
Answer:
20 kg
Explanation:
remember the equation f=ma.
100 N=force
5 m/s2= acceleration
so you need to divide force by acceleration: 100 N/ 5 m/s2= 20 kg, to get the mass.
Answer:
0.67 s
Explanation:
This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).
The displacement, 
, of an SHM is given by
A is the amplitude and 
is the angular frequency.
We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or 
radian.
From trigonometry, 
if A and B are complementary.
