Answer:

a rock of 50kg should be placed =drock=0.5m from the pivot point of see saw

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

Use the equation for torque in this equation.

(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)

The force of each object will be equal to the force of gravity.

(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)

Gravity can be canceled from each side of the equation. for simplicity.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now we can use the mass of the rock and the mass of the child. The total length of the seesaw is two meters, and the child sits at one end. The child's distance from the center of the seesaw will be one meter.

(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock

Solve for the distance between the rock and the center of the seesaw.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m

Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 8.0 kg are connected togetherby
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The tension is 14 N

Explanation:

For this problem we have to use newton's law, so:

F=m*a

The second string is connected to the mass of 8 kg, but the mass of 8 kg is connected to the mass of 20kg, so we can say that the second string is handling the two masses. so:

F=28kg*0.5\frac{m}{s^2}=14N

Develop a hypothesis for why one of the two types of soup should indeed be rolling down faster than the other. This hypothesis s
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Assume two identical cans filled with two types of soup having same mass are rolling down on an inclined plane in same conditions. In terms of inertia different types of soup will indicate different viscosity. The higher viscosity fillings indicates more part of the soup mass is rotating together with the can’s body. This means that for the can with lower viscosity soup has a lower moment of inertia and the can with higher viscosity has higher moment of inertia while the same gravity makes them to roll.

incline angle = θ ; can's mass =  m ; Radius of the can's = R , Angular acceleration for Can 1 = α1 ; Angular acceleration for Can 2 = α2

T1 = Inertia of Can with high viscosity soup

T2 = Inertia of Can with low viscosity soup

M1 rolling moment of Can 1

M2 rolling moment of Can 2

equation is given by

T1*α1 = M1   - (a)

T2*α2 = M2 - (b)

M1 = M2 = m*g*R*sin(θ). (c)

as assumed T1 > T2

from the three equation (a), (b) & (c)

the α2 > α1

Angular acceleration of Can 2 is higher than Can 1. Already stated that Can 1 has more viscous soup as compared to Can 2.

How to get a + b on a graph
Nataly [62]

The first positively essential requirement is that
you absolutely have to know what 'a' and 'b' are.

I have no clue, so this is as far as I can go.

If an object is dropped from a tall building and it hits the ground 3.0 s later, what is the velocity of the object when it hits
ikadub [295]

Answer:

-29.4 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity is 0 m/s.

Acceleration is -9.8 m/s².

Time is 3.0 s.

v = at + v₀

v = (-9.8)(3.0) + 0

v = -29.4 m/s
