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

An object accelerates from rest and travels 53 m west in 5.2 s. Determine the acceleration
zmey [24]

Answer:

20.4m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Distance  = 53m

Time  = 5.2s

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

This is a linear motion and we use the right motion equation;

        S = ut  + \frac{1}{2}at²

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

 Insert the parameters and solve;

       53  = (0x 5.2) +  \frac{1}{2} x a x 5.2

       53  = 2.6a

         a = \frac{53}{2.6}  = 20.4m/s²

Bullets from two revolvers are fired with the same velocity. The bullet from gun #1 is twice as heavy as the bullet from gun #2.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Let mass of the bullet be m and velocity be v

mass of gun be M and bullet be V

now,

using conservation of momentum for gun 1

(M+m) V' = 2 mv + 3 MV

V' = 0

3 M V = - 2 mv

momentum of gun 1 =- 2 mv---------(1)

now for gun 2

(M+m) V' = mv + MV

V' = 0

M V = - mv

momentum of gun 1 = -mv-----------(2)

dividing equation (1) by (2)

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{- 2mv}{-mv}

\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{2}{1}

the correct answer is option C
