On a balanced seesaw, a boy three times as heavy as his partner sits
slega [8]

Answer:

1/3 the distance from the fulcrum

Explanation:

On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:

W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2

where

W1 is the weight of the boy

d1 is its distance from the fulcrum

W2 is the weight of his partner

d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum

In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so

W_1 = 3 W_2

If we substitute this into the equation, we find:

(3 W_2) d_1 = W_2 d_2

and by simplifying:

3 d_1 = d_2\\d_1 = \frac{1}{3}d_2

which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.

In which changes of state do atoms lose energy
Anika [276]
             Yeah, it's every state. Atoms need a certain quanta of energy to jump to each state of energy, and therefore change state depending on how much energy is absorbed and/or released. This applies to all states of matter.

What is Newton's Second Law?
Rudiy27

Answer:

An object's acceleration depends on its mass and on the net force acting on it.

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s
