<span>Weight is directly proportional to mass.</span>
Answer:
A book on its side exerts a greater force.
Explanation:
Pressure = Force / Area
Assuming that 1kg = 10N
2kg = 20N
Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m
= 0.6m²
Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²
= 30Pa (1 s.f.)
Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m
= 0.01m²
Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²
= 2000Pa (1 s.f.)
Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.
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:
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
If we substitute this into the equation, we find:
and by simplifying:
which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.
<span>One timing problem
in using fiscal policy to counter a recession is called the “legislative lag”
it occurs between the time the time the need for fiscal action is recognized
and between the time that it is taken in action.</span>
Answer:
