The word "Per" means divide
"miles per gallon" is the same as "miles / gallon"
The truck went 1,200 miles
on 55 gallons
1,200 ÷ 55 = 21.81
Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that the ball is projected upwards so that it will reach to maximum height of 16 m
so we have

here we know that

also we have

so we have


Now we need to find the height where its speed becomes half of initial value
so we have

now we have





The weight of the meterstick is:

and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance

from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:

from which we find the value of d2:

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
