Can a small child play with a fat child on a see saw? explain how?

Physics
2 answers:
ollegr [7]3 years ago

The mass of the small child and that of the fat child is not the same. The small child would have a lesser mass compared to the fat child. This also implies that the weight force by the small child is smaller to the force of the fat child.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Therefore, if both the small child and the fat child sit at equal distance from the pivot, the torques by them cannot be equal. The result is that the seesaw will rotate at the end of the child with a bigger weight (fat child).

Therefore, for both of them to play on the seesaw, they have to sit at an unequal distance from the pivot. This also implies that the child with a bigger weight (fat child) needs to sit near the pivot.

This question deals with torque. Torque is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It can be described as the measure of a force that can make an object to rotate within an axis.

Torque can be classified into two and these include

  • Static
  • Dynamic

A static Torque is the type of force that does not produce an angular acceleration, that is, a static torque has nothing to with acceleration while dynamic force produces angular acceleration.

What is the principle of potentiometer?​
kupik [55]

Answer:

The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).

a spring with a constant of 80N/m is stretched by a force of 240N. how much the displacement of the spring from equilibrium?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1200N/m

Explanation:

given parameters:

force on the motorcycle spring is 240N

Extension 2cm or 0.02m

unknown _

spring constant:

:?

solution:

to a spring a force applied is given as :

f=ke

f is applied as force

k is spring constant

e is the Extension

240= kx0.02

k=1200N/m

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla
BlackZzzverrR [31]
  <span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation: 
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

An object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the s
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Momentum is always conserved, and kinetic energy may be conserved.

Explanation:

For an object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface which makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the surface, the type of collision experienced by this objects can either be elastic or an inelastic collision depending on whether the object sticks together after collision or separates and move with a common velocity after collision.

If the body separates and move with a common velocity after collision, the collision is elastic but if they sticks together after collision, the collision is inelastic.

Either ways the momentum of the bodies are always conserved since they will always move with a common velocity after collision but their kinetic energy may or may not be conserved after collision, it all depends whether they separates or stick together after collision and since we are not told in question whether or not they separate, we can conclude that their kinetic energy "may" be conserved.
