A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long

and pivoted at the middle. The lady has a weight of 500 newtons and is standing on one end. The elephant has a weight of 2500 N and is walking toward her on the beam. How far does the elephant have to walk from the end toward the middle to balance the beam

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

** URGENT** The voltage across the primary winding is 350,000 V, and the voltage across the secondary winding is 17,500 V. If th
Vlad [161]

As we know that in transformers we have

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

here we know that

V_s = 17,500 Volts

V_p = 350,000 Volts

N_s = 600 coils

now from above equation we will have

\frac{17500}{350000} = \frac{600}{N_p}

N_p = 600\times \frac{350000}{17500}

N_p = 12000 coils

An incompressible fluid flows at .252 m/s through a 44 diameter (circular cross section) pipe. The pipe widens to a square cross
Serggg [28]

ANSWER:

The easiest way to get a fairly accurate measure of your water flow rate is to time yourself filling up a bucket. So for example if you fill up a 10 litre bucket in 1.5 minutes, then your flow rate will be: 10/1.5 = 6.66 Litres per minute.

A uranium nucleus is traveling at 0.94 c in the positive direction relative to the laboratory when it suddenly splits into two p
Anettt [7]

Answer:

A   u = 0.36c      B u = 0.961c

Explanation:

In special relativity the transformation of velocities is carried out using the Lorentz equations, if the movement in the x direction remains

     u ’= (u-v) / (1- uv / c²)

Where u’ is the speed with respect to the mobile system, in this case the initial nucleus of uranium, u the speed with respect to the fixed system (the observer in the laboratory) and v the speed of the mobile system with respect to the laboratory

The data give is u ’= 0.43c and the initial core velocity v = 0.94c

Let's clear the speed with respect to the observer (u)

      u’ (1- u v / c²) = u -v

      u + u ’uv / c² = v - u’

      u (1 + u ’v / c²) = v - u’

      u = (v-u ’) / (1+ u’ v / c²)

Let's calculate

      u = (0.94 c - 0.43c) / (1+ 0.43c 0.94 c / c²)

      u = 0.51c / (1 + 0.4042)

      u = 0.36c

We repeat the calculation for the other piece

In this case u ’= - 0.35c

We calculate

       u = (0.94c + 0.35c) / (1 - 0.35c 0.94c / c²)

       u = 1.29c / (1- 0.329)

       u = 0.961c
