A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. if they both move forward so that they are one-half their

original distance from the pivot point, what will happen to the seesaw? assume that both people are small enough compared to the length of the seesaw to be thought of as point masses.

The saw will tip towards the heavy boy. they are centered on the main pivot point so weight dosnt matter but as they go out. mass and weight will determin if the saw moves or not

A 6 kg weight is lifted off the ground to a height that gives it 70.56 j of gravitational potential energy. what is its height?
Marina CMI [18]
GPE= 70.56 J -------------------> GPE= mgh-------------> X= height
70.56 = 6(kg) * 9.8(m/s/s) * X
70.56 = 58.8X
70.56/58.8= 58.8X/58.8
X= 1.2
The height is 1.2 feet or meters (whatever unit you are using in this problem)

Oil having a density of 926 kg/m3 floats on water. A rectangular block of wood 3.69 cm high and with a density of 974 kg/m3 floa
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

Explanation:

Given;

density of oil, \rho _o = 926 kg/m³

density of the wood, \rho _{wood} = 974 kg/m³

density of water, \rho _w = 1000 kg/m³

height of the wood, h = 3.69 cm

Based on the density of the wood, it will position across the two liquids.

let the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids = x

Let the wood be in equilibrium position;

F_{wood} - F_{oil} - F_{water} = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .gh - \rho _o .g(h-x) - \rho_w .gx = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h - \rho _o (h-x) - \rho_w .x = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h -\rho _o h + \rho _o x - \rho_w .x =0\\\\h (\rho _{wood}  -\rho _o ) = x( \rho_w - \rho _o)\\\\x =h[\frac{ \rho _{wood}  -\rho _o }{\rho_w - \rho _o} ]\\\\x = 3.69\ cm \times [\frac{974 - 926}{1000-926} ]\\\\x = 2.39 \ cm

Therefore, the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

You have two golf balls that differ only in their surfaces. one has dimples, while the other is smooth. if you were to drop the
il63 [147K]

Answer: the golf ball with smooth surface would hit the ground first.


Jusitification:


An analysis of forces show two vertical forces acting on the golf balls.


1) one force is the weight (mg) which is vertical downward


2) the other force is the drag force exerted by the air on the golf balls, and it is vertical upward.


3) the drag force opposes the weight, so the acceleration downward is determined by the difference of the weiight and the drag force, until the balls reach the terminal speed (when the drag force equals the weight).


4) the drag force depends on the shape and area of the object falling. Being the surface of one ball smooth implies that the drag force will be less than the one on the other ball.


5) less drag force implies that the terminal velocity of the smooth ball will he higher, ant then it will hit the ground first.
