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

The object represented by this graph is moving
Vinil7 [7]

The object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.

Option 3.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the figure, x-axis is representing increase in the time and y-axis is presenting increase in the distance from bottom to up. But the line in the graph which is plotted is decreasing from high distance to small distance with increase in time. So this indicates that as the time is increasing, the distance is decreasing.

And the object is moving toward the origin as the distance of the object motion is found to decrease with increase of time as per the graph. But the slope of the graph is found to be almost constant, this indicates that the velocity of the object is constant. Thus, the object represented by this graph is moving toward the origin at constant velocity.

How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

They are the same

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.16 kg travels at a velocity of 40 m/s toward a goalkeeper. The goalkeeper has a mass of 120 kg an
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass of a body and its velocity.

Given the mass of the puck m1 = 0.16kg

velocity of the puck v1 = 40m/s

Given the mass of the goalkeeper m2 = 120kg

velocity of the goalkeeper v2= 0m/s (goal keeper at rest)

The total momentum of the goalkeeper and puck after the puck is caught by the goalkeeper is expressed as:

m1v1 + m2v2 (their momentum will be added since they collide)

= 0.16(40) + 120(0)

= 0.16(40) + 0

= 6.4kgm/s

Let us calculate their common velocity using the conservation of momentum formula;

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

6.4 = (0.16+120)v

6.4 = 120.16v

v = 6.4/120.16

v = 0.053m/s

Hence after collision, both objects move at a velocity of 0.053m/s

Momentum of the puck after collision = m1v

Momentum of the puck after collision = 0.16*0.053m/s

Momentum of the puck after collision = 0.0085kgm/s

Momentum of the keeper after collision = m2v

Momentum of the keeper after collision = 120*0.053m/s

Momentum of the keeper after collision = 6.36kgm/s

From the calculation above, it can be seen that the keeper has the greater momentum after the puck was caught since the momentum of the keeper after collision is greater than that of the puck
