Annette [7]4 years ago

Research indicates that the prefrontal cortex, or the area of the brain that assists in controlling impulses and emotion, is not fully mature in teenagers. The brain's reward center also appears to be highly active in adolescence as well. As a result of cognitive immaturity, adolescents may be more likely to engage in risky behavior as they may lack the ability to control emotions or delay gratification in times when this behavior is needed.

An Olympic-class sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 5.10 m/s2. What is her speed 2.40 s later?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

12.24 m/s

Explanation:

Speed: This can be defined as the rate of change of distance with time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s.

Using the formula,

a = v/t................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the sprinter, v = speed of the sprinter, t = time.

making v the subject of the equation,

v = at ................. Equation 2

Given: a = 5.1 m/s², t = 2.4 s.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 5.1(2.4)

v = 12.24 m/s.

Hence, the speed of the sprinter = 12.24 m/s

A seesaw has an irregularly distributed mass of 30 kg, a length of 3.0 m, and a fulcrum beneath its midpoint. It is balanced whe
gladu [14]

Answer:

x = 0.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive

          ∑ τ = 0

          60 1.5 - 78 1.5 + 30 x = 0

where x is measured from the left side of the fulcrum

           90 - 117 + 30 x = 0

           x = 27/30

           x = 0.9 m       

In summary the center of mass is on the side of the lightest weight x = 0.9 m
