The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
I agree with the other comment
Answer:
Explanation:
Force, F = - mg j
r = - 7x i + y j
Torque is defined as the product f force and the perpendicular distance.
It is also defined as the cross product of force vector and the displacement vector.
[tex]\overrightarrow{\tau }= 7 m g x k
Here, we observe that the torque is independent of y coordinate.
Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
