Answer:
The mother has to sit 2.17 ft from the center on the other side of the seesaw.
Explanation:
We are trying to find the sum of torques given by the weights of mother and daughter to be zero.
If the torque of the daughter on one side of the pivoting point is given by:
5.5 ft x 63.5 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb
we need that the absolute value of the torque exerted by the mom (160.9 lb) to be the same in magnitude (and of course opposite direction). So we assume that "d" is the distance at which the mother locates to make this torque equal in magnitude to her daughter's torque:
d x 160.9 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb
d = 2.17 ft
Answer: D. 500 J
=========================================================
Explanation:
To find the amount of work done, we multiply the force by displacement
work = force*displacement
work = (100 N)*(5 m)
work = (100*5) Nm
work = 500 J
In this case, "Nm" refers to "Newton meters" and not "nanometers"
1 newton meter is equal to 1 joule
Option C: Later in the day, less power is developed in lifting each box
When a satellite is revolving into the orbit around a planet then we can say
net centripetal force on the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet, so we will have
now we can say that kinetic energy of satellite is given as
also we know that since satellite is in gravitational field of the planet so here it must have some gravitational potential energy in it
so we will have
so we can say that energy from the fuel is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the satellite
