D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The force acting on a system with static equilibrium is 0

\large {\boxed {\bold {\sum F = 0}}

(forces acting as translational motion only, not including rotational forces)

\displaystyle \sum F_x = 0 \\\\\ sum F_y = 0

For objects undergoing rotation, the equilibrium must be met

\large {\boxed {\bold {\sum \tau = 0}}

A heavy boy (Hb) and a lightweight girl (Lg) are balanced on a mass-less seesaw

Because there is a balance of rotation, the torque equation:

Στ = 0

Hb.r1-Lg.r2 = 0

Hb.r1 = Lg.r2 (equation 1)

If they both move forward so that they are one-half their original distance from the pivot point, then the distance of the two children to the pivot point is reduced to half

Then the torque equation:

\rm Hb\times \dfrac{r_1}{2}= Lg\times \dfrac{r_2}{2}\\\\Hb\times r_1=Lg\times r_2

This equation remains the same as equation 1, so the seesaw will still be balanced.

Answer:

D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced. Since both toruqes or momentums respect to the center have changed in the same amount (one-half their original distance) the seesaw will remain balanced, if the children change distance in a different amount then it will be out of balance

What is terminal speed? When a skydiver has reached terminal speed, what is the are resistance equal to? What is the skydiver’s
Alla [95]
Terminal speed is the maximum speed that a falling object can reach and is based on aerodynamic resistance. In a vacuum, an object falling toward a planet as a result of gravity will continue to accelerate until it hits the ground.

However, if the object is falling through an atmosphere, such as on earth, then it will accelerate up to the point that the aerodynamic resistance cancels the downward force due to gravity, and it travels at a constant maximum speed, called the terminal velocity. At this point, resistance is equal to acceleration due to gravity. At terminal velocity, the skydiver's acceleration is zero.

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by accelerating charges. The rate at which energy is emitted from an accelerating charge th
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

 P /K = 1,997 10⁻³⁶  s⁻¹

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by finding the radiation emitted from the accelerator

       \frac{dE}{dt} = \frac{q^{2} a^{2} }{6\pi  \epsilon_{o} c^{2}    }

the radius of the orbit is the radius of the accelerator a = r = 0.530 m

let's calculate

       \frac{dE}{dt} = [(1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² 0.530²] / [6π 8.85 10⁻¹² (3 108)³]

      P= \frac{dE}{dt}= 1.597 10⁻⁵⁴ W

Now let's reduce the kinetic energy to SI units

       K = 5.0 10⁶ eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 8.0 10⁻¹⁹ J

the fraction of energy emitted is

      P / K = 1.597 10⁻⁵⁴ / 8.0 10⁻¹⁹

      P /K = 1,997 10⁻³⁶  s⁻¹
