Two children of mass 27 kg and 51 kg sit balanced on a seesaw with the pivot point located at the center of the seesaw. If the c

hildren are separated by a distance of 4 m, at what distance from the pivot point is the small child sitting in order to maintain the balance?

Answer:

2.62 m

Explanation:

Let the small child sit at a distance x from the pivot.

The distance of big child from the pivot is 4 - x .

By using the concept of moments.

Clockwise moments = anticlockwise moments

27 x = 51 ( 4 - x )

27 x = 204 - 51 x

78 x = 204

x = 2.62 m

Rahman drops two stones P and Q each of mass 1 kg and 2 kg simultaneously from
kolbaska11 [484]

This question involves the use of the equations of motion for vertical motion.

The time taken by the stones P and Q to reach the ground is the same, that is "2 s".

The velocity with which Q hits the ground is "20 m/s".

The time taken by the stones to reach the ground can be calculated by using the second equation of motion for the vertical motion:

h = v_it+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

For both the stones P and Q:

h = height = 20 m

v_i = initial velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

Therefore,

20\ m = (0\ m/s)t+\frac{1}{2}(10\ m/s^2)(t)^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{20\ m}{5\ m/s^2}}

<u>t = 2 s</u>

<u></u>

Hence, the time taken by both the stones to reach the ground <u>is the same</u>.

To find the final velocity of stone Q we will use the first equation of motion for the vertical motion:

v_f=v_i+gt\\v_f = 0\ m/s+(10\ m/s^2)(2\ s)\\v_f = 20\ m/s

What happens when the temperature of the medium that sound is passing through increases?
MaRussiya [10]
Speed of sound through a medium depends on
● temperature
● density of medium
● speed of wind
● humidy
● moisture
Speed of sound increases with increase in temperature. Because when temperature increases the molecules get higher energy and they vibrate quickly. Due to this vibration sound waves can travel fastly.
