A 5.3 kg cat and a 2.5 kg bowl of tuna fish are at opposite ends of the 4.0-m-long seesaw. how far to the left of the pivot must

Moment about the pivot must be equal for the seesaw to balance. Initially, the first cat and the bowl are at 2 m from the pivot.

The moment due to cat = 5.3*2 = 10.6 kg.m
The moment due to bowl = 2.5*2 = 5 kg.m
The unbalanced moment = 10.6 - 5 = 5.6 kg.m

Therefore, the 3.7 kg cat should stand at a distance x from the pivot in left to balance the 5.6 kg.m.
That is,
3.7*x = 5.6 => x = 5.6/3.7 = 1.5134 m to the left (on the side of the bowl)

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building. The rock's initial speed is 6.0 m/s. How long will it take the r
Archy [21]

Answer:

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m

The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\5=6t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\t=0.569\ seconds

So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Long Snorkel: Inhalation of a breath occurs when the muscles surrounding the human lungs move to increase the volume of the lung
Mila [183]

Answer:

h = 0.362 m

Explanation:

The pressure equation with depth is

      P₂ = P_{atm} +ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

       P2 -  P_{atm} = ρ g h

This is the pressure that muscles can create

       P₂ -  P_{atm}= 3740 Pa

But still the person needs a small pressure for the transfer of gases, so

      P₂ -  P_{atm} = 3740 - 188 = 3552 Pa

This is the maximum pressure difference, where the person can still breathe,

Let's clear the height

      h = 3552 / ρ g

      h = 3552 / (1000 9.8)

      h = 0.362 m

This is the maximum depth where the person can still breathe normally.
