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)

Sam, whose mass is 60 Kg, is riding on a 5.0 kg sled initially traveling at 8.0 m/s. He
umka2103 [35]
<h3>Answer:  130 newtons</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

We'll need the acceleration first.

  • The initial speed (let's call that Vi) is 8.0 m/s
  • The final speed (Vf) is 0 m/s since Sam comes to a complete stop at the end.
  • This happens over a duration of t = 4.0 seconds

The acceleration is equal to the change in speed over change in time

a = acceleration

a = (change in speed)/(change in time)

a = (Vf - Vi)/(4 seconds)

a = (0 - 8.0)/4

a = -8/4

a = -2

The acceleration is -2 m/s^2, meaning that Sam slows down by 2 m/s every second. Negative accelerations are often associated with slowing down. The term "deceleration" can be used here.

Here's a further break down of Sam's speeds at the four points of interest

  • At 0 seconds, he's going 8 m/s
  • At the 1 second mark, he's slowing down to 8-2 = 6 m/s
  • At the 2 second mark, he's now at 6-2 = 4 m/s
  • At the 3 second mark, he's at 4-2 = 2 m/s
  • Finally, at the 4 second mark, he's at 2-2 = 0 m/s

Next, we'll apply Newton's Second Law of motion

F = m*a

where,

  • F = force applied
  • m = mass
  • a = acceleration

We just found the acceleration, and the mass is fairly easy as all we need to do is add Sam's mass with the sled's mass to get 60+5.0 = 65 kg

So the force applied must be:

F = m*a

F = 65*(-2)

F = -130 newtons

This force is negative to indicate it's pushing against the sled's momentum to slow Sam down.

The magnitude of this force is |F| = |-130| = 130 newtons
