An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If

wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by 850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

A 90. 0-kg ice hockey player hits a 0. 150-kg puck, giving the puck a velocity of 45. 0 m/s. If both are initially at rest and i

Mice21 [21]

The distance traveled by the hockey player is 0.025 m.

<h3>The principle of conservation of linear momentum;</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that, the total momentum of an isolated system is always conserved.

The final velocity of the hockey play is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

$m_1v_1 = m_2 v_2\\\\v_1 = \frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1} \\\\v_1 = \frac{0.150 \times 45}{90} \\\\v_1 = 0.075 \ m/s$

The time taken for the puck to reach 15 m is calculated as follows;

$t = \frac{d}{v} \\\\t = \frac{15\ m}{45 \ m/s} \\\\t = 0.33 \ s$

The distance traveled by the hockey player at the calculated time is;

$d = vt\\\\d = 0.075 \ m/s \ \times 0.33 \ s\\\\d = 0.025 \ m$

about how much more energy is released in a 6.5 richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.
