How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it. But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is:

(the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do. The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

What is the wavelength of violet light that has a frequency of 7.5x10^14

Crank

Λ= V/f
but change it to represent the speed of light, c 
λ= c/f 
c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s 
Plug in your given info and solve for λ(wavelength) 
λ= 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 7.5 x 10^14 Hz
(3.00 x 10^8) / (7.5 x 10^14) = 300,000,000 / 750,000,000,000,000 = 0.0000004
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The speed change during the 45-minute trip is 20[mph]

Explanation:

When we see the speed at the 45 minutes this is 20 [mph] and at the 0 minutes the speed is 0 [mph].

Therefore the change is (20 - 0) = 20 [mph]

In the attached image we can see the different figures. In fig 1 we can see the bicycle's speed after 10 minutes when the speed becames constant.

In the fig. 2 we can find the graph when the biker stopped at 30 minutes and took a 15-minute break.

Figures 3 and 4, show the differences when a horizontal line is traced on a position vs time graph, and when the horizontal line is traced in a speed vs time graph.

For fig 3 we can conclude that the body is not moving therefore there is no velocity or acceleration. And for the fig 4, we can realize that the area under the horizontal line represents a displacement during the respective interval of time.
