11. A seesaw sits in static equilibrium. A child with a mass of 30 kg sits 1 m away from a pivot point. Another child sits 0.75
m away from the pivot point on the opposite side. The second child's mass is _____ kg.
1 answer:
Answer:
<h2>40 kg</h2>Explanation:
Find the diagram relating to the question for proper explanation of the question below.
Using the principle of moment
Sum of clockwise moments = Sum of anticlockwise moments
Moment = Force * perpendicular distance
For anti-clockwise moment:
Since the 30 kg moves in the anticlockwise direction according to the diagram
ACW moment = 30 * 1 = 30 kgm
For clockwise moment
If another child sits 0.75 m away from the pivot point on the opposite side, moment of the child in clockwise direction = M * 0.75 = 0.75M (M is the mass of the unknown child).
Equating both moments we have;
0.75M = 30
M = 30/0.75
M = 40 kg
The second child's mass is 40 kg

The mechanical energy for the first and the second ball is
Mass of the first ball = 20 kg
The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s
The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 37°
The maximum height reached by the first ball is,
The maximum height of the first cannonball is 17478.69 m.
The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s
The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 90 °
For the first ball, total mechanical energy= Potential energy at maximum height + kinetic energy at the maximum height
So, the total mechanical energy is,
= mgh \: + \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} _{x}[/tex]
Therefore, the total mechanical energy for the first and the
