On a balanced seesaw, a boy three times as heavy as his partner sits
slega [8]

Answer:

1/3 the distance from the fulcrum

Explanation:

On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:

W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2

where

W1 is the weight of the boy

d1 is its distance from the fulcrum

W2 is the weight of his partner

d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum

In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so

W_1 = 3 W_2

If we substitute this into the equation, we find:

(3 W_2) d_1 = W_2 d_2

and by simplifying:

3 d_1 = d_2\\d_1 = \frac{1}{3}d_2

which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

  • If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

       \Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m

  • If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

        l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m

  • The length of the lake is 499 m.

A Ping-Pong ball with mass 2.5 g is attached by a thread to the bottom of a beaker. When the beaker is filled with water so that
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

0.022m or 2.2cm

Expxlanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Mass (m) = 2.5g = 2.5/1000 = 2.5x10^-3Kg

Tension (T) = 0.029 N

Density (ρ) = 1000 kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s2

Diameter (d) =?

Step 2:

Finding an expression to calculate the diameter of the ball. This is illustrated below:

Tension = weight displaced - weight of the ball

Weight displaced = Mass of water x acceleration due to gravity

Mass of water = Density x volume

Mass of water = ρxV

Weight displaced = ρxVxg = ρVg

Weight of the ball = Mass of the ball x acceleration due to gravity

Weight of the ball = mg

Therefore,

Tension = weight displaced - weight of the ball

T = ρVg - mg

Make V the subject of the formula

T = ρVg - mg

T + mg = ρVg

Divide both side by ρg

V = ( T + mg) /ρg. (1)

Recall that the ball is spherical in shape and the Volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3πr^3

Radius (r) = diameter (d) /2

V = 4/3π(d/2)^3

V = 4/3πd^3/8

V = πd^3 /6

Substituting the value of V into equation 1, we have

V = ( T + mg) /ρg

πd^3 /6 = ( T + mg) /ρg.

Making d the subject of the formula, we have:

πd^3 /6 = (T + mg) /ρg.

d^3 = 6(T + mg) /πρg.

Taking the cube root of both sides

d = [6(T + mg) /πρg]^1/3

Step 3:

Determination of the diameter of the ball. This is illustrated below:

T = 0.029 N

m = 2.5x10^-3Kg

g = 9.81 m/s2

ρ = 1000 kg/m3

d =?

d = [6(T + mg) /πρg]^1/3

d = [6(0.029 + 2.5x10^-3x9.81)/ πx1000x9.81]^1/3

d = 0.022m

Therefore, the diameter of the ball is 0.022m or 2.2cm
