Two boys want to balance a seesaw perfectly. One boy weighs 120 pounds and is sitting four feet from the fulcrum. The other boy

weighs 80 pounds. Where should the lighter boy sit to balance the seesaw?

Basically a distance multiplied by a weight that is equal to the distance that is going to be multiplied by the weight. (for the equation we will use X for the distance).

equation: 4 x1 20 = ? x 80

Now step one: 4(120) = X(80)

Or another way is 480 = 80X

480/80 = X

48/8= X

X = 6

I hope this could help! Sorry if it didn't make much sense otherwise!

An object is pushed from rest across a sheet of ice, accelerating at 8.0 m/s^2 [E] over a displacement of 1.05 m [E]. The object

tatiyna

Answer:

$D_T=18.567m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Acceleration $a=8.0 m/s^2$

Displacement $d=1.05 m$

Initial time $t_1=6.0s$

Final Time $t_2=2.5s$

Generally the equation for Velocity of 1.05 travel is mathematically given by

Using Newton's Law of Motion

$V^2=2as$

$V=\sqrt{2*6*1.05}$

$V=4.1m/s$

Generally the equation for Distance traveled before stop is mathematically given by

$d_2=v*t_1$

$d_2=3.098*4$

$d_2=12.392$

Generally the equation for Distance to stop is mathematically given by

Since For this Final section

Final velocity $v_3=0 m/s$

Initial velocity $u_3=4.1 m/s$

Therefore

Using Newton's Law of Motion

$-a_3=(4.1)/(2.5)$

$-a_3=1.64m/s^2$

Giving

$v_3^2=u^2-2ad_3$

Therefore

$d_3=\frac{u_3^2}{2ad_3}$

$d_3=\frac{4.1^2}{2*1.64}$

$d_3=5.125m$

Generally the Total Distance Traveled is mathematically given by

$D_T=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$D_T=5.125m+12.392+1.05 m$

$D_T=18.567m$

If the nucleus of an atom contains 12 protons how many electrons are there in a neutral atom why

kicyunya [14]

For a neutral atom number of electrons equals number of protons, in other for the net charge of the atom to be zero...
no. of electrons = 12
