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!

During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 27.4 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.34 m
Maurinko [17]

a. The ball's horizontal and vertical positions at time t are given by

x=\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t

y=2.34\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

The ball reaches the net when x=12.0\,\rm m:

12.0\,\mathrm m=\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t=0.438\,\rm s

At this time, the ball is at an altitude of

2.34\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2\left(0.438\,\mathrm s\right)^2=1.40\,\mathrm m

which is 1.40 m - 0.900 m = 0.500 m above the net.

b. The change in angle gives the ball the new position functions

x=\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-5.00^\circ)t

y=2.34\,\mathrm m+\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-5.00^\circ)t-\dfrac g2t^2

The ball reaches the net at time t such that

\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-5.00^\circ)t=12.0\,\mathrm m\implies t=0.440\,\mathrm s

at which point the ball's vertical position would be

2.34\,\mathrm m+\left(27.4\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-5.00^\circ)\left(0.440\,\mathrm s\right)-\dfrac g2\left(0.440\,\mathrm s\right)^2=0.343\,\mathrm m

so that the ball does not clear the net with 0.343 m - 0.900 m = -0.557 m.

the atomic number of krypton (kr) is 36, and its mass number is 84. how many neutrons does it have? 18 36 48 72
tino4ka555 [31]

By definition, we have that the number of neutrons is given by:

# neutrons = atomic mass - # protons

We know that the atomic mass is equal to 84.

We know the atomic number of Krypton is equal to 36. This means that the Krypton has 36 protons and 36 electrons.

Therefore, substituting values we have:

  # neutrons = 84 - 36

  # neutrons = 48

Answer:

The Krypton has 48 neutrons

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 7.0 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.7 t ?
Ivenika [448]
We know that a charge moving in a magnetic field is subject to the force:
F = q · v · B

But we also know that:
F = m · a

Therefore, it must be:
m · a = <span>q · v · B

And solving for a:
</span>a = <span>q · v · B / m

Recall that for a proton:
q = 1.6</span>×10⁻¹⁹ C
m = 1.673×10⁻²⁷ kg

Now, you can find:
a = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ · 7.0 · 1.7 / <span>1.673×10⁻²⁷
   = 1.14</span>×10⁹ m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the proton is 1.14<span>×10⁹ m/s²</span>.
