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!

A truck with a mass of 1.5 x 103 kg accelerates to a speed of 18.0 m/s in 12.0 s from a dead stop. Assume that the force of resi
Yakvenalex [24]
Power = Net Force x velocity
Net force = driving force - force of resistance
Driving force = mass x acceleration
Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Acceleration = (18 - 0) / 12 = 1.5 m/s²
Driving force = 1.5 x 10³ x 1.5
= 2250 N
Net force = 2250 - 400
= 1850
Power = 1850 x 18
= 3.33 x 10⁴ Watts

zalisa [80]
A volt-ampere is the product of the voltage and the current (measured in amperes) of the electricity on a line. Voltage is electric potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field. it is measured in volts. while the Current is the flow of electrical charge which is often carried by moving electrons in a wire or a conductor. Current is measured in Amperes.

Which statement is true about a polarized object?
8090 [49]

Answer: Option C: The number of positive and negative charges can be same.

A substance is said to be polarized when there is non-uniform distribution of electric charge. When there gain or loss of electrons, ions are formed. It is not necessary that polarized object is metal. For example, Water is polarized. The oxygen atoms have partial negative charge and hydrogen atoms have partial positive charge.
