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!

If A > B, under what condition is |A-BI=|A|- IB|? a. Vectors A and B are in opposite directions b. Vectors A and B are in the
kupik [55]

Answer:

b) Vectors A and B are in the same direction.

Explanation:

To understand this problem we will say that vector A has a magnitude of 5 units and vector B a magnitude of 3 units. In the subtraction of vectors the initial parts of vectors always bind together. And the vector resulting from the subtraction is traced from the end of the second vector (B) to the end of the first vector (A).

The length of the resultant vector will be 5 - 3 = 2

In the attached image, we analyze case a), b), and d)

For a)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 8 units.

For d)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 5.83 units.

For b)

The resultant vector has a length of 2 units.

Therefore the case given in b) is true

A long distance runner sees the finish line and accelerates at a rate in 1.2 m/s2 for
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: he did travel 15 meters.

Explanation:

We have the data:

Acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s^2

Time lapes = 3 seconds

Initial speed = 3.2 m/s.

Then we start writing the acceleration:

a(t) = 1.2 m/s^2

now for the velocity, we integrate over time:

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + v0

with v0 = 3.2 m/s

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + 3.2 m/s

For the position, we integrate again.

p(t) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*t^2 + 3.2m/s*t + p0

Because we want to know the displacementin those 3 seconds ( p(3s) - p(0s)) we can use p0 = 0m

Then the displacement at t = 3s will be equal to p(3s).

p(3s) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*(3s)^2 + 3.2m/s*3s = 15m

A 1600kg cannon fires a 5kg cannonball horizontally. The exit velocity of the cannonball is 80m/s and the barrel length is 2m. W
evablogger [386]

Answer:

 a = 1600 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the kinematics relations,

         v² = v₀² + 2 a x

where v₀ is the initial velocity of the bullet, which as part of rest is zero, for the distance (x) we can assume that the gases accelerate along the entire trajectory of the cannon x = 2m

         a = \frac{v^2}{2x}

let's calculate

         a = \frac{80^2}{2 \ 2}

         a = 1600 m / s²

The data table shows how the amplitude of a mechanical wave varies with the energy it carries. Analyze the data to identify the
Maslowich

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

<h3>What is the relationship between energy and amplitude?</h3>

There is direct relationship between energy of the wave and the amplitude of the wave. The energy transported by a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave. This means if energy is increase the amplitude of wave becomes double and vice versa.

Energy = (amplitude)2

So we can conclude that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.
