On a balanced seesaw, a boy three times as heavy as his partner sits

Physics
1 answer:
slega [8]3 years ago

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.

In which of these samples do the molecules most likely have the most kinetic energy? (2 points)
Vinvika [58]

D, water vapor. Gaseous state would have more kinetic energy, they are moving faster. If you have to compare the same state, then higher temperature would have the higher kinetic energy. But if you have solid and liquid at the same temperature - then liquid would have more.

A 3.00-kg rifle fires a 0.00500-kg bullet at a speed of 300 m/s. Which force is greater in magnitude:(i) the force that the rifl
alekssr [168]

Answer:

C. both forces have the same magnitude

Explanation:

Here the action force is equal to the reaction force in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Also when we apply the conservation of momentum so that the momentum bullet and the momentum of the gun are equal and according to the second law of motion by Newton, we have force equal to the rate of change in momentum.

We have the equation for momentum as:

p=m.v

Newton's second law is Mathematically given as:

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

Momentum is constant and the reaction time is equal, so the force exerted will also be equal.
