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.

) Un círculo de 120 cm de radio gira a 600 rpm. Calcula: a) su velocidad angular

DIA [1.3K]

Responder:

20πrads ^ -1; 24πrads ^ -1; 0,1 seg; 10 Hz

Explicación:

Dado lo siguiente:

Radio (r) del círculo = 120 cm

600 revoluciones por minuto en radianes por segundo

(600 / min) * (2π rad / 1 rev) * (1min / 60seg)

(1200πrad / 60sec) = 20π rad ^ -1

Velocidad angular (w) = 20πrads ^ -1

Velocidad lineal = radio (r) * velocidad angular (w)

Velocidad lineal = (120/100) * 20πrad

Velocidad lineal = 1.2 * 20πrads ^ -1 = 24πrads ^ -1

C.) Período (T):

T = 2π / w = 2π / 20π = 0.1 seg

D.) Frecuencia (f):

f = 1 / T = 1 / 0.1

1 / 0,1 = 10 Hz

How does the strong nuclear force hold the nucleus of an atom together?

The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus of an atom together.

Somehow, it overcomes the electrical force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus, which all have the same charge but still stay close together somehow. (b)

At a rock concert, the sound intensity 1.0 m in front of the bank of loudspeakers is 0.10 W/m². A fan is 30 m from the loudspeak

Klio2033 [76]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Area, the power and the proportionality relationships between intensity and distance.

The expression for sound power is,

$P = AI$

Here,

A = Area

I = Intensity

P = Power

At the same time the area can be written as,

$A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Now the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, then

$I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

The expression for the intensity at different distance is

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}= \frac{r^2_2}{r_1^2}$

Here,

$I_1$ = Intensity at distance 1

$I_2$ = Intensity at distance 2

$r_1$ = Distance 1 from light source

$r_2$ = Distance 2 from the light source

If we rearrange the expression to find the intensity at second position we have,

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})$

If we replace with our values at this equation we have,

$I_2 = (0.10W/m^2)(\frac{1.0m^2}{30.0m^2})$

$I_2 = 1.11*10^{-4} W/m^2$

Now using the equation to find the area we have that

$A = \frac{\pi (8.4*10^{-3}m)^2}{4}$

$A = 5.5*10^{-5}m^2$

Finally with the intensity and the area we can find the sound power, which is

$P = AI$

$P = (5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(1.11*10^{-4}W/m^2)$

$P = 6.1*10^{-9}J/s$

Power is defined as the quantity of Energy per second, then

$E = 6.1*10^{-9}J$
