At the local playground, a 21-kg child sits on the right end of a horizontal teeter-totter, 1.8 m from the pivot point. On the l

eft side of the pivot an adult pushes straight down on the teeter-totter with a force of 151 N. Part A In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 3.0 m from the pivot?Part B
In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 2.5 m from the pivot?
(clockwise/counterclockwise)
Part C
In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 2.0 m from the pivot?
(clockwise/counterclockwise)

Answer:

By convention a negative torque leads to clockwise rotation and a positive torque leads to counterclockwise rotation.

here weight of the child =21kgx9.8m/s2 = 205.8N

the torque exerted by the child Tc = - (1.8)(205.8) = -370.44N-m ,negative sign is inserted because this torque is clockwise and is therefore negative by convention.

torque exerted by adult Ta = 3(151) = 453N , counterclockwise torque.

net torque Tnet = -370.44+453 =82.56N , which is positive means counterclockwise rotation.

b) Ta = 2.5x151 = 377.5N-m

Tnet = -370.44+377.5 = 7.06N-m , positive ,counterclockwise rotation.

c)Ta = 2x151 = 302N-m

Tnet = -370.44+302 = -68.44N-m, negative,clockwise rotation.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

B = Bo / 2

Explanation:

Magnesium and electric fields are related in an electromagnetic wave

        E / B = c

If the electric field is halved the magnetic field must also be halved to meet the written equation

           B = Bo / 2

shusha [124]

Answer : The correct option is (D).

Explanation :

Given that,

A track begins at 0 meters and has a total distance of 100 meters. Juliet starts at the 10-meter mark while practicing for a race.

We have to find her position after she runs 45 meters.

From the attached figure,

Let A is the position of Juliet. O is the initial point such that OA = 10 m, AB = 45 m and OP = 100 m.

So, using simple mathematics, it is clear that the position of Juliet after running 45 meters will be 55 m. It is OB in the figure.

So, the correct option is (D) " 55 meters ".

5. What is the velocity of a Nolan Catholic football player if he runs 200.0 m in 24.0 s?
Degger [83]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed {\sf{8.33 \: m \:/s \: }}}}}

Explanation:

Distance travelled = 200 metre

Time taken = 24 second

Velocity = ?

<u>Finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>velocity</u><u> </u>

\boxed{ \sf{velocity =  \frac{distance \: travelled \: }{time \: taken}}}

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity =  \frac{200 \: m}{24 \: s} }}

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity = 8.33 \: m/s}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
