Answer:

<h2>C. 80kg</h2>

Explanation:

The question lacks the appropriate diagram. Find the diagram attached below:

Let the mass of his friend be M.

Using the principle of moment which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of its anticlockwise moment to solve the problem,.

Since Moment = Force * perpendicular distance.

The smaller boy will move in the clockwise direction and his friend will move in the anti clockwise direction.

Clockwise moment = 40 * 4 = 160kgm

anticlockwise moment = M * 2 = 2Mkgm

Equating both moments to get the mass M of his friend

160 = 2M

Divide both sides by 2

2M/2 = 160/2

M = 80kg

<em>Hence the mass of his friend that will keep the seesaw balanced horizontally is 80kg.</em>

What is air masses? And 5 effect of it​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of miles, and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character.When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.

Air masses can affect the weather because of different air masses that are different in temperature, density, and moisture. When two different air masses meet a front forms. This is one way air masses effect our weather.

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point
seropon [69]

since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle

so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle

also we know that

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

11.6 = \frac{2.5^2}{R}

R = 0.54 m

so the coordinates of the center will be

(x, y) = (3.20 , (3.5 + 0.54))

(x, y) = (3.20, 4.04)

so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)

What can you use to determine whether the SATA port no which you are connecting the drive will also run at 6.0Gbps?
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The answer is "use manual motherboard".

Explanation:

The motherboard is also known as the mainboard, it an electronic circuit board, that can connect with the CPU, RAM, and other networking equipment parts. It is also is known as a chipset, that differ widely in style, context, power source, height and performance (Form Factor).

All the data of the computer is stored memory, which checks into the motherboard, that the SATA port which you are connected to is still going to run at 6.0Gbps or not.

According to the "Law of Increasing Opportunity Costs," what would be the opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all ni
kodGreya [7K]

C. The opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all night to study for an exam that he has to take in the early morning is sleep or rest.

<h3>What is law of opportunity cost?</h3>

The law of increasing opportunity cost is an economic principle that describes how opportunity costs increase as resources are applied.

As the student gives up his sleep or night rest in the place of his exam preparation, we say that the opportunity cost is the sleep or rest.

Thus, the opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all night to study for an exam that he has to take in the early morning is sleep or rest.
