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>

Find deacceleration An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The deceleration is  a = -0.7273 \ m/s^2  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of the car from the crossing is d = 360 \  m

   The speed is u  = 16 \  m/s

    The reaction time of the engineer is  t = 0.53 \ s

Generally the distance covered during the reaction time is  

      d_r = u * t

=>   d_r = 16 * 0.53

=>   d_r = 8.48 \ m

Generally distance of the car from the crossing after the  engineer reacts is

      D = d- d_r        

=> D = 360 - 8.48      

=> D = 352 \ m

Generally from kinematic equation

      v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here v is the final velocity of the car which is  0 m/s

So

        0^2 = 16^2 + 2 * a * 352

=>    a = -0.7273 \ m/s^2
