A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy moves backward, increasing his distance from the p
1 answer:
Answer:
The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward.
Explanation:
According to the law of moments when the same force is applied at a greater distance from the pivot then the effect of moment is greater about that point.
<u>Mathematically momentum is given as:</u>
where:
F is the applied force at a distance 'r' acting in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the point of application and the hinge.
- Moment is the rotational effect of the applied force on the body.
<em>When the boy of a heavier mass than the girl was sitting on a balanced see-saw then it is certain that he was closer to the hinge than the girl to balance the turning effect (in case of an unbiased see-saw). When the body moves farther his weight is same but the radial distance from the hinge increases which increases his moment of weight.</em>

<h2>a) Average velocity in first 4 seconds is 64 ft/s upward</h2><h2>b) Average velocity in second 4 seconds is 63.5 ft/s downward</h2>
Explanation:
a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²
s(0) = 76 + 128 x 0 − 16 x 0² = 76 ft
s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft
Displacement in 4 seconds = 332 - 76 = 256 ft
Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s
Average velocity in first 4 seconds is 64 ft/s upward
a) Given S(t) = 76 + 128t − 16t²
s(4) = 76 + 128 x 4 − 16 x 4² = 332 ft
s(8) = 76 + 128 x 8 − 16 x 8² = 78 ft
Displacement in 4 seconds = 78 - 332 = -254 ft
Time = 4 - 0 = 4 s
Average velocity in second 4 seconds is 63.5 ft/s downward
