Let's apply an equation of equilibrium to the situation: The sum of the moments about the left end of the board must equal 0.

We have three moments to add. Positive force values indicate upward direction and negative values indicate downward direction. All distances given below are measured to the right side of the left end of the board:

  1. The weight of the board, -125N, located at 2m (center of the board due to its uniform density)
  2. The tension in the right chain, +250N, located at 4m
  3. The weight of the person, -500N, located at a distance "x"

The sum of the moments must equal 0 and is given by:

ΣFx = 0

F is the magnitude of force, x = distance from the left end of the board

Plug in all of the force and distance values and solve for x:

ΣFx = 250(4) - 125(2) - 500x = 0

500x = 750

x = 1.5m

Matter that is composed of a single element and has all the same physical properties would be a substance

Matter that is made of molecules of all the same type are elements

Two atoms chemically bonded together is a compound

A substance made of two or more types of atoms that are not chemically bonded is a mixture

the last one is correct answer

A source emits sound at a fixed constant frequency f. If you run towards the source, the frequency you hear is
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

increased because as you run into each sound wave the time between each sound decreases meaning the period of each wave decreases to your years and since f=1/T and T is decreasing by greater than 0, f must increase.

Answer:

t = 3/8 seconds

Explanation:

h=-16t^2 - 10t+6

h= 0 when it hits the ground

0=-16t^2 - 10t+6

factor out a -2

0= -2(8t^2 +5t -3)

divide by -2

0 = (8t^2 +5t -3)

factor

0=(8t-3) (t+1)

using the zero product property

8t-3 = 0    t+1 =0

8t = 3         t= -1

t = 3/8     t= -1

t cannot be negative  ( no negative time)

t = 3/8 seconds

A 3 kilogram cat is resting on top of a bookshelf that is 3 meters high. What is the cat’s gravitational potential energy relati
Dafna1 [17]
We have: Gravitational Potential Energy (U) = mgh
Here, m = 3 Kg
g = 9.8 m/s²        [ constant value for earth system ]
h = 3 m

Substitute their values into the expression:
U = 3 × 9.8 × 3
U = 88.2 J

In short, Your Answer would be 88.2 Joules.

Hope this helps!
