Answer: 1.8m

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment to solve the question which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

The boy moves in the clockwise direction towards the pivot while the girl moves in the anticlockwise direction towards the pivot.

Since moment = force × perpendicular distance

CW moments = 60×1.5 = 90Nm

ACW moments = 50×x = 50x

Equating both moments to get 'x'

90 = 50x

x =9/5

x = 1.8m

This shows that the girl must sit 1.8m from the other side for equilibrium.:

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v
Anna007 [38]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. For this purpose we will define the speed as the distance traveled in a given period of time. Here the distance is equivalent to the orbit traveled around the earth, that is, a circle. Approaching the height of the aircraft with the radius of the earth, we will have the following data,

R= 6370*10^3 m

v = 219m/s

a = 17m/s^2

The circumference of the earth would be

\phi = 2\pi R

Velocity is defined as,

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

Herex = \phi, then

t = \frac{\phi}{v} = \frac{2\pi (6370*10^3)}{219}

t = 1.82*10^5s

Therefore will take 1.82*10^5 s or 506 hours, 19 minutes, 17 seconds

9. Which of the following characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? A. Water is liquid at roo
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm^3 and the density of the water is 0.9998 g/cm^3.

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.
