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.:

A would be number 2. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest, will stay at rest and an object in motion, will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. B would be number 3. His Second Law states that <span>the sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration produced by the forces. And, C would be number 1. His Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Hope this helps!</span>

What determines an object’s thermal energy
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

  • The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

  • If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

<em><u>A</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>l</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>I</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>f</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u> </u></em>:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

  • The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

  1. number of molecules in the object
  2. temperature of the object.
  3. thermal energy it has.
