Answer:
1/3 the distance from the fulcrum
Explanation:
On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:
where
W1 is the weight of the boy
d1 is its distance from the fulcrum
W2 is the weight of his partner
d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum
In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so
If we substitute this into the equation, we find:
and by simplifying:
which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.
They will hit the ground at the same time, as mass is negligible when calculating the acceleration of gravity when there is no air resistance
Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s per second.
Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.
So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.
