A mother and daughter are on a seesaw in the park. How far from the center must the 160.9lb mother sit in order to balance the 6

3.5lb daughter sitting 5.5ft from the center?

Answer:

The mother has to sit 2.17 ft from the center on the other side of the seesaw.

Explanation:

We are trying to find the sum of torques given by the weights of mother and daughter to be zero.

If the torque of the daughter on one side of the pivoting point is given by:

5.5 ft x 63.5 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb

we need that the absolute value of the torque exerted by the mom (160.9 lb) to be the same in magnitude (and of course opposite direction). So we assume that "d" is the distance at which the mother locates to make this torque equal in magnitude to her daughter's torque:

d x 160.9 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb

d = 2.17 ft

I need help in this small question:
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1) The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity is called nuclear energy.

2) It is not renewable because it is an element that has no way whatsoever to regenerate or replicate itself, nor gets created by any natural terrestrial means, neither makes itself available by arriving from outer space (like sunlight). There is a limited amount of it available on the Earth, and every bit you use is a bit you’ll never have available again (as Uranium atoms get destroyed by the fission process).

Hope this helps You

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 0.39 m and a speed
gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{c}{ \lambda}  \\

where

c is the velocity

From the question

wavelength = 0.39 m

c = 86 m/s

We have

f =  \frac{86}{0.39}  \\  = 220.512820...

We have the final answer as

<h3>200 Hz</h3>

Hope this helps you

Holly puts a box into the trunk of her car. Later, she drives around an unbanked curve that has a radius of 48 m. The speed of t
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.544

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of the curve, R = 48 m

Speed of the car, v = 16 m/s

To calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction:

The centrifugal force on the box is in the outward direction and is given by:

F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

f_{s} = \mu_{s}mg

where

\mu_{s} = coefficient of static friction

The net force on the box is zero, since, the box is stationary and is given by:

F_{net} = f_{s} - F_{c}  

0 = f_{s} - F_{c}  

\mu_{s}mg = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{gR}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{16^{2}}{9.8\times 48} = 0.544

Give an example of an animal that has adapted to its environment.
alex41 [277]
The most basic and perhaps powerful example is the fin-tailed fish, whose powerful tail is crucial for mobility, agility, and speed underwater. These adaptations have been underway for millions of years.

What is the thermal energy of an object?
mr Goodwill [35]
The thermal energy of an object is the energy contained in the motion and vibration of its molecules. Thermal energy is measured through temperature. The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.
