Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
The change in speed of this object is 3m/s
According to Newton's second law;
F = ma
F = mv/t
Given the following parameters
Force F = 8.0N
mass m = 16kg
time t = 4.0s
Required
speed v
Substitute the given parameters into the formula
v = Ft/m
v = 8 * 6/16
v = 48/16
v = 3m/s
Hence the change in speed of this object is 3m/s
