Answer:

x = 0.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive

          ∑ τ = 0

          60 1.5 - 78 1.5 + 30 x = 0

where x is measured from the left side of the fulcrum

           90 - 117 + 30 x = 0

           x = 27/30

           x = 0.9 m       

In summary the center of mass is on the side of the lightest weight x = 0.9 m

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

Explanation:

Mechanical waves need a material medium to be able to be transmitted, in the case of sound waves, one of the most common media is air, but it is also transmitted in other media in this case, stationery is transmitted.

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

The speed of the wave is proportional to the density of the material, so the wave that the student hears arrives much faster through the desk than through the air

Relate a real life phenomenon with each branch of physics
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Branches of physics with real life examples

In measuring and understanding nuclear fission (a real life phenomenon), all branches of theoretical and experimental physics have to be employed. Physics branches needed in it are, radiation detection and measurement, nuclear physics, statistical physics, thermodynamics, and almost all others.

A student pushes on a 8-kg box with a force of 35 N forward. The force of sliding friction is 10 N backward. What is the acceler
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(35 N - 10 N)/8kg = 3.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula for Force is:

Force = Mass*Acceleration

(Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration)

Since we're told to find the acceleration of the box. We make acceleration the subject of the equation:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

(Acceleration equal to Force divided by Mass)

We know that the force are 35 N forward and 10 N backward, and the weight of the box is 8kg.

= (35 N - 10 N)/8kg

The reason that 35 N minus 10 N is because the 10 N is pushing the box backward.

= 25 N/8kg

= 3.125 m/s^2

Hope it helps :DD
