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

Why does the total amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same?
Georgia [21]
The amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same because energy cannot be created or destroyed. From the law conservation of energy; any time energy is transferred between two objects, or converted from one form into another, no energy is created and none is destroyed. The total amount of energy involved in the process remains the same.

What is the restoring force of a pendulum
salantis [7]

Answer:

the Restoring force causes the vibrating object to go slower going further from the equilibrium position and to go faster as it approaches the equilibrium position. the restoring force is what is causing the vibration The tension force comes from the string tugging on the bob of the pendulum.

you ride a bike for 2 hours at 25 km/hr then 3 hours at 34 km/hr. what is your average velocity (in km/hr)?
mamaluj [8]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

30.4 km/hr

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given</u>;

  • Speed in the first 2 hours as 25 km/hr
  • Speed in the next 3 hours as 34 km/hr

We are required to determine the average velocity in km/hr

  • To get the average velocity we divide total distance by total time.
  • Thus, we need to determine the total distance

Distance = Speed × time

Distance covered in the first 2 hours;

               = 25 km/hr × 2 hours

               = 50 km

Distance in the next 3 hours

                = 34 km/hr × 3 hours

                = 102 km

Therefore, total distance = 50 km + 102 km

                                        = 152 km

Total time = 2 hrs + 3 hrs

                = 5 hours

Therefore;

Average speed = 152 km ÷ 5 hours

                          = 30.4 km/hr

Thus, the average speed is 30.4 km/hr

What is the relation between force and acceleration ?​
stepladder [879]

Explanation:

Newton's second law shows that there is a direct relation ship between force and acceleration . the grater force that is applied on a object of given mass the more the accelerate. for example doubling the force in the object doubles it's acceleration.
