In order to balance the stick on the pivot, the total "moments" must be equal on both sides.  A "moment" is (a weight) x (its distance from the center).

for the 5N weight: Moment = (5N) x (3 cm) = 15 N-cm

for the 12N weight: Moment = (12N) x (5 cm) = 60 N-cm

Sum of the moments trying to pull the stick down on that side = 75 N-cm

Whatever we hang on the other side has to provide a moment of 75 N-cm in the other direction.  We have a 25N weight. Where should we hang it ?  

(25N) x (distance from the pivot) = 75 N-cm

Distance from the pivot = (75 N-cm) / (25 N)

<em>Distance from the pivot =  3 cm </em>

A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.93 s. Find the initial velocity of the ball. The acceleration o
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

initial velocity of the ball, u = ?

The initial velocity of the ball is given by;

v = u + (-g)t

where;

v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0

g is negative because of upward motion

0 = u -gt

u = gt

u = (9.8 x 2.93)

u = 28.714 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Katarina [22]

Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s

Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:

Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?

provide a diverse habitat for many organisms

experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts

store and transport the Sun's heat energy

reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters

Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.

Explanation:

Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.
