Answer:
1/3 the distance from the fulcrum
Explanation:
On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:
where
W1 is the weight of the boy
d1 is its distance from the fulcrum
W2 is the weight of his partner
d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum
In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so
If we substitute this into the equation, we find:
and by simplifying:
which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.
The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.
The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.
The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .
