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.
Answer:
Sound intensity levels are quoted in decibels (dB) much more often than sound intensities in watts per meter squared. Decibels are the unit of choice in the scientific literature as well as in the popular media. The reasons for this choice of units are related to how we perceive sounds. How our ears perceive sound can be more accurately described by the logarithm of the intensity rather than directly to the intensity. The sound intensity level β in decibels of a sound having an intensity I in watts per meter squared is defined to be β(dB)=10log10(II0)β(dB)=10log10(II0), where I0 = 10−12 W/m2 is a reference intensity. In particular, I0 is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz. Sound intensity level is not the same as intensity. Because β is defined in terms of a ratio, it is a unitless quantity telling you the level of the sound relative to a fixed standard (10−12 W/m2, in this case). The units of decibels (dB) are used to indicate this ratio is multiplied by 10 in its definition. The bel, upon which the decibel is based, is named for Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone.

The phenomenon which is responsible for this effect is called diffraction.
Diffraction is the ability of a wave to propagate when it meets an obstacle or a slit. When the wave encounters the obstacle or the slit, it 'bends' around it and it continues propagate beyond it. A classical example of this phenomenon is when a sound wave propagates through a wall where there is a small aperture (as in the example of this problem)
Answer:A- Gamma rays
Explanation:
Gamma rays are most dangerous among all the given rays because it has the highest frequency i.e. high penetrating tendency. They can also pass through bones and teeth and this is the reason for their potential hazard.
They can destroy the living cell, initiate gene mutation and can cause cancer.
But they can also be used for destroying cancer cells.
