An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If

the daughter sits 0.20 m
from the left end, how far from the right end would the father have to sit for the see-saw to be in balance? (g = 10)

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

The frequency of a physical pendulum comprising a nonuniform rod of mass 1.15 kg pivoted at one end is observed to be 0.658 Hz.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The rotational inertia of the pendulum around its pivot point is 0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}.

Explanation:

The angular frequency of a physical pendulum is measured by the following expression:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{I_{o}} }

Where:

\omega - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

m - Mass of the physical pendulum, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational constant, measured in meters per square second.

d - Straight line distance between the center of mass and the pivot point of the pendulum, measured in meters.

I_{O} - Moment of inertia with respect to pivot point, measured in kg\cdot m^{2}.

In addition, frequency and angular frequency are both related by the following formula:

\omega =2\pi\cdot f

Where:

f - Frequency, measured in hertz.

If f = 0.658\,hz, then angular frequency of the physical pendulum is:

\omega = 2\pi \cdot (0.658\,hz)

\omega = 4.134\,\frac{rad}{s}

From the formula for the physical pendulum's angular frequency, the moment of inertia is therefore cleared:

\omega^{2} = \frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{I_{o}}

I_{o} = \frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{\omega^{2}}

Given that m = 1.15\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, d = 0.425\,m and \omega = 4.134\,\frac{rad}{s}, the moment of inertia associated with the physical pendulum is:

I_{o} = \frac{(1.15\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.425\,m)}{\left(4.134\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}

I_{o} = 0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}

The rotational inertia of the pendulum around its pivot point is 0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}.

How long would it take an object to reach the ground from the top of a building that is 470 feet tall? Round to the nearest tent
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

It would take the object 5.4 s to reach the ground.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time

Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0:

0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²

Solving for t:

-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²

-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²

t = 5.4 s

Soccer ball is heading east positive direction with momentum of 2kgm/s. It is kicked backwards and a fraction of a second later
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

-4.3 kgm/s

Explanation:

Impulse which the soccer ball experiences is equal to the change in momentum of a body.

It is given mathematically as:

Impulse = m*Δv = mv - mu

Initial momentum of soccer ball = 2 kgm/s

Final momentum of the soccer ball = -2.3 kgm/s

Therefore, Impulse will be:

Impulse = -2.3 - 2

Impulse = -4.3 kgm/s

The impulse put on the soccer ball by the kicker is -4.3 kgm/s.

a minute later the green car is traveling 60 miles per hour north, the blue car traveling 60 miles per hour south how is the gre
Zanzabum

Answer:

A) The green cars's velocity has the same magnitude as the blue car's velocity.

B) the difference about their velocity is the direction of the velocity which is 180° in the opposite directions.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size, and the direction shows the path the motion takes.

Both cars have the same magnitude but different directions. The difference in their direction is at a 180°angle.
