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

how can there be so many different substances in the world if there are only a few elements that are common? 
LuckyWell [14K]
-- If there are only  <em>10</em>  elements in the universe that can make compound molecules, and a compound molecule can be formed by combining  1,  2,  3, or  4  different elements, then that's already the possibility of  at least 400 different molecules.

-- There are many more than  10  elements that can combine to form compound molecules.

-- Every single "<em>organic</em>" molecule, of which there are thousands, is the combination of <em>carbon</em> with other elements.

-- Most all of the substances that can be distilled out of oil, including the paraffin waxes, the alcohols, gasoline, kerosene, butane, propane, octane, and natural gas, are made of just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, only with different numbers of each one. 

-- Plastics, drugs, rubber, and DNA are examples of molecules that are made of <em>hundreds</em> of atoms.

A sound is produced at one extremity of a metallic pipe of 1000 m of length. A person being at
prohojiy [21]

The sound was repeated because of the phenomenon of echo. The speed of sound in the metal is 800 m/s.

Echo results from the reflection of sound waves. The reason why a sound may be heard twice owes to the phenomenon of reflection which leads to echo.

To determine the speed of sound in the metal;

Length of metal = 1000 m

Time taken between the two sounds = 2.5 s

Using the formula;

V = 2d/t

V = 2(1000)/2.5

V = 800 m/s

64 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) contains 32 g of oxygen. Calculate how much sulfur it contains.
Ghella [55]
In sulfur dioxide, there are 2 oxygen atoms and 1 sulfur atom. As there are 32g of sulfur and 32g of oxygen, that would mean that each oxygen atom would weigh about 16g. Given that, the mass of a single sulfur atom is twice that of a single oxygen atom.
