A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a mass-less seesaw. If they both move forward so that they are one-half their

original distance from the pivot point, what will happen to the seesaw? Assume that both people are small enough compared to the length of the seesaw to be thought of as point masses.A. It is impossible to say without knowing the masses.
B. It is impossible to say without knowing the distances.
C. The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward.
D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced.

Answer:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Reason:-

When two kids are balanced, the sum of torques on the seesaw will be zero.

if each kid, reduces their distances by half, then the torque of each kid will be half and the sum of torque of each on the seesaw will be zero.

Therefore the seesaw is balanced

Answer:D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced

Explanation: According to the principles of moment which states that for a body to be at equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

if the mass-less seesaw was initially balanced at a particular distance, it will still be balanced if the boy and the girl move forward to cover half their initial distances from the pivot.

D perfectly depicts the outcome.

marusya05 [52]

The weaknesses of the America government under the articals of confederation in which the Philadelphia mutiny highlighted include:

  • Inability to regulate commerce.
  • Inability to form a military.

<h3>What is a Mutiny?</h3>

This is a rebellious act among group of people in order to oppose a certain authority or government.

The government couldn't give soldiers a good working condition due to lack of funds which led to mutiny.

Continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite with cross-sectional area of 340 mm2 (0.53 in.2) is subjected to a longitudina
Alecsey [184]

(a) 23.4

The fiber-to-matrix load ratio is given by

\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{E_f V_f}{E_m V_m}

where

E_f = 131 GPa is the fiber elasticity module

E_m = 2.4 GPa is the matrix elasticity module

V_f=0.3 is the fraction of volume of the fiber

V_m=0.7 is the fraction of volume of the matrix

Substituting,

\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{(131 GPa)(0.3)}{(2.4 GPa)(0.7)}=23.4 (1)

(b) 44,594 N

The longitudinal load is

F = 46500 N

And it is sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

F=F_f + F_m (2)

We can rewrite (1) as

F_m = \frac{F_f}{23.4}

And inserting this into (2):

F=F_f + \frac{F_f}{23.4}

Solving the equation, we find the actual load carried by the fiber phase:

F=F_f (1+\frac{1}{23.4})\\F_f = \frac{F}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=\frac{46500 N}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=44,594 N

(c) 1,906 N

Since we know that the longitudinal load is the sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

F=F_f + F_m (2)

Using

F = 46500 N

F_f = 44594 N

We can immediately find the actual load carried by the matrix phase:

F_m = F-F_f = 46,500 N - 44,594 N=1,906 N

(d) 437 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the fiber phase is

A_f = A V_f

where

A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2 is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting V_f=0.3, we have

A_f = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.3)=102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2

And the magnitude of the stress on the fiber phase is

\sigma_f = \frac{F_f}{A_f}=\frac{44594 N}{102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=4.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 437 MPa

(e) 8.0 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the matrix phase is

A_m = A V_m

where

A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2 is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting V_m=0.7, we have

A_m = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.7)=238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2

And the magnitude of the stress on the matrix phase is

\sigma_m = \frac{F_m}{A_m}=\frac{1906 N}{238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=8.0\cdot 10^6 Pa = 8.0 MPa

(f) 3.34\cdot 10^{-3}

The longitudinal modulus of elasticity is

E = E_f V_f + E_m V_m = (131 GPa)(0.3)+(2.4 GPa)(0.7)=41.0 Gpa

While the total stress experienced by the composite is

\sigma = \frac{F}{A}=\frac{46500 N}{340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2}=1.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 0.137 GPa

So, the strain experienced by the composite is

\epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}=\frac{0.137 GPa}{41.0 GPa}=3.34\cdot 10^{-3}

Determine e when I = 0.50 A and R = 12 W.
sammy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "24 V".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Current,

I = 0.50 A

Resistance,

R = 12 W

As we know,

⇒ I = 0.5\times (\frac{E}{2R})

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ 0.5= (\frac{E}{4\times 12} )

⇒ 0.5= (\frac{E}{48} )

⇒   E=24 \ V
