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.

Two identical circular, wire loops 35.0 cm in diameter each carry a current of 2.80 A in the same direction. These loops are par
defon

Answer:

The answer is "4659.2 \times 10^{-24} \ N"

Explanation:

The magnetic field at ehe mid point of the coils is,

\to B=\frac{\mu_0 i R^2}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\

Here, i is the current through the loop, R is the radius of the loop and x is the distance of the midpoint from the loop.

\to B=\frac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7})(2.80\ A) (\frac{0.35}{2})^2}{( (\frac{0.35}{2})^2+ (\frac{0.24}{2})^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\

       =\frac{(12.56 \times 10^{-7})(2.80\ A) \times 0.030625}{( 0.030625+ 0.0144)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\=\frac{  1.07702 \times 10^{-7} }{0.0095538976}\\\\=112.730955 \times 10^{-7}\\\\=1.12\times 10^{-5}\ \ T\\

Calculating the force experienced through the protons:

F=qvB=(1.6 \times 10^{-19}) (2600)(1.12 \times 10^{-5})= 4659.2 \times 10^{-24}\ N

A shuttle changed velocity from 5.0 km/s to 11.9 km/s in 0.5 seconds. What is the acceleration of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: The acceleration for the shuttle is 13 800m/s^2.

Explanation:

The answer is required is si unit which is m/s^2.

The first step is to convert to velocity to m/s, 1km=1000m therefore we have to multiply by 1000

5km/s=5000m/s

11.9km/s=11900m/s.

The formula for the acceleration is a=dv/t

a=11900-5000/0.5

a=13 800m/s

Give two examples from the fossil record that show evidence of change in the complexity of organisms over time.
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Fossils tell us when organisms lived, as well as provide evidence for the progression and evolution of life on earth over millions of years.

Explanation:

As the world changes, plants and animals change with it. Aside from a few living fossils, the species we see today are very different from species that lived in the past. Thus, the fossil record can be used to show that organisms changed to meet new conditions. ... This is the result of evolution of species over time.
