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.
E. The side the girl is sitting on will tilt downward.

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.

What are three observations an astronaut might make while viewing Russia at night
Lunna [17]

1. Physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space.

2. Part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth.

3. An astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.

Hope that it helps :)

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.
