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.

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 5.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer

given,

initial velocity of skateboard = 5.1 m/s

angle above the horizontal = 55°

height of the ramp = 1 m

a) maximum height of projectile

  H = \dfrac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}

  H = \dfrac{5.1^2\times sin^2 55^0}{2\times 9.81}

         H =  0.889 m

the maximum height of the skateboard above the ground

         = 1 + 0.889

         = 1.889 m

b) time to reach the height

   t = \dfrac{u\ sin\theta}{g}

   t = \dfrac{5.1\ sin55^0}{9.8}

          t = 0.426 s

horizontal distance = u cos θ × t

                                = 5.1 × cos 55° × 0.426

horizontal distance = 1.25 m

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?
frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

3000 N is exerted for 4.0 seconds on a 9500 kg object.<br><br> What is the change in momentum?
WARRIOR [948]
Force is the change in momentum over a specific time. The change of momentum is therefore the force multiplied by the time that the force acts, so 3000x4.0=12000 N s=12000 kg m/s

Two cars are traveling in the same direction down a highway at 65 miles per hour. What is the relative velocity of the second ca
Levart [38]

Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.

The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.

<em>D=S×T </em>

The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.

The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.

The two distances differ by 40 miles.

58x−50x=40

8x=40

x=5 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A second method:

The difference in the distances is 40 miles

The difference in the speeds is #8mph.

The time to make up the 40 miles= \frac{40}{8}=5 hours

A(n ___ is used to determine where an implanted electrode is to be placed in a brain in 3-dimensions.
Fynjy0 [20]
A stereotaxic atlas is used to determine where an implanted electrode is to be placed in a brain in 3-dimensions. A stereotaxic atlas is used for doing a stereotactic surgery in order to cure the disorder occurred in the brain. This tool increase the accuracy, reliability, and the measurement of the brain because it gives the accurate brain map<span>.</span>
