Answer:
1/3 the distance from the fulcrum
Explanation:
On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:
where
W1 is the weight of the boy
d1 is its distance from the fulcrum
W2 is the weight of his partner
d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum
In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so
If we substitute this into the equation, we find:
and by simplifying:
which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.
Answer:
The net friction force is 8.01 N
Explanation:
Net friction force = mass of hockey puck × acceleration
From the equations of motion
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v = 40 m/s
u = 0 m/s (puck was initially at rest)
s = 30 m
40^2 = 0^2 + 2×a×30
60a = 1600
a = 1600/60 = 26.7 m/s^2
The acceleration of the puck is 26.7 m/s^2
Net friction force = 0.3 × 26.7 = 8.01 N
The time required for a moon to orbit around the earth is about 27-28 days
In order for lunar eclipse to occur the line that should be formed is:
Sun-Earth-Moon
because earth is making shade on moon
in order for solar eclipse to occur the line is now:
Sun-Moon-Earth
because moon is making a shade on earth (blocking sun = solar eclipse)
Therefore moon needs to make half of its orbit to go from behind the earth to in front of the earth.
28/2 = 14
Answer is 14
