A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

400 N 300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

The change in momentum experienced by a object is equivalent to the...

Papessa [141]

Answer: C (impulse acting on the object)

The momentum is defined as it is the impulse acting on the force . Change in momentum is known as Impulse. Impulse is used to increase or decrease the momentum of object.

From Newtons II law

F = m. a

= m. v/t <em>since a = rate of change of velocity.</em>

<em> </em>F . t = m . v

F . t is known as impulse momentum

Artist 52 [7]

For Ethernet, if an adapter determines that a frame it has just received is addressed to a different adapter

a. it discards the frame without sending an error message to the network layer

b. it sends a NACK (not acknowledged frame) to the sending host

c. it delivers the frame to the network layer, and lets the network layer decide what to do

d. it discards the frame and sends an error message to the network layer

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The nodal address has to match the signal message address for it to function well but if the it doesn't match the nodal receiver address, it disregards it.

A test charge of -3x10^-7 C is located 7 cm to the right of a charge of -9x10^-6 C and 20 cm to the left of a charge of +10x10^-

musickatia [10]

Answer:

5.634 N rightwards

Explanation:

qo = - 3 x 10^-7 C

q1 = - 9 x 10^-6 C

q2 = 10 x 10^-6 C

r1 = 7 cm = 0.07 m

r2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

The force on test charge due to q1 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

$F_{1}=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{0}}{r_{1}^{2}}$

F1 = (9 x 10^9 x 9 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.07 x 0.07)

F1 = 4.959 N rightwards

The force on test charge due to q2 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

$F_{2}=\frac{Kq_{2}q_{0}}{r_{2}^{2}}$

F2 = (9 x 10^9 x 10 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.2 x 0.2)

F2 = 0.675 N rightwards

Net force on the test charge

F = F1 + F2 = 4.959 + 0.675 = 5.634 N rightwards
