Two students are balancing on a 10m seesaw. The seesaw is designed so that each side of the seesaw is 5m long. The student on th

e left weighs 60kg and is sitting three meters away from the fulcrum at the center. The student on the right weighs 45kg. The seesaw is parallel to the ground. The mass of the board is evenly distributed so that its center of mass is over the fulcrum. What distance from the center should the student on the right be if they want the seesaw to stay parallel to the ground? 
a. 4m
b. 5m
c. 2m
d. 3m​

Answer:

Option A. 4 m

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, X is the distance from the centre to which the student on the right must sit in order to balance the seesaw.

Clockwise moment = X × 45

Anticlock wise moment = 3 × 60

Clockwise moment = Anticlock wise moment

X × 45 = 3 × 60

X × 45 = 180

Divide both side by 45

X = 180 / 45

X = 4 m

Thus, the student must sit at 4 m from the centre.

. If she
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, m=40\ kg

Spring constant is, k=176,400\ N/m

Compression in the spring is, x=20\ cm=0.20\ m

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.

What force is necessary to keep a mass of 0.8 kg revolving in a horizontal circle of radius 0.7 m with a period of 0.5 s? What i
inn [45]

Answer:

88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mv²/r................... Equation 1

F = Force needed to keep the mass in a circle, m = mass of the mass, v = velocity of the mass, r = radius of the circle.

But,

v = 2πr/t................... Equation 2

Where t = time, π = pie

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(2πr/t)²/r

F = 4π²r²m/t²r

F = 4π²rm/t²............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 0.8 kg, r = 0.7 m, t = 0.5 s

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 4(3.14²)(0.7)(0.8)/0.5²

F = 88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

What is the period if the block’s mass is doubled? note that you do not know the value of either m or k , so do not assume any p
Oksanka [162]

The period of the block's mass is changed by a factor of √2 when the mass of the block was doubled.

The time period T of the block with mass M attached to a spring of spring constant K is given by,

T = 2π(√M/K).

Let us say that, when we increased the mass to 2M, the time periods of the block became T', the spring constant is not changed, so, we can write,

T' = 2π(√2M/K)

Putting T = 2π(√M/K) above,

T' =√2T

So, here we can see, if the mass is doubled from it's initial value. The time period of the mass will be changed by a factor of √2.

A 600-turn solenoid, 25 cm long, has a diameter of 2.5 cm. A 14-turn coil is wound tightly around the center of the solenoid. If
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The induced emf in the short coil during this time is 1.728 x 10⁻⁴ V

Explanation:

The magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is given by;

B = μ(N/L)I

Where;

μ is permeability of free space

N is the number of turn

L is the length of the solenoid

I is the current in the solenoid

The rate of change of the field is given by;

\frac{\delta B}{\delta t} = \frac{\mu N \frac{\delta i}{\delta t} }{L} \\\\\frac{\delta B}{\delta t} = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7} *600* \frac{5}{0.6} }{0.25}\\\\\frac{\delta B}{\delta t} =0.02514 \ T/s

The induced emf in the shorter coil is calculated as;

E = NA\frac{\delta B}{\delta t}

where;

N is the number of turns in the shorter coil

A is the area of the shorter coil

Area of the shorter coil = πr²

The radius of the coil = 2.5cm / 2 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m

Area of the shorter coil = πr² = π(0.0125)² = 0.000491 m²

E = NA\frac{\delta B}{\delta t}

E = 14 x 0.000491 x 0.02514

E = 1.728 x 10⁻⁴ V

Therefore, the induced emf in the short coil during this time is 1.728 x 10⁻⁴ V
