Answer:

The cat must stand 0.96 m from the left side of the pivot to keep the seesaw balanced.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the cat, m₁ = 5.2 kg

mass of the tuna, m₂ = 2.5 kg

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

Apply the following approach;

                                                                   

                  x m                      <-------------2m ---------->              

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

                  ↓                         2m                                 ↓

                 5.2 kg                                                      2.5 kg

Apply the principle of moment; anticlockwise moment = clockwise moment.

5.2(x ) = 2.5(2)

5.2x = 5

x = 5/5.2

x = 0.96 m

Therefore, the cat must stand 0.96 m from the left side of the pivot to keep the seesaw balanced.

Which represents the net force
ipn [44]

Answer:

The net force is 500N downwards

Explanation:

When Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.  

Fp = 5500N

Fg = 6000N

because the force of gravity is more than the force of the pull.

Fnet = Fg - Fp = 6000N - 5500N = 500N

And, the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the larger force.

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

3.00 m^3 of water is at 20.0°C.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9m^3

Explanation:

Given data

volume  v1=  3m^3

volume  v2=  ???

Temperature T1= 20.0°C.

Temperature T2= 60.0°C.

Applying the relation for temperature and volume

V1/T1= V2/T2

substitute

3/20= V2/60

3*60= V2*20

180= 20*V2

180/20= V2

V2= 9m^3

Hence the final volume is 9m^3
