Two children are balanced on a seesaw that has a mass of 18.0 kg. The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the

pivot. The center of mass of the seesaw is 0.133 m from the pivot (on the side of the first child). (a) If the second child has a mass of 34.4 kg, how far (in m) is she from the pivot

Answer:

1.28 m

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram attached,

According to the principle of moment,

For a body at equilibrium,

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Taking moment about the pivot,

W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1

Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.

But,

W = mg

Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body

Therefore,

W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,

Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N

W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N

Substitute these values into equation 1

(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)

407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x

337.12x = 431.1412

x = 431.1412/337.12

x = 1.2789

x ≈ 1.28 m

A swimming pool has the shape of a box with a base that measures 30 m by 10 m and a uniform depth of 2.5 m. How much work is req
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

18,375 kJ

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Density of water: 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Dimensions of pool = 30m × 10m × 2.5m

Depth of pool = 2.5 m

First we need to find the mass of the water in the pool:

Density = mass/volume

Mass = density * volume

Since the pool is full of water, the volume of the water is equal to the volume of the pool:

Volume = 30 * 10 * 2.5 = 750 m³

Mass = 1000 * 750

Mass = 750,000 kg

We can now find the force required to pump the water out of the pool:

F = m * g

Where m = mass of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

F = 750,000 * 9.8 = 7,350,000 N

The work needed to be done is the product of the force required by the distance the water would need to move to be pumped out (depth of pool):

Work = F * d

Work = 7,350,000 * 2.5

Work = 18,375,000 J = 18,375 kJ

What is the force needed to give a .25 kg arrow an acceleration of 196m/s2?
Rzqust [24]
<span>49N is the force needed to give a .25 kg arrow an acceleration of 196m/s2. F =ma ⇒ =( 0.25kg)(196m/s2) = 49N if the arrow is shot horizontally where the applied force is entirely in the x-direction.</span>

1. What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 20 Km/hr to 100 km/hr in 8 seconds?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

10 :)

You have to divide the difference of speed and divide it by the time. So 100-20 would be 80, and if you divide that by 8 it would be 10.

Hope this helps.

dangina [55]
I would say that insofar as the two stars temperatures are presumably closely related to their luminosity, that the blue star at 156,100 k compared to 3000k for the red star then the blue star has a luminosity of 52 times that of the red star.
