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(n) 1100 kg car is parked on a 4◦ incline. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the force of friction keeping the ca
igomit [66]

Answer:

Force of friction, f = 751.97 N

Explanation:

it is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1100 kg

It is parked on a 4° incline. We need to find the force of friction keeping the car from sliding down the incline.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the normal and its weight is acting on the car. f is the force of friction such that it balances the x component of its weight i.e.

f=mg\ sin\theta

f=1100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\ sin(4)

f = 751.97 N

So, the force of friction on the car is 751.97 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

What happens to the atoms that make up hydrogen fuel as it burns?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Get turned Into Water.

Explanation:

Combustion of Hydrogen involves combining oxygen and hydrogen essentially so when oxygen and hydrogen combine water is produced, following chemical equation describes this process.

H_{2} +O_{2}=2(H_{2}O).

Resulting product is two molecules of water.
