A woman who weighs 500 N stands on an 8.0-m-long board that weighs 100 N. The board is supported at each end. The support force

at the right end is 3 times the support force at the left end. How far from the right end is the woman standing?

Answer:

The woman's distance from the right end is 1.6m = (8-6.4)m.

The principles of moments about a point or axis running through a point and summation of forces have been used to calculate the required variable.

Principle of moments: the sun of clockwise moments must be equal to the sun of anticlockwise moments.

Also the sun of upward forces must be equal to the sun of downward forces.

Theses are the conditions for static equilibrium.

Explanation:

The step by step solution can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you for reading this solution and I hope it is helpful to you.

A car moves in a circular motion and it is subject to a centripetal acceleration of 24 m/s2. If the radius of the circular path
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = v^{2}/r

Thus, centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius. Thus, when radius will double, the centripetal acceleration will be halved.

The wavelength of a certain portion of an electromagnetic wave is 314 nm. what is its frequency and classification?
nadezda [96]

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 9.55 × 1014 Hz and it is classified as ultraviolet.

<h3>What is meant by electromagnetic waves?</h3>

Electromagnetic waves are forms of energy that are invisible and travel throughout the universe. However, some of the effects of this energy are visible. The light that we see is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic waves, or EM waves, are produced by vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, electromagnetic waves are made up of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

<h3>How do you calculate the speed of an electromagnetic wave?</h3>

The wavelength and frequency of any periodic wave are used to calculate its speed. v = λf.

In free space, the speed of any electromagnetic wave is equal to the speed of light, c = 3 *108 m/s.

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 9.55 × 1014 Hz and it is classified as ultraviolet.
