Answer:

Answer: Say the big boy is 40kg and the small boy is 20kg... ... ...then by the rule that moments around a fulcrum or pivot should be equal for equilibrium, the distance of big boy from pivot=half of dist of small boy from pivot

Answer:

If the big boy weighs 30 kilograms and the small boy weighs 15 kilograms, the distance between the two boys must be equal for equilibrium, hence the big boy's distance from the pivot must be half of the small boy's distance.

A .5kg bird is perched on its nest so that it has 50J of potential energy. how far is it off the of the ground?
pshichka [43]

It is 10.20 m from the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

P. E = m \times g \times h

where m is the is mass in kg;  g  is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s  and  h  is height in meters.

PE is the Potential Energy.

Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.

Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

P. E = m \times g \times h

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h

50 = 4.9 × h

h = \frac {50} {4.9}

h = 10.20 m

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.4 \({\rm m}\) . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than t
blondinia [14]

Answer:

120 m

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m

pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)

The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect

τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)

Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance

First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'

f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x 10^{8} m/s)

f= 3 x 10^{8} / 2.4

f=1.25 x  10^{8} hz.

As, T= 1/f

time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x  10^{8}

T= 8 x 10^{-9} s

It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T

τ= 100 x 8 x 10^{-9} => 800 x 10^{-9} s

From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:

x_{min}= τc/2 =>  (800 x 10^{-9} x 3 x 10^{8})/2

x_{min}=120m
