Answer:

a rock of 50kg should be placed =drock=0.5m from the pivot point of see saw

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

Use the equation for torque in this equation.

(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)

The force of each object will be equal to the force of gravity.

(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)

Gravity can be canceled from each side of the equation. for simplicity.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now we can use the mass of the rock and the mass of the child. The total length of the seesaw is two meters, and the child sits at one end. The child's distance from the center of the seesaw will be one meter.

(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock

Solve for the distance between the rock and the center of the seesaw.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m

A farm hand does 972 J of work pulling an empty hay wagon along level ground with a force of 310 N [23° below the horizontal]. T
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Option d)

Solution:

As per the question:

Work done by farm hand, W_{FH} = 972J

Force exerted, F' = 310 N

Angle, \theta = 23^{\circ}

Now,

The component of force acting horizontally is F'cos\theta

Also, we know that the work done is the dot or scalar product of force and the displacement in the direction of the force acting on an object.

Thus

W_{FH} = \vec{F'}.\vec{d}

972 = 310\times dcos23^{\circ}

d = 3.406 m = 3.4 m

The U.S. Department of Energy had plans for a 1500-kg automobile to be powered completely by the rotational kinetic energy of a
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

230

Explanation:

\omega = Rotational speed = 3600 rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 6 kgm²

m = Mass of flywheel = 1500 kg

v = Velocity = 15 m/s

The kinetic energy of flywheel is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}6\times 3600^2\\\Rightarrow K=38880000\ J

Energy used in one acceleration

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1500\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow K=168750\ J

Number of accelerations would be given by

n=\dfrac{38880000}{168750}\\\Rightarrow n=230.4

So the number of complete accelerations is 230

HELPPP<br> why is the united states considered energy rich, while japan is considered energy poor
Temka [501]

Answer:

Energy resources can be measured.  They will include the fossil fuels, geothermal and hydroelectric potential, and increasingly the renewable resources.  When the US list is compared to the World it is considered energy Rich.  When Japan's list is compared to the world standard it considered energy poor.  

A changing technology like nuclear fusion could substantially change the assessment.

Japan does not have any substantial, oil, coal, gas, deposits, while the US does.

a 2 meter tall astronaut standing on mars drops her glasses from her nose. how long will the astronaut have before he hits the g
lorasvet [3.4K]
Here,
Height (S) = 2m
Gravity on mars (g) = 3.7m/s^2
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s^2
By the one of the formula of the motion,
S = ut + 1/2at^2
2 = 0 * t + 1/2*3.7*t^2
2 = 1.85t^2
t^2 = 2/1.85 = 1.081
t =1.03s
So, it will take 1.03s long..
