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 mover pushes a 255 kg piano
faust18 [17]

Answer:

0.495 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law of motion we can apply F=ma hear

Force = mass * acceleration

(assume the piano is moving left side )

←F = ma

F_(pull)+ F_(push)= M*a\\77.5 + 48.7 = 255 *a\\a = 0.495 ms^{-2}

What is the maximum negative displacement a dog could have if it started its motion at +3 m?
raketka [301]

Answer:

- 3 meter

Explanation:

A dog has started motion from +3 meter. ...(Given)

∴ maximum positive distance = + 3 meter

Magnitude of distance = 3

Maximum negative distance = (-) (magnitude of distance)

Maximum negative distance = (-) (3)

Maximum negative distance = -3 meter

Hence, maximum negative distance is -3 meter.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match the sentences with the steps of the scientific method
Assoli18 [71]

Solution:

Make an Observation - An indoor plant in a dark room withers faster than the same plant in a room with ample sunlight.

Ask a question- Why do certain indoor plants die faster based on where they are placed in the house?

State a hypothesis- Sunlight is probably essential for plants to grow and live.

Run an experiment- Get two potted plants. Cover one with black paper. Place both plants outside in sunlight. See what happens to each plant after one week.

Analyze the results-The plant in the pot with black paper withered. The other plant was healthy.

Communicate the results to others - Plants need sunlight to make food so they can live.

A ball rolls up a slope. At the end of three seconds its velocity is 20 cm/s; at the end of eight seconds its velocity is 0. Wha
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\  a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Given data

velocity v₀=20 cm/s at time t=3s

velocity vf=0 at time t=8 s

To find

Average Acceleration at time=3s to 8s

Solution

As we know that acceleration is first derivative of velocity with respect to time

a_{acceleriation} =\frac{dv_{velocity}}{dt_{time}}\\a_{acceleriation} =\frac{v_{f}-v_{o} }{dt}\\  a_{acceleriation} =\frac{0-20cm/s }{8s-3s}\\  a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\  a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}

What is the magnitude of the force needed to hold the outer 2 cm of the blade to the inner portion of the blade?
kaheart [24]

Incomplete question.The complete question is here

What is the magnitude of the force needed to hold the outer 2 cm of the blade to the inner portion of the blade? The outer edge of the blade is 21 cm from the center of the blade, and the mass of the outer portion is 7.7 g. Even though the blade is 21cm long, the last 2cm should be treated as if they were at a point 20cm from the center of rotation.

Answer:

F= 0.034 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Outer=2 cm

Edge of blade=21 cm

Mass=7.7 g

Length of blade=21 cm

The last 2cm is treated as if they were at a point 20cm from the center of rotation

To Find

Force=?

Solution

Convert the given frequency to angular frequency

ω = 45 rpm * (2*pi rad / 1 rev) * (1 min / 60 s)

ω= 3/2*π rad/sec

Now to find centripetal force.

F = m×v²/r

F= m×ω²×r

Put the data

F = 0.0077 kg × (3/2×π rad/sec )²× 0.20 m

F= 0.034 N
