Two boys want to balance a seesaw perfectly. One boy weighs 120 pounds and is sitting four feet from the fulcrum. The other boy

weighs 80 pounds. Where should the lighter boy sit to balance the seesaw?

Basically a distance multiplied by a weight that is equal to the distance that is going to be multiplied by the weight. (for the equation we will use X for the distance).

equation: 4 x1 20 = ? x 80

Now step one: 4(120) = X(80)  

Or another way is 480 = 80X  

480/80 = X  

48/8= X  

X = 6

I hope this could help! Sorry if it didn't make much sense otherwise!

It would be water because if you freeze it than you will still be able to see it and if you boil it than you will be able to see it disappear.

One component of a metal sculpture consists of a solid cube with an edge of length 38.9 cm. The alloy used to make the cube has
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of edge = 38.9 cm

Density \rho= 7.15 \times10^{3}\ kg/m^3

We need to calculate the volume of cube

Using formula of volume

V = 38.9^3

V=0.058863\ m^3

We need to calculate the mass of the cube

Using formula of density

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

m = V\times\rho

m =0.058863\times7.15 \times10^{3}

m=420.8\ kg

Hence, The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

A child on a playground swing is swinging back and forth (one complete oscillation) once every four seconds, as seen by her fath
Sati [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Solution:-

- According to the law of relativity the relative speed between two moving objects is inversely proportional to the the time taken.

- Ignoring Doppler Effect.

- So if the relative speeds of two objects in motion i.e ( swing and spaceship) are positive then the time frame of reference for both object relative to other other decreases. So in other words if spaceship approaches the swing i.e relative velocity is positive then the time period of oscillation observed would be less than actual i.e less than 4 seconds.

- Similarly, if spaceship moves away from the swing i.e relative velocity is negative then the time period of oscillation observed would be more than actual i.e more than 4 seconds.
