1) They are able to balance the torques due to gravity.
The torque is equal fo Force * lever arm.
The force downward is due to gravity, Force = mass*gravity.
Then the heavier student will produce a bigger force downgar and he/she shall shorten the lever arm of his/her side, by placing himself closer to the rotation axis, than the lighter student.
Answer:
The weight of the person has a smaller magnitude.
Explanation:
For an observer in inertial frame of reference for the person in the elevator Newton's Second Law can be written as
Normal reaction acts upwards
Weight acts downwards

Here
N is the normal reaction force
mg is the weight of the person
g is acceleration due to gravity
Answer:
Explanation:
As we stir the pot of soup by a metal spoon which is a conductor, it conducts the heat and starts heating after some time the temperature of the spoon rises and we are not able to hold the spoon and we get burns.
Answer:
A. 39.2 m/s
B. 78.4 m
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Time (t) = 4 s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
A. Determination of the brick's velocity.
Time (t) = 4 s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Velocity (v) =?
v = gt
v = 4 × 9.8
v = 39.2 m/s
Thus, the brick's velocity after 4 s is 39.2 m/s
B. Determination of how far the brick fall in 4 s.
Time (t) = 4 s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) =?
h = ½gt²
h = ½ × 9.8 × 4²
h = 4.9 × 16
h = 78.4 m
Thus, the brick fall 78.4 m during the time.
