Answer:

A rock weighing 50kg should be positioned at a distance of 0.5m from the pivot of the seesaw.

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

We will utilize the formula for torque:

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

The gravitational force acts equally on both objects.

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

We can eliminate gravity from both sides of the equation for simplification.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now employing the given masses for the rock and child. The seesaw's total length is 2 meters, with the child sitting at one end, placing them 1 meter from the center of the seesaw.

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

Solve for the distance where the rock should be positioned in relation to the seesaw's center.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m

V - wind speed;
53° - 35° = 18°
v² = 55² + 40² - 2 · 55 · 40 · cos 18°
v² = 3025 + 1600 - 2 · 55 · 40 · 0.951
v² = 440.6
v = √440.6
v = 20.99 ≈ 21 m/s
Conclusion: The wind speed calculates to 21 m/s.

the flow energy of 124 L/min of a fluid passing a boundary to a system is 108.5 kJ/min. Determine the pressure at this point
serg [3582]

Answer:

The pressure measured at this moment is 0.875 mPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Flow energy = 124 L/min

Boundary to system P= 108.5 kJ/min

P=1.81\ kW

We are tasked with finding the pressure here

Applying the pressure formula

P=F\times v

P=A_{1}P_{1}\times v_{1}

Here, A_{1}v_{1}=Q_{1}

Where, v refers to velocity

Insert the values into the equation

1.81 =P_{1}\times0.124\times\dfrac{1}{60}

P_{1}=\dfrac{1.81\times60}{0.124}

P_{1}=875.80\ kPa

P_{1}=0.875\ mPa

Therefore, the pressure at this moment is 0.875 mPa

To counteract a 58 mph crosswind, the western component of the trajectory must be accounted for. Consequently, directing towards the northwest creates a 45-degree angle, aligning with the destination. This triangle's third vertex is located at the destination, with the right angle positioned there. The western aspect of their flight represents the triangle's base, while the vertical side reflects the resultant path, and the hypotenuse indicates the actual distance traveled. Since the 58 mph crosswind was countered by flying in a northwest direction, the distance from the starting point to the destination should equal the westward segment of their journey. The hypotenuse can be determined via the square root of twice the dimension of the identical sides.
c = sqrt (58^2 + 58^2) = sqrt (6728) = 82.02

An alternative method:

c = sqrt (2) * 58 = 1.414 * 58 = 82.02

Thus, they must fly at 82.02 mph.

Multiply the number 4.48E-8 by 5.2E-4 using Google. What is the correct answer in scientific notation?
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

2.32\times 10^{-11}

Explanation:

The first number is 4.48\times 10^{-8}.

The second number is 5.2\times 10^{-4}.

We must multiply these two numbers together.

4.48\times 10^{-8}\times 5.2\times 10^{-4}=(4.48\times 5.2)\times 10^{(-8-4)}\\\\=23.296\times 10^{-12}

In scientific notation: 2.32\times 10^{-11}

Therefore, this is the solution you are looking for.
