Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.
That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.
(Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).
So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:
<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.
(400) x (1) = (200) x (2)
<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.
(200) x (1) = (100) x (2)
<u>#3).</u>
On one side: (300 N) in the end-seat (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>
On the other side:
(400 N) in the middle-seat (400) x (1) = 400
and (100 N) in the end-seat (100) x (2) = 200
Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u>
These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.
Answer:
I = 8.75 kg m
Explanation:
This is a rotational movement exercise, let's start with kinetic energy
K = ½ I w²
They tell us that K = 330 J, let's find the angular velocity with kinematics
w² = w₀² + 2 α θ
as part of rest w₀ = 0
w = √ 2α θ
let's reduce the revolutions to the SI system
θ = 30.0 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 60π rad
let's calculate the angular velocity
w = √(2 0.200 60π)
w = 8.683 rad / s
we clear from the first equation
I = 2K / w²
let's calculate
I = 2 330 / 8,683²
I = 8.75 kg m
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of the Steelhead(m) = 9 kg
Velocity of the Steelhead(v) = 16 m/s
<u>Calculating the Kinetic Energy:</u>
KE = 1/2mv²
replacing the variables
KE = 1/2 * 9 * (16)²
KE = 1152 Joules
a the atom loses 1 proton to have a total of 34
