Moment about the pivot must be equal for the seesaw to balance. Initially, the first cat and the bowl are at 2 m from the pivot.
The moment due to cat = 5.3*2 = 10.6 kg.m
The moment due to bowl = 2.5*2 = 5 kg.m
The unbalanced moment = 10.6 - 5 = 5.6 kg.m
Therefore, the 3.7 kg cat should stand at a distance x from the pivot in left to balance the 5.6 kg.m.
That is,
3.7*x = 5.6 => x = 5.6/3.7 = 1.5134 m to the left (on the side of the bowl)
Answer:
It decreases by a factor of 4
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two masses is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1, m2 are the two masses
r is the separation between the two masses
In this problem, the distance between the masses is doubled, so
r' = 2r
Substituting into the equation, we see that the new force is
So, the force decreases by a factor of 4.
Explanation:
Hipparchus had observed and discovered the precession motion of Earth. Due to the precession the axis of the Earth will gradual shift in a cycle of 25772 years. That means the axis will point towards different stars in the celestial sphere and our pole stars will change.
Because of this change in the axis the apparent position of Sun with respect to the background constellation (sun signs) regresses. Because of which the dates associated with the sun signs will be wrong.
The Lamborghini Diablo sports car can accelerate from 0.0
km/hr to 99.2 km/hr in 4.0 seconds. What is the acceleration of this car? Give
your answer in units of kilometers per hour/sec.
To find the acceleration of the car we have to

<span><span>a. </span>A=vf-vi/t</span>
Given are:
Vf=99.2 km/h
Vi= 0.0 km/h
T= 4.0sec
Solution:
A= 99.2 km/h – 0.0km/h / 4.0 sec
A = 99.2 km/h / 4 sec
A = 2.8 km/h/sec
