ASAP! HELP! A 66.4 kg person sits on the right end of a seesaw, 2.35m from the fulcrum. On the other end, how far from the fulcrum should a 84.2kg person sit to balance the seesaw?
1: 1.92 m
2: 1.85m
3: 2.08m
4: 1.61 m

2. 1.85

Explanation:

the equations weight * distance / other persons weight = distance from fulcrum. so 66.4*2.35/84.2=1.8532 round down to 1.85

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
