A seesaw has an irregularly distributed mass of 30 kg, a length of 3.0 m, and a fulcrum beneath its midpoint. It is balanced when a 60-kg person sits on one end and a 78-kg person sits on the other end. Required:
Find a displacement of the center of mass of the system relatively to the seesaw's midpoint.

Examine the nuclear reacti why is this classified as a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical reaction? it is not balanced. a new compound is formed. a change has occurred in a nucleus. a new element has been formed.

Which of the following situations is impossible? a) an object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed east. b) an object has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration. c) an object has constant non-zero velocity and changing acceleration. d) an object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed west. e) an object has constant non-zero acceleration and changing velocity.

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.
