Aperson carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force f1 and the other hand holding it up at .500 m from the end of the plank with force f2 . if the plank has a mass of 20.0 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what is the magnitude of the force f1?

Aman throws a football straight into the air. as it rises, it slows down. which type of energy is the football gaining?

Under the action of a constant force an object accelerates at 7.8 m/s2. what will the acceleration be if (a) the force is halved? (b) the object's mass is halved? (c) the force and the object's mass are both halved? (d) the force is halved and the object's mass is doubled?

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
