A 60 kg student in a rowboat on a still lake decides to dive off the back of the boat. The studen'ts horizontal aceleration is 2

.0 m/s2 while in contact with the boat. What horizontal force does the student exert on the boat?
a 30N toward the back of the boat
b 120 n toward the front of the boat
c 30 n toward the front of the boat
d 120 n toward the back of the boat

As per the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the boat over the student is equal in magnitude to the force that the student exerted on the boat.

So, calculate the force on the student using the second law of Newton, Force = mass * acceleration.

Force on the student = 60 kg * 2.0 m/s^2 = 120 N.

=> horizontal force exerted by the student on the boat = 120 N

Answer: option d. 120 N. toward the back of the boat.

Of course it is toward the back because that is where the student jumped from..

A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 84.0 cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

v = 2.029 m/s

Explanation:

Given

L = 84.0 cm   ⇒  R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m

m₁ = 0.600 kg

m₂ = 0.200 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = ?

Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).

In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.

then

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J

Ef = Kf + Uf

⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²

⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464

⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464

Since

0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464  ⇒  v = 2.029 m/s

v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.

v₁ = v₂ = v    ⇒  ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂  ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R  ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω

⇒ v = ω*R

Endocrine system immune response
Leviafan [203]
Id say this is more of a biology question or even a psychology question  , well its not a question at all but the endocrine system is a collection of glands that secrete hormones direct to the blood system (circulatory system) to be sent to the desired / target organ , an example of a gland could be the pituitary gland (located towards rear of brain)

To be effective, an exercise program must be?
ExtremeBDS [4]

To be effective, an exercise program must have an aerobic form, portion for strength enhancement, and a stretching part. These three things are essential because they each target specific improvements in your body. For example, aerobics can help you maintain your body’s fitness or make it better. This usually targets your heart rate and ensures that you burn fat while doing so. Second is strength enhancement; this will make sure that your body becomes better – not just in a feeble state. Lastly is stretching, your muscles are like rubber bands. You cannot end or start your exercise program without stretching simply because they can damage your muscles as well. Aside from this, stretching can stop you from shocking your body into a physical activity, which may cause you to lose consciousness or have undue stress and fatigue.

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 790.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h
tester [92]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds
