Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20

.0 kg. Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg. Initially, the log and the two friends are at rest relative to the shore. Burt then offers Ernie a cookie, and Ernie walks to Burt's end of the log to get it. Relative to the shore, what distance has the log moved by the time Ernie reaches Burt? Ignore any horizontal force that the water exerts on the log, and assume that neither friend falls off the log.

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m

When a beam of light is incident on a surface, it delivers energy to the surface. The intensity of the beam is defined as the en
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Kg

Explanation:

Given that the definition of intensity is:

The intensity of the beam is defined as the energy delivered per unit area per unit time. That is,

I =( E × t)/A

Which can expressed as

I = J/m^2/s

The S.I Units of

Energy is Joule = kgm^2s^-1

Area A = m^2

Time t = s

Intensity I = kgm^2s^-1 × m^-2 × s

Intensity I = kg

The cubic metres and seconds are cancelled out

Therefore, the S.I units of intensity is kg

What at the bottom of the ocean? take that! detailed answer!!!
victus00 [196]

Answer: Essentially, no one is certain of the things that lie at the bottom of the sea. The oceans deepest darkest deep depths have proven more challenging to reach than traveling to the moon. In all of human history, 12 people have reached the moon, while only three have reached the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean: the Challenger Deep. The deepest point- located within the Marina Trench, reaches nearly 10,000 meters deep- beyond the depths which light can reach.
