Ricardo, of mass 80 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 30 kg canoe. When the canoe is at r

est in the placid water, they exchange seats, which are 3.0 m apart and symmetrically located with respect to the canoe's center. If the canoe moves 40 cm horizontally relative to a pier post, what is Carmelita's mass?

Answer:

m=57.65 kg

Explanation:

Given Data

Ricardo mass m₁=80 kg

Canoe mass m₂=30 kg

Canoe Length L= 3 m

Canoe moves x=40 cm

When Canoe was at rest the net total torque is zero.

Let the center of mass is at x distance from the canoe center and it will be towards the Ricardo cause. So the toque around the center of mass is given as

m_{1}(L/2-x)=m_{2}x+m_{2}(L/2-x)

We have to find m₂.To find the value of m₂ first we need figure out the value of.As they changed their positions the center of mass moved to other side by distance 2x.

so

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20 cm

Substitute in the above equation we get

m_{x}=\frac{m_{1}(L/2-x)-m_{2}x }{L/2+x}\\m_{x}=\frac{80(\frac{3}{2}-0.2 )-30*0.2}{3/2+0.2}\\m_{x}=57.65 kg

According to the quantum theory of radiation,
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

According to quantum theory of radiation electromagnetic field or electromagnetic  radiation( like light) produce by accelerated charge object and the quantum of EM radiations is photon which has discrete energy. So, EM field can have only certain values of total energy and no other value due the discrete nature of the energy of photon. Hence option B is correct

Light of a certain color has a wavelength of 4.8 x 10-7m. Determine the frequency and color of the light wave.
cluponka [151]

The frequency is 6.3\cdot 10^{14} and it is blue light

Explanation:

The relationship between the speed, the frequency and the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

c=f \lambda

where

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is its wavelength

In this problem, the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda = 4.8\cdot 10^{-7} m

Therefore, its frequency is:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{4.8\cdot 10^{-7}}=6.3\cdot 10^{14} Hz

The wavelength of this wave is

\lambda = 480 nm

And by looking at the table of the wavelengths of the colors, we notice that this corresponds to the blue light, which has a range of wavelength of

[450 - 495] nm

In a collision, a car of mass 1000kg travelling at 24m/s comes to rest in 1.2s calculate
kompoz [17]

Answer:

a. 24,000

b. -20,000 N

Explanation:

a. p = m•v

1,000•24 = 24,000

1,000•0 = 0

∆p = 24,000

b. F = m•a

a = ∆v/∆t

a = -24/1.2

a = -20 m/s²

F = 1,000•(-20)

F = -20,000
