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

How do we know the sun rotate
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

From the movement of sunspots, Galileo discovered that sun rotate s on its own axis.

Explanation:

All the sunspots are traveling across the Sun's head. This movement is part of the Sun's general rotation of its axis. Observations also suggest that the Sun does not rotate like a solid body, but rotates differently because it is a gas. Actually the Sun is spinning faster at its equator than at at its poles. The Sun rotates once every 24 days at its equator, but only once every 35 days at its poles. We learn this by observing the movement of sunspots and other solar features pass through the Sun.

Un auto parte desde un lugar a las 6:00 de la mañana con una rapidez de 150 Km/hr a través de una carretera recta. a) ¿Qué dista
Gwar [14]

Answer:

600 km

6 hours

Explanation:

El tiempo que viaja el automóvil de 6 a 10 de la mañana es 10-6=4\ \text{horas}

La velocidad del coche es 150 km/hr

La distancia está dada por

\text{Distancia}=\text{Velocidad}\times \text{Tiempo}

150\times 4=600\ \text{km}

A distancia recorrida a las 10 de la mañana es de 600 km.

Ahora el tiempo que se toma está dado por

\text{Tiempo}=\dfrac{\text{Distancia}}{\text{Velocidad}}

\dfrac{900}{150}=6\ \text{horas}

El tiempo que se tarda en recorrer 900 km es de 6 horas.
