Ricardo, mass 85 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 20 kg canoe. When the canoe is at rest

in the placid water, they exchange seats, which are 3.0 m apart and symmetrically located with respect to the canoe's center. Ricardo notices that the canoe moved 35 cm relative to a submerged log during the exchange and calculates Carmelita's mass, which she has not told him. What is it?

Answer:

65.14925 kg

Explanation:

Center of mass before the exchange

X_{c1}=\dfrac{0+1.5\times 20+3\times 85}{85+20+x}

Center of mass after exchange

X_{c2}=\dfrac{0.35\times 85+(0.35+1.5)\times 20+(3+0.35)\times x}{85+20+x}

The center of mass remains constant so X_{c1}=X_{c2}

\dfrac{0+1.5\times 20+3\times 85}{85+20+x}=\dfrac{0.35\times 85+(0.35+1.5)\times 20+(3+0.35)\times x}{85+20+x}\\\Rightarrow 1.5\times 20+3\times 85=0.35\times 85+(0.35+1.5)\times 20+(3+0.35)\times x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.5\times 20+3\times 85-0.35\times 85-(0.35+1.5)\times 20}{3+0.35}\\\Rightarrow x=65.14925\ kg

Mass of Carmelita is 65.14925 kg

What magnification would be obtained if an eyepiece with a focal length of 0.38 m was placed on telescope?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the telescope's focal length was not provided. The formula to be used here is

Magnification = telescope's focal length/eyepiece's focal length

The eyepiece's focal length was provided in the question as 0.38 m.

NOTE: Magnification can be described as the power of an instrument (in this case telescope) to enlarge an object. It has no unit and thus the two focal lengths mentioned in the formula above must be in the same unit (preferably meters since one of them is in meters already).

Tudy the images about geologic time.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era is well known and most famous because of the rule of the dinosaurs which were the dominant animals for most of this are. Also, it is the era in which the mammals appeared, though they lived in the shadows of the dinosaurs and only became dominant after their extinction. Another important evolution that took place and is not mentioned very often is the appearance of the first flowering plants. This was a revolutionary trait for the plants, and it helped them to survive in the changing climate on Earth. Soon this trait enabled this type of plants to spread out significantly and to become one of the most dominant organisms on the planet in the following era.
