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

You toss a bowling ball straight up into the air with a speed of 2.1 m/s. How long does it take the bowling ball to reach its hi
lara [203]

Time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point= 0.214 s

initial velocity= Vi=2.1 m/s

Final velocity= Vf=0 as the velocity at the highest point is zero.

acceleration= g= -9.8 m/s²

using the kinematic equation Vf= Vi + at

0= 2.1 + (-9.8)t

t= -2.1/-9.8

t=0.214 s

Thus the time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point is 0.214 s

Which best describes friction in the context of newton's laws?
Pie

Answer:

b

Explanation:

friction needs two objects

the two objects need to touch each other

the two objects need to either have relative movement or, tend to have relative movement urge. (kinetic friction or static friction)

If manuel weighs 375 n and is holding the box. how much force is the floor exerting on him? (include direction)
denis23 [38]
<span> The box is exerting a force of its weight. So we'll use W=mg (Note: you can use the notation F=ma, doesn't matter since weight IS a force.) We can call g negative since it's directed down towards the earth. 
</span>
<span>W = 5kg(-9.8 m/(s^2)) = -49 N 
</span>
<span>Thus, the box exerts a force of 49N downwards. </span>

If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go up in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? If I were to fill
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

a. It would shrink

b. It would expand

Explanation:

a. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, when we go up in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go higher. Since the atmospheric pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the atmosphere are greater than that exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle, this causes the volume of the water bottle to decrease and thus shrinks the water bottle until the pressure balances out

b. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure increases with decreasing altitude, when we go down in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go lower. The water bottle expands until the atmospheric pressure outside equals the pressure inside the water bottle.this causes the volume of the water bottle to increase and thus expands the water bottle until the pressure balances out
