Answer:

0.11m

Explanation:

let's assume the boat is of uniform construction

Ignoring friction losses

Also assume the origin is at the end of the boat originally with the heavier person

the center of mass of the whole system will not change relative to the water when the two swap ends

Originally, the center of mass is

85[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 50[3.5] / (85 + 90 + 50) = 1.14m from the origin

after the swap, the center of mass is

50[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 85[3.5] / (85 + 90+ 50) = 1.030m from the origin

The center of mass has shifted

1.14-1.030 = 0.11m

as no external force acted on the system, the center of mass relative to the water will not change. The boat will therefore shift towards the end where the heavier person originally sat

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity
NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\

Remember that

v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t=  (5\sqrt{2} ) ln  \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2}  + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s

Describe J.J Thomson's plum pudding model,and explain how it compares to the modern day atomic theory.​
juin [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The J.J Thomson's plum pudding model establishes that when he researched the atom, he found that electrons are positively charged. Because he observed that electrons were embedded like plums. Electrons are negative. However, compared to the modern-day atomic theory, scientist Ernest Rutherford established that the space between an atom is empty, the nucleus of the atom is positive, and negative electrons have fixed motion paths.
