Two people, one of mass 85 kg and the other of mass 50 kg, sit in a rowboat of mass 90 kg. With the boat initially at rest, the

two people, who have been sitting at opposite ends of the boat, 3.5 m apart from each other, now exchange seats. How far does the boat move?

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

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting
IrinaK [193]

Answer:1265 N

Explanation:

Given

acceleration of motorcycle \left ( a\right )=3.5 m/s^2

Velocity \left ( v\right )=90 km/h\approx 25m/s

Air friction and Friction\left ( f\right )=425 N

mass of the motorcycle with rider\left ( m\right )=240 Kg

Applying Forces on motorcycle

F_{engine}-f=ma

F_{engine}=f+ma

F_{engine}=425+240\left ( 3.5\right )

F_{engine}=425+840=1265 N

ss7ja [257]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A corrective action is defined as the action with the help of which a person can avoid a difficulty or problem that he/she was facing earlier.

For example, when the chef checked the temperature of soup using thermometer then it was 120 but his operation's critical limit was 135.

So, to avoid this problem he heated the soup to 165 at 15 seconds following which he got the result as desired.

Therefore, reheating the soup was his corrective action.

Thus, we can conclude that reheating the soup was the corrective action.
