A dog, with a mass of 10.0 kg, is standing on a flatboat so that he is 22.5 m from the shore. He walks 7.8 m on the boat toward

the shore and then stops. The boat has a mass of 46.0 kg. Assuming there is no friction between the boat and the water, how far is the dog from the shore now?

Answer:16.096

Explanation:

Given

mass of dog\left ( m_d\right )=10kg

mass of boat\left ( m_b\right )=46kg

distance moved by dog relative to ground=x_d

distance moved by boat relative to ground=x_b

Distance moved by dog relative to boat=7.8m

There no net force on the system therefore centre of mass of system remains at its position

0=m_d\times x_d+m_b\dot x_b

0=10\times x_d+46\dot x_b

x_d=-4.6x_b

i.e. boat will move opposite to the direction of dog

Now

|x_d|+|x_b|=7.8

substitutingx_dvalue

5.6|x_b|=7.8

|x_b|=1.392m

|x_d|=6.4032m

now the dog is  22.5-6.403=16.096m from shore

A sidereal day is the time it takes for
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").

A machine has a mechanical advantage of 4.5. What force is put out by the machine if the force applied to the machine is 800 N?
Ghella [55]

If the machine's mechanical advantage is 4.5, that means that

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force) .

We know the input force, and we need to find the output force.  Rather than wander around the room looking at the floor while our hair smolders, let's try putting the numbers we know into the equation I wrote up there.  OK ?

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force)

Output force = (4.5) x (800 N)

Now dooda multiplication:

<em>Output force = 3,600 N</em> .  

That's exactly what the question asked for.  So we're done !

Waldo gets stopped by the police, and the police officer tells Waldo that she caught him on radar doing 50 miles per hour in a 4
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

He calculated his average speed.

Explanation:

Waldo calculated an average of his speed in 2 hours rather than his speed whilst driving which means instead of doing 50/1 hour = 50 mph, he did 50/2hours which is how he got 25 mph. Hope this helps!
