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 spring with a spring constant of 110n/m is stretched by 12 cm in the positive direction. How much force is applied to the spri
taurus [48]

The force applied on the spring to stretch it is 13.2 N.

Hooke's law is a law of elasticity discovered by the English scientist Robert Hooke in 1660 that states that the displacement or size of a deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or load for relatively small deformations of an object. When the load is removed under these conditions, the object returns to its original shape and size.

According to Hooke's law, F = k*e

where F is the force on the spring

k is force constant

and e is extension

F = (110)*(0.12)

F = 13.2 N
