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

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 44 m

Speed = 24 m/s

Angle = 31°

Height = 3.05 m

We need to calculate the horizontal velocity

Using formula of horizontal velocity

u_{x}=u\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

u_{x}=24\cos(31)

u_{x}=20.5\ m/s

We need to calculate the vertical velocity

Using formula of vertical velocity

u_{y}=u\sin\theta

Put the value into the formula

u_{y}=24\sin(31)

u_{y}=12.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{u_{x}}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{44}{20.5}

t=2.1\ sec

We need to calculate the vertical height

Using equation of motion

h=u_{y}t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

h=12.3\times2.1-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.1)^2

h=4.2\ m

We need to calculate the distance by the ball clear the crossbar

Using formula for vertical distance

d=h-3.05

Put the value of h

d=4.2-3.05

d=1.15\ m

Hence, The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m

Why a surface that always have a perpendicular is an equipotential
Mariulka [41]
Answer:

An equipotential surface is circular in the two-dimensional. Since the electric field lines are directed radially away from the charge, hence they are opposite to the equipotential lines. Therefore, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface.
