A 56 kg boat that is 7.6 m in length is initially 7.6 m from the pier. A 39 kg child stands at the end of the boat closest to th

e pier. The child then notices a turtle on a rock at the far end of the boat and proceeds to walk to the far end of the boat to observe the turtle. 7.6 m 7.6 m How far is the child from the pier when she reaches the far end of the boat?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boat M=56\ kg

mass of Person m=39\ kg

Length of boat L=7.6\ m

Center of mass of boat and child

x_{cm}=\frac{M\times 0.5L+m\times L}{M+m}

x_{cm}=\frac{56\times 0.5\times 7.6+39\times 7.6}{56+39}

x_{cm}=\frac{509.2}{95}

x_{cm}=5.36---1

when child reaches another end of boat, boat is shifted by x cm

Center of mass of the system will remain the same

x'_{cm}=\frac{M\times (x+0.5L)+m\times x}{M+m}

x'_{cm}=\frac{56\times (x+0.5\times 7.6)+39\times x}{56+39}----2      

Equating 1 and 2 we get

509.2=95x+212.8

x=3.12\ m

Find the mass if the force is 18 N and the acceleration is 2 m/s2.
Flura [38]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 9 kg</h3>

Explanation:

To find the mass given the force and acceleration we use the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

where

f is the force

a is the acceleration

We have

f = 18 N

a = 2 m/s²

We have

m =  \frac{18}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>9 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

The height, s, of a ball thrown straight down with initial speed 64 ft/sec from a cliff 80 feet high is s(t) = â16t2 â 64t + 80,
mestny [16]
The height of the ball (ft), measured upward from the ground is
s(t) = 16t² + 64t + 80
where t = time when the ball is in the air.

When the ball hits the ground, s = 0. The time(s) when this occurs is given by
16t² + 64t + 80 = 0
Divide through by 16.
t² + 4t + 5 = 0
(t - 1)(t + 5) = 0
t = 1 or t = -5 s
Reject negative time, so that
t = 1 s

The velocity function is
v(t) = 64 + 32t
When t = 1 s, obtain
v(1) = 96 ft/s

Answer:
The ball hits the ground with velocity 96 ft/s.
