A 3.1 kg dog stands on an 18 kg flatboat and is 6.1 m from the shore. He walks 2.5 m on the boat toward shore and then stops. As

suming there is no friction between the boat and the water, find how far the dog is then from the shore? The dog moves leftward; the boat moves rightward; but does the center of mass of the boat + dog system move?)

Answer:

The distance of dog from the shore is 3.97 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the dog = 3.1 Kg

mass of the flatboat = 18 Kg

Distance from the shore = 6.1 m

dog moves on boat = 2.5 m

dog moves leftward and boat moves rightward.

If it's a frictionless system with no initial velocity, the center of mass doesn't move. Conservation of momentum, which = 0 in this case.

When dog move toward the shore a reactive force will act on the boat.

m_b x_b + m_d x_d = 0

m_b i and m_d is mass of boat and mass of dog.

x_b and x_d is distance moved by the boat and the dog.

x_b = \dfrac{m_dx_d}{m_b}

neglecting negative sign

x_b + x_d = 2.5

\dfrac{m_dx_d}{m_b} + x_d = 2.5

x_d = \dfrac{2.5}{1+\dfrac{m_d}{m_b}}

x_d = \dfrac{2.5}{1+\dfrac{3.1}{18}}

x_d = \dfrac{2.5}{1.172}

x_d = 2.133 m

The distance of dog from the shore is 6.1 – 2.133 = 3.97 m

The distance of dog from the shore is 3.97 m

During a tennis volley, a ball that arrives at a player at 40 m/s is struck by the racquet and returned at 40 m/s. The other pla
Butoxors [25]

Answer:Racquet force is twice of Player force

Explanation:

Given

ball arrives at a speed of u=-40\ m/s

ball returned with speed of v=40\ m/s

average Force imparted by racquet on the ball is given by

F_{racquet}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

where m=mass\ of\ ball

\Delta t=time of contact of ball with racquet

F_{racquet}=\frac{m(40-(-40))}{\Delta t}

F_{racquet}=\frac{80m}{\Delta t}-----1

When it land on the player hand its final velocity becomes zero and time of contact is same as of racquet

F_{player}=\frac{m(0-40)}{\Delta t}

F_{player}=\frac{-40m}{\Delta t}-----2

From 1 and 2 we get

F_{racquet}=-2F_{player}

Hence the magnitude of Force by racquet is twice the Force by player

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system on the surrounding


In this problem, the work done by the system is

W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.


Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ

HELP. A river flows South with a speed of 8m/s. From the shore, you see a boat moving South with a speed of 10 m/s. From their f
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

18 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of river is 8 m/s due South

From the shore, you see a boat moving South with a speed of 10 m/s. Both boat and river are moving in same direction. The resultant velocity will add up.

v = 10 m/s + 8 m/s

v = 18 m/s

Hence, the rowers are moving with a speed of 18 m/s.
