Answer:
0.11m
Explanation:
let's assume the boat is of uniform construction
Ignoring friction losses
Also assume the origin is at the end of the boat originally with the heavier person
the center of mass of the whole system will not change relative to the water when the two swap ends
Originally, the center of mass is
85[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 50[3.5] / (85 + 90 + 50) = 1.14m from the origin
after the swap, the center of mass is
50[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 85[3.5] / (85 + 90+ 50) = 1.030m from the origin
The center of mass has shifted
1.14-1.030 = 0.11m
as no external force acted on the system, the center of mass relative to the water will not change. The boat will therefore shift towards the end where the heavier person originally sat
First of all the kinetic energy is when the particles move in continuous random motion.
If the temperature is high the colliding particles will collide more. and if the temperature is low the colliding particles will collide less.
Low temperature result in low kinetic energy
High temperature result in high kinetic energy
Absolute zero is the point where where all molecules have no kinetic energy. It is a theoretical value (it has never been reached).
The Kelvin temperature scale is based on absolute zero being the lowest possible temperature that could theoretically be reached. That is why there is no such thing as a negative Kelvin temperature value.
