A man is out fishing with his daughter. They are initially sitting at opposite ends of their 3.00-m canoe, which has a mass of 6

0.0 kg and is at rest in the middle of a calm lake. The man and the daughter then carefully trade places. We will neglect any resistive forces between the canoe and the water.
A)

Use these numbers: the mass of the man is 75.0 kg, and the mass of the daughter is 25.0 kg.

How far has the canoe moved, once the man and his daughter have finished trading places? _______ m

Answer:

s = 0.9375 m (to the left)

Explanation:

We have to find the center of mass in every case

Xcm initial = (75Kg*0m+25Kg*3m+60Kg*1.5m)/(75+25+60)Kg = 1.03125m

Xcm final = (25Kg*0m+75Kg*3m+60Kg*1.5m)/(75+25+60)Kg = 1.96875m

Variation: S = 1.96875m - 1.03125m = 0.9375 m

A block with mass ma = 14.0 kg on a smooth horizontal surface is connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second
Drupady [299]
<span>We can assume that the horizontal surface has no friction and the pulley is massless. We can use Newton's second law to set up an equation. F = Ma F is the net force M is the total mass of the system a is the acceleration a = F / M a = (mb)(g) / (ma + mb) a = (6.0 kg)(9.80 m/s^2) / (6.0 kg + 14.0 kg) a = 58.8 N / 20 kg a = 2.94 m/s^2 The magnitude of the acceleration of the system is 2.94 m/s^2</span>

Why does it take longer to boil a kettle of water than to warm the same kettle of water to a lower temperature?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The reason that it takes longer to get the water to boiling temperature than it is to cool it down again is because heating in the most simple sense is inefficient and will cause a lot if energy lost while cooling is to be turn's into quite a efficient process.

A shopping cart with two nice kids, rolls off a horizontal roof ledge that is 50
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

9.39 m/s

Explanation:

Using the y-direction, we can solve for the time t it takes for the cart to reach the ground.

Assume the up direction is positive and the down direction is negative.

  • v₀ = 0 m/s
  • a = -9.8 m/s²
  • Δy = -50 m
  • t = ?

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains these four variables.

  • Δy = v₀t + 1/2at²  

Substitute known values into this equation.

  • -50 = (0)t + 1/2(-9.8)t²

Multiply and simplify.

  • -50 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.9.

  • 10.20408163 = t²

Square root both sides of the equation.

  • t = 3.194382825

Now we can use this time t and solve for v₀ in the x-direction. Time is most often our link between vertical and horizontal components of projectile motion.  

List out known variables in the x-direction.

  • v₀ = ?
  • t = 3.194382825 s
  • a = 0 m/s²
  • Δx = 30 m

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains these four variables.

  • Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²  

Substitute known values into the equation.

  • 30 = (v₀ · 3.194382825) + 1/2(0)(3.194382825)²

Multiply and simplify.

  • 30 = v₀ · 3.194382825

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.194382825.

  • v₀ = 9.391485505

The cart was rolling at a velocity of 9.39 m/s (initial velocity) when it left the ledge.

Chlorine exist in Nature as two Chlorine atoms covalently bonded together Why does this occur
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

It is one of the 7 diatomics

Explanation:

Br

I

N

Cl

H

O

F

^ these are the 7 diatomic molecules. Atoms of these elements exist as a molecule consisting of two covalently bonded atoms of the same element.

Simply put, for these elements, the diatomic state of the atom is much more stable than the unbound one.
