(20 points) You are at the center of a boat and have been rowing the boat for a long time. You weigh only 80 kg and your 120 kg

buddy Bubba has been riding at the front of your 60 kg, 4 m long boat. You come to a stop in the water and then switch places. A) What is the center of mass before you switch places

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the first weight be m_ 1 = 80 kg

The weight of the buddy be m_2 = 120 kg

The weight of  Bubba be m_3 = 60 kg

Also, since you and Budda are a distance of 4m to each other, then the length to which both meet buddy will be:

x_1 = x_3 = \dfrac{4}{2} \\ \\ = 2

The length of the boat be x_2 = 4 m

∴

We can find the center of mass of the system by using the formula:

X_{CM} = \dfrac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2+m_3x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{(80 \times 2)+(120\times4)+(60\times2)}{80+120+60} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{160+480+120}{260} \\ \\ \mathbf{X_{CM} = 2.923}

An object is placed a distance of twice the focal length away from a diverging lens. What is the magnification of the image?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

+1/3

Explanation:

The lens equation states that:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

For a diverging lens, the focal length is negative: f=-f

and we also know that the object is placed a distance of twice the focal length, so p=2f

So we can find q from the equation above

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-f}-\frac{1}{2f}=-\frac{3}{2f}\\q=-\frac{2}{3}f

And the magnification of the image is given by

M=-\frac{q}{p}=-\frac{-\frac{2}{3}f}{2f}=\frac{1}{3}

What do you mean by average velocity​
mina [271]

Answer:

Here is the answer. Hope this helps you!

Explanation:

Average velocity is the sum of initial and final velocity divided by 2. I t is the same as total Displacement divided by total time. Average velocity is calculated when the body is in non-uniform motion (also when total displacement and time is not given). The formula is as follows:

u + v/2 = v_{av}

Average velocity = Average speed

during motion in a straight line. therefore, the above mentioned formula can be used for calculating average speed as well, when the direction is one and only the same, that is, during motion in a straight line. The S.I unit remains the same-

m/s.

Since velocity is vector, average VELOCITY is also vector. However, Average SPEED is scalar as speed is scalar. both can be equal only when the distance = displacement and when they are following the same direction of motion.

Which of the diagrams below show forces that would result in a movement of the block to the left?
xenn [34]

Diagram A will result in the movement of the block to the left as a result of the forces.

<h3>What is Force?</h3>

This is referred to an influence which is capable of changing the motion of an object.

Diagram A has equal upward and downward force and left side which is 60N is higher than the right side which has 20N. The block will therefore move to the left.

hallar un numero de dos cifras sabiendo que la suma de las cifras es 12 y que la primera de ellas es el triple de la segunda
Natali [406]

Answer:

93 o 39.

Explanation:

Hola.

En este caso, podemos resolver este problema por medio del planteamiento de las siguientes ecuaciones:

1. Definimos <em>x</em> como el primer dígito y <em>y</em> como el segundo, por lo tanto, como su suma es 12, escribimos:

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 12

2. Ahora, dado que el primer dígito, x es el triple del segundo, escribimos:

<em>x</em> = 3 <em>y</em>

De este modo, podemos resolver para <em>y</em>:

3 <em>y</em> + <em>y</em> = 12

4 <em>y</em> = 12

<em>y</em> = 12 / 4

<em>y</em> = 3

Y para <em>x</em>:

<em>x</em> = 3 <em>y</em>

<em>x</em> = 3 * 3

<em>x</em> = 9

Así, el número puede ser 93 o 39.

¡Saludos!
