(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}

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

22Ω

Explanation:

if    V ⇒ voltage

      I ⇒ current

      R ⇒ resistance

V = IR

220 = 10 x R

220 / 10 = R

22 = R

How are wave properties and energy related?<br> give me examples
klasskru [66]

Answer:

They don’t ‘represent’ anything, they are properties of the wave.

Depending on the type of wave, we experience them as various phenomena. For example, with a sound wave we experience frequency (or wavelength, which is just another way to describe the same property) as the pitch of the sound. We experience amplitude as the loudness of the sound, although due to the characteristics of the ear, frequency also effects perceived loudness.

If the wave is a light wave, we experience the frequency (wavelength) as the colour of the light, and the amplitude as the brightness of the light.

For many waves, we don’t perceive them at all (e.g. radio waves).

For ocean waves, frequency is the time for each peak or trough to reach us, and amplitude is how tall the wave is.

You are tossing a ball directly up into the air. Before the ball leaves your hand, you are exerting a force directed against the
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

F n = 0.2 N

Explanation:

given,                                      

you are exerting force of 10 N on the ball.

mass of the ball = 1 kg              

acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

normal force on the ball = ?          

normal force is force exerted by the object to counteract the force from other object.                

normal force acting on the ball will be

F n = F - mg                          

F n = 10 - 1 × 9.8                        

F n = 10 -9.8                    

F n = 0.2 N            

Hence, normal force acting on the ball is equal to 0.2 N

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity
alexira [117]
Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.
