(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}

A Circular loop in the plane of a paper lies in a 0.65 TT magnetic field pointing into the paper. The loop's diameter changes fr
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

magnetic filed, B = 0.65 T

initial diameter, d = 17.5 cm

final diameter, d' = 6.6 cm

time, t = 0.48 s

(a) According to Lenz's law, the direction of induced current is clockwise.

(b) Let e is the induced emf.

initial area, A = π r² = 3.14 x 0.0875 x 0.0875 = 0.024 m²

final area, A' = π r'² = 3.14 x 0.033 x 0.033 = 0.00342 m²

change in area, ΔA = A - A' = 0.024 - 0.00342 = 0.02058 m²

The magnitude of induced emf is given by

e=\frac{d\phi }{dt}

e=B\frac{\Delta A }{dt}

e = 0.65 x 0.02058 / 0.48

e = 0.028 V

(c) R = 2.5 ohm

i = e / R

i = 0.028 / 2.5

i = 0.011 A

A defibrillator passes 14.0 A of current through the torso of a person for 0.0300 s. How much charge moves in coulombs?
krek1111 [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

4.2 C

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The charge (Q) moving is the product of the current(I) flowing through the torso of the person and the time taken (t) for the flow.

i.e

Q = I x t

Where;

I = current = 14.0A

t = time taken  = 0.0300s

Substituting the values of I and t into the equation above gives

Q = 14.0 x 0.0300

Q = 4.2 C

Therefore quantity of charge moving is 4.2 C

Atoms with many electron shells will let go of their electrons more easily than those with fewer shells.
Anna007 [38]

True

The more the number of shells will let go of their outer electrons more easily because the effective nuclear charge on the outer (valence) electrons will be lower. This is called 'shielding', the outer electrons will be shielded from the nucleus by the inner electrons.

Hope this Helps
