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
Answer:
The initial speed of the ball was 26.2 m/s
Explanation:
When the football player is in the air at his maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero, To obtain the horizontal velocity when the player catches the ball we need to apply the linear momentum conservation theorem:
we need to obtain the time taken to go down.
We have a horizontal displacement and the time taken to stop, so:
so:
Answer:
the rate that the energy of a system is transformed
Explanation:
We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.
Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.
Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.
Answer:
The pressure will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the confined fluid causing a general increase in pressure throughout the container.
Explanation:
This is in line with pascal's law of pressure which states that the pressure exerted on a given mass of fluid is transmitted undiminished to other parts of the fluid.
