Answer:

the canoe moved 1.2234 m in the water

Explanation:

Given that;

A man whose mass = 69 kg

A woman whose mass = 52 kg

at opposite ends of a canoe 5 m long, whose mass is 20 kg

now let;

x1 = position of the man

x2 = position of canoe

x3 = position of the woman

Now,

Centre of mass = [m1x1 + m2x2 + m3x3] / m1 + m2 + m3

= ( 69×0 ) + ( 52×5) + ( 20× 5/2) / 69 + 52 + 20

= (0 + 260 + 50 ) / ( 141 )

= 310 / 141

= 2.19858 m

Centre of mass is 2.19858 m

Now, New center of mass will be;

52 × 2.5 / ( 69 + 52 + 20 )

= 130 / 141

= 0.9219858 m  { away from the man }

To get how far, the canoe moved;

⇒ 2.5 + 0.9219858 - 2.19858

= 1.2234 m

Therefore, the canoe moved 1.2234 m in the water

Natural gas, a nonrenewable fossil fuel, is often seen as an alternative fuel in the worldwide transition to a renewable energy
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) Natural gas burns more efficiently and cleanly than other sources of carbon-based fossil fuels, thus contributing to a reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Although fossil fuels such as coal and oil have carbon content, natural gas also has it in smaller proportions, which is why it is a good idea to use it as a transitional fuel. Although natural gas does not have the same specific heat as gasoline, its production is simpler since it does not require the expensive refining processes such as petroleum derivatives, which is why its production is more efficient.

Another facility is the amount of natural gas that is obtained from oil wells, this can be extracted and stored efficiently to prevent its spread into the atmosphere.

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.
alisha [4.7K]
A) 

     It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s
 
     Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

\Delta v=  \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t}  \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2}  \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}


B)
 
     Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}
  
     The angle of impact is given by:

cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}}  \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20}  \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}


If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

A tank with a volume of 0.150 m3 contains 27.0oC helium gas at a pressure of 100 atm. How many balloons can be blown up if each
jekas [21]

Answer:

884 balloons

Explanation:

Assume ideal gas, since temperature is constant, then the product of pressure and volume is constant.

So if pressures reduces from 100 to 1.2, the new volume would be

V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} = \frac{100*0.15}{1.2} = 12.5 m^2

The spherical volume of each of the balloon of 30cm diameter (15 cm or 0.15 m in radius) is

V_b = \frac{4}{3}\pir^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi 0.15^3 = 0.014 m^3

The number of balloons that 12.5 m3 can fill in is

V_2/V_b = 12.5 / 0.014 = 884
