In Figure (a), a 3.1 kg dog stands on a 18 kg flatboat at a distance D = 8.2 m from the shore. He walks 1.2 m along the boat toward
shore and then stops. Assuming no friction between the boat and the water, find how far the dog is then from the shore. (Hint: See
Figure (b). The dog moves leftward and the boat moves rightward, but does the center of mass of the boat + dog system move?)

(a) Where is the center of mass of the two children relative to the center of the seesaw? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (b) The older sister moves so that the center of mass of the two children is directly above the center of the seesaw. How far did she move and in which direction? Did she move closer to or further from the center? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds?arrow_forwardWhere is the center of mass of a semicircular wire of radius R that is centered on the origin, begins and ends on the x axis, and lies in the x, y plane?arrow_forward

The center of mass of each individual meterstick is at its midpoint, and the mass of each meterstick is m. a. Where is the center of mass of the two-stick system as depicted in the figure, with the origin located at the intersection of the sticks? b. Can the two-stick system be balanced on the end of your finger so that it remains lying flat in front of you in the orientation shown? Why or why not? FIGURE P10.18 (a) The center of mass of the stick on the x axis would be at (0.5 m, 0), and the center of mass of the stick on the stick on the y axis be at (0, 0.5 m), assuming the sticks are uniform. We can then use Equation 10.3 to find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass. xCM=1Mj=1nmjxj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25myCM=1Mj=1nmjyj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25m The location of the center of mass is (0.25m,0.25m) (b) No. The location of the center of mass is not located on the object, so your finger would not be in contact with the object. In a different orientation, balancing by applying a force at the center of mass might be possible, but not in the orientation shown.arrow_forward
