An 8.0-meter-long canoe of mass MC = 220 kg is oriented perpendicular to the shore with the nearside 20.0 meters from the shore. Two persons, with mass MA = 75.0 kg and MB = 60.0 kg, atopposite ends of the canoe exchange places with person A initially located at the near-side. How faris the near side to the shore after A and B exchange places?
Two ice skaters, with masses of 75 kg and 55 kg, stand facing each other on a 15-m-wide frozen river. The skaters push off against each other, glide backward straight toward the river’s edges, and reach the edges at exactly the same time. How far did the 75 kg skater glide?
Three people of roughly equal masses on a lightweight banana boat sit along the x axis at positions xA = 1.0 m, xB = 5.0 m, and xc = 6.0 m, measured from the left-hand end. Find the position of the cm. Ignore the boat’s mass.
A hiker inspects a tree frog sitting on a small stick in his hand.Suddenly startled, the hiker drops the stick from rest at aheight of 1.85 m above the ground and, at the same instant,the frog leaps vertically upward, pushing the stick down sothat it hits the ground 0.450 s later. Find the height of the frogat the instant the stick hits the ground if the frog and the stickhave masses of 7.25 g and 4.50 g, respectively. (Hint: Find thecenter-of-mass height at t = 0.450 s for the frog–stick systemand then use the definition of center of mass to solve for thefrog’s height.)
