Hello, I think the solution for the part b has some problem. To calculate the new center of mass, the boy's new position should not be 4.24m as shown in the solution. While the boy walks across the raft, the raft is also moving. The other corner already shift towards the left. I believe the final position of the boy relative to the raft's center should be (x + 2.12) m. Using this in the CM calculation, x = -0.424 m. So the raft moved 2.544m in the direction opposite the boys's displacement. Thanks for your attention.

In the following diagram, a force F acts on a cart in motion on a frictionless surface. The initial and final velocities of each cart are shown. Rank the energy required to change each cart's velocity from greatest to least. A: Weighs 2 kg, 5 m/s to 2 m/s - Change in KE = 1/2*2*(2*2-5*5) J = -21 J B: Weighs 3 kg, 3 m/s to -3 m/s - Change in KE = 1/2*3*(3*3-(-3)*(-3)) J = 0 J C: Weighs 5 kg, 5 m/s to 6 m/s - Change in KE = 1/2*5*(6*6-5*5) J = 27.5 J D: Weighs 4 kg, -1 m/s to 2 m/s - Change in KE = 1/2*4*(2*2-(-1)*(-1)) J = 6 J The answer says that the ranking is C, B, A, D, which doesn't make any sense to me given the calculations I made. Can someo…

Can someone answer this: A critically damped simple harmonic oscillator starts from an amplitude of 5.0 cm and comes to rest at equilibrium 3.5 sec later. The simple harmonic oscillator is made of a .58 kg mass hanging from a spring with spring constant 150 N/m. Assuming the friction force is in the vertical direction, how big is the friction force?

I am trying to understand the answer to this question. If a negatively charged rod is brought near the knob at the top of the electroscope then the electrons in the electroscope will be pushed to the end with the leaves (the knob will assume a net positive charge). If the aim is to finish with a positively charged electroscope then a grounding wire / finger would have to be applied near the leaf end of the electroscope to give the excess electrons a path to earth. The given answer does not specify which part of the electroscope is grounded, but since only the knob is accessible, the rest being in the glass bulb, the implication is that the knob is grounded. It…

I am confused about problem number seven part b in this pdf. http://aplusphysics.com/ap1/Problems/AP1 Momentum.pdf I read the given answer, and I am still confused. I don't know how you are supposed to get 0 m/s for the velocity of the block. Why do you use negative impulse for the block when you use positive impulse for the sphere? When do you use negative impulse? Why don't you use the mass of the entire system, which would be the block and the ball? This has to do with it being elastic/inelastic, but I don't know how you can tell from an impulse graph. Help??

On problem 19(c) of the supplemental questions for AP1 Dynamics I must be doing something wrong with the Trig functions to solve for the tension in each wire, but the problem is not worked out in the answer, it simply says to substitute the appropriate trig functions to solve. Can someone show me the steps for that so I achieve the correct answer? Thanks! AP1 Dynamics 19.pdf

A 0.15-kilogram baseball moving at 20 m/s is stopped by a catcher in 0.010 seconds. The average force stopping the ball is: (A) 3.0x10^-2 N (B) 3.0X10^0 N (C) 3.0X10^1 N (D) 3.0X10^2 N The explanation says that it takes 0.010 seconds for the baseball to accelerate from 0 m/s to 20 m/s, but that doesn't really match up with the question... Is the wording a little weird?
