A 100kg person is sitting on the left edge of his boat in still water at 7.5m from the shore. The boat also has a 100kg mass, is 6. long, and symmetrical shape so that its center of mass is the middle where the whole weight of the boat can be assumed to be acting.
a. How far to the right is the center of mass (CM) of the boat from the shore.
b. How far is the CM of the whole system (person and boat) is located from the shore?
c. Now the person walks to the other end of the boat. Suppose we neglect the external force of friction between the water and the boat, does the CM of the system change? Justify your answer.
d. Calculate how much and which way the boat moves when the person walks to the other end of it.

A person weighing 60 kg is standing at one end of a flatboat so that he is 10 m from the shore ( see fig. below). He walks towards the other end of the boat until he arrives at the middle of the boat. He then finds out he is 1.2 m farther from the shore than before. The flatboat weighs 180 kg and one can assume there is no friction between it and the water. a) How far away...

Things One and Two are sitting in a symmetric boat near the
shore. Originally, each Thing is a third of the way from the end of
the boat he is closest to, and the right edge of the boat is
exactly aligned with the shore, as shown here. Then, eager to get
out, both Things move all the way to the right end of the boat
(i.e., the end nearest to the shore). Assume that the water is
frictionless. If...

Please help! Just part B! Thanks!
Bob, whose mass is 90 kg, is out in a 4 meter long canoe that has a mass of 110 kg. Bob is sitting at the left end of the boat, which is 10 meters away from the shore. For reference, the shore is at x = 0. Suddenly Amy appears on the shore, yelling at Bob that she wants a tug-of-war rematch on solid ground. Bob, terrified of this threat, gets up and...

Romeo (75.0 kg) entertains Juliet (45.0 kg) by playing his guitar from the rear of their boat at rest in still water, 2.70 m away from Juliet, who is in the front of the boat. After the serenade, Juliet carefully moves to the rear of the boat (away from shore) to plant a kiss on Romeo's cheek. (a) How far (in m) does the 79.0 kg boat move toward the shore it is facing? m (b) What If? If the...

A man is out fishing with his daughter. They are initially sitting at opposite ends of their 3.00-m canoe, which has a mass of 60.0 kg and is at rest in the middle of a calm lake. The man and the daughter then carefully trade places. We will neglect any resistive forces between the canoe and the water. Note that you will most likely get different numbers for the different parts below. As usual, a good way to...

A 940-kg horse trailer with essentially frictionless wheels is sitting in a level parking lot. The trailer is 5.1 m long, and its center of mass is at its center. Its passenger, a 480-kg horse, breaks free from its stall at one end of the trailer and walks to the other end. How far does the trailer move relative to the ground? Treat the horse as a point particle.

A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it. One is a 1,875-N forward push by the water on the propeller, and the other is a 1,100-N resistive force due to the water around the bow (a) what is the acceleration of the 1,300-kg boat? m/s 2 (b) If it starts from rest, how far will the boat move in 15.0 (c) What will its velocity be at the end of that time? m/s
