A 40. 0-kg child stands at one end of a 40. 0-kg boat that is 4. 00 m in length. The boat is initially 3. 00 m from the pier. The child notices a turtle on a rock near the far end of the boat and proceeds to walk to that end to catch the turtle. Neglecting friction between the boat and the water, where is the child relative to the pier when he reaches the far end of the boat?.

Respuesta :

When the boy reaches the far end of the boat, his position in relation to the pier is 61.5 m away.

Explain about the friction?

The force produced when two surfaces slide against and touch one another is referred to as frictional force. There are a few things that affect the frictional force: The surface texture of these forces and the amount of force pressing them together have the biggest impact.

The imperfections on the two surfaces in contact, friction is produced. Small irregularities can be found on even the smoothest surfaces, and when two surfaces interact with one another, they cause friction.

Two surfaces interacting produces the common force known as friction. This interaction raises the heat energy of the two surfaces as they slide against one another (the temperature goes up).

Boat mass M = 40 kg

The child weighs 40kg.

3 meters separate the boat's near end from the pier.

Boat length is 4 meters.

= 40 *(3/2) + 40 *3/ 40+ 40

= 60 +120/ 80

=61.5 meter
