Would the joint center of mass be where the person is walking?

Homework Statement A 45.0-kg woman stands up in a 60.0-kg canoe 5.00 m long. She walks from a point 1.00 m from one end to a point 1.00 m from the other end. If you ignore resistance to motion of the canoe in the water, how far does the canoe move during this process? Homework...

before I took the derivative of the equation, I plugged in the mass, since it's a constant, as well as what "α" is, and I got that a=(1.27*10^-19)(x^-2). I took the derivative of it and got that velocity equals -1.27*10^-19(x^-1) on the integral of 5 to 8.00*10^-10 m. I got the answer to be...

In a), the proton is 8.00 x 10-10m from the uranium nucleus

Homework Statement A proton with mass 1.67 x 10^-27 kg is propelled at an initial speed of 3.00x10^5 m/s directly toward a uranium nucleus 5.00 away. The proton is repelled by the uranium nucleus with a force of magnitude F=α/x^2, where x is the separation between the two objects and α =...

Homework Statement Block A weighs 1.14 and block B weighs 3.66. Block A rests on top of block B and has a cable connecting it to the wall on its right. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces is 0.300. Find the magnitude of the horizontal force necessary to drag block B to...
