A boy of mass 40 kg is on one end of a boat (mass 400 kg, length d). There is a turtle sun-bathing on a rock near the other end of the boat, d-x away from the boy. The boy starts to walk towards the other end of the boat in oder to reach the turtle. As he does so, the boat glides backward due to the absence of external friction from the water. If the boat is too light, it'll glide backward so much that the boy won't be able to reach the turtle even as he reaches the other end of the boat.

a. Neglecting any friction, where is the boy relative to the dock when she reaches the far end of the canoe?
b. Will she reach the turtle (assuming she can reach 1 m outside the canoe)?

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?
