Three small but dense objects are located in the x-y plane as shown in the figure. The objects have the following masses: mA = 3
.19 kg, mB = 2.55 kg and mC = 1.41 kg. Determine the x and the y coordinates of the center of the mass of this system. The objects are small in size, they can be treated as point masses.
The x and the y coordinates of the center of the mass of this system will be 43.1 m and 3.12 m respectively.
<h3>What is the center of mass?</h3>
A location is established in relation to an object or set of objects in the center of mass. It is the system's average position across all of its components.
Given data;
There are three little objects that are densely spaced out in the x-y plane.;
The value of the masses
m₁=1.41 kg
m₂=2.55 kg
m₃=3.19 kg
Hence, the x and the y coordinates of the center of the mass of this system will be 4.31 m and 3.12 m respectively.
I don't think so, because in order to produce an image, you need a surface behind the mirror. The light will hit the mirror, then it will bounce it back in your eyes and you see the image.
