The center of mass of the car with all people seated will be 3.20 m far from the front of the car.

Taking the front of the car as reference:

m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃ = mx

where,

m₁ = mass of empty car = 1300 kg

x₁ = distance of center of mass of empty car from front = 2.45 m

m₂ = mass of 2 people sitting in front = 2 x 60 kg = 120 kg

x₂ = distance of center of mass of 2 people sitting in front from the front    = 2.7 m

m₃ = mass of 3 people sitting in back seat = 3 x 60 kg = 180 kg

x₃ = distance of center of mass of 3 people sitting in the back seat from the front = 3.65 m

m = total mass of car with all people = 1300 kg + 120 kg + 180 kg = 1600kg

x = distance of center of mass of the car from the front when all are seated

Therefore,

(1300 kg)(2.45 m) + (120 kg)(2.7 m) + (180kg)(3.65 m) = (1300 kg)x

x = 4166 kg.m/1300 kg

x = 3.20 m

Therefore, the center of mass of the car with all people seated will be 3.20 m far from the front of the car.

The alarm at a fire station rings and a 87.5-kg fireman, starting from rest, slides down a pole to the floor below (a distance o
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

F_f=840N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight of fireman W_f= 87.5kg

Pole distance D=4.10m

Final speed is V_f 1.75m/s

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2 a d

Therefore Acceleration a

a'= v^2 / 2 d

a'= 0.21m/s^2

Generally the equation for Frictional force F_f is mathematically given as

F_f=m*a

F_f=m*(g-0.21)

F_f=87.5*(9.81-0.21)

Therefore

F_f=840N

Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.

Which of the following choices is a single-replacement reaction? A. 2K + Br2 2KBr B. 2H2 + O2 2H2O C. Mg + FeO Fe + MgO D. C + 2
Otrada [13]
A single replacement reaction occurs when two different cations switch places to combine with the same anion. One element forms a compound while another element is released from the compound. In a single replacement reaction, or single displacement reaction, a single<span> uncombined element replaces another in a compound.

So you're answer is probably c.
