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.

Answer:

John Dalton

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory was the foundation for a new understanding of chemical structures. He proposed that matter was constituted by indivisible and indestructible particles "atoms." He theorized that all atoms of a particular substance were equal, and the atoms of different substances had atoms of different sizes and masses.

He also proposed that all compounds of elements were combinations of elements but in a very precise ratio.
