Three beads are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side d = 3.4cm. The first bead of mass m1=140gis placed on
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Xcm = 1.95 cm  and Ycm = 1.76 cm

Explanation:

The very useful concept of mass center is

     R cm = 1/M  ∑ m_{i}  r_{i}

Where ri, mi are the mass positions of the bodies from some reference point by selecting and M is the total mass of the body.

Let's look for the total mass

     M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

     M = 140 + 45 + 85

     M = 270 g

Let's look for the position of each point

Point 1. top vertex, if the triangle has as side d

      R₁ = d / 2 i ^ + d j ^

      R₁ = (1.7 cm i ^ + 3.4 j ^) cm

Point 2. left vertex. What is the origin of the system?

      R₂ = 0

Point 3. Right vertex

      R₃ = d i ^

      R₃ = 3.4 i ^ cm

a) The x component of the massage center

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂ + m₃ x₃)

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ d / 2 + 0 + m₃ d)

      Xcm = d / M (m₁ / 2 + m₃)

b)   Let's write the mass center component x

      Xcm = 1/270 (1.7 140 + 0 + 3.4 85)

      Xcm = 238/270

      Xcm = 1.95 cm

c) let's find the component and center of mass

     Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ y₁ + m₂ y₂ + m₃ y₃)

    Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ d + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = m₁ / M d

d) let's calculate

    Y cm = 1/270 (140 3.4 + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = 1.76 cm

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?A. Fluorescent lamps are more
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent

Explanation:

Fluorescent lamps have a number of advantages over incandescent lamps which are given in the options given in A, C and D. The option available in B is a drawback, not an advantage. This is because it can give out and radiate more heat as a result of working at a higher temperature. Hence B option is correct.

The table below lists the speed that sound travels through four different materials.One of these materials is a gas, two are liq
Firdavs [7]

In order to find the solid, you would want the object in which sound travels the fastest

In this case, since in object C, the speed of sound is the fastest, it is the most likely to be a solid

So object C is most likely to be a solid

A 5-kg ball collides inelastically head-on with a 10-kg ball, which is initially stationary. Which of the following statements i
NARA [144]

Answer:

The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball.

Explanation:

In inelastic collision, the total momentum is always conserved after collision but the kinetic energy is reduced.

Momentum is Mass X velocity.

5 kg ball is in motion, while 10 kg ball is stationary; that is zero velocity.

The momentum of 10 kg ball before collision is zero while the momentum of 5 kg ball before collision is more than zero. Therefore, the magnitude of change in momentum will not be equal.

Next possible options are in kinetic Energy

Initial Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Change in kinetic energy = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Change in kinetic energy of 5kg ball = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2

Since the 5-kg ball has initial velocity (u), the magnitude of the change in velocity will be reduced.

Change in kinetic energy of 10kg ball:

the ball is initially at rest, therefore the initial velocity (u) will be zero (0)

Δ K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-0)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

From the solution above, the magnitude of the change in velocity experienced by 10 kg ball is higher than 5 kg ball.

Hence, The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball
