Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.5 kg at (

0.0, 3.3) m, and 4.0 kg at (2.8, 0.0) m. Where should a fourth object of 7.1 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0.0, 0.0) m?

Answer:  x = -1.6  y= -1.2

Explanation:

By definition the x- and –y coordinates of the center of mass for a discrete set of bodies, are given by the following expressions:

Xi = ∑ mi. xi  / ∑ mi

Yi = ∑ mi. yi  / ∑ mi

In order to the x- and –y coordinates of the center of mass of all the system, be (0, 0),

both num.erators in the Xi, Yi expressions must be equal to 0.

So, replacing by the values, and taking into account that the 5.0 Kg is located in the origin, we can write the following:

Xi = 2.8 . 4 Kg + X4 . 7.1 Kg = 0   → X4 = -1.6

Yi = 3.3 . 2.5 Kg + Y4 . 7.1 Kg = 0  → Y4 = -1.2

A block has a volume of 0.09 m3 and a density of 4,000 kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the block in water?
12345 [234]

                                       Density = (mass) / (volume)

                                4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

Multiply each side
by  0.09 m³ :           (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass

                                 mass = 360 kg .

Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

                           = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                           = (360 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                           =   3,528 newtons . 

That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it.  It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).

Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity.  That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.

The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water.  Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water.  The weight
of that water is  (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.

So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh

       (3,528  -  882) = 2,646 newtons  (about 595.2 pounds) .

But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water".  The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.

Kitty [74]
If the amount of electrical energy is 50 Joules before the conversions, then it would be 50 Joules after the conversion.

According to law of conservation of energy, we cannot create or destroy energy so it remains constant

Hope this helps!

A block of mass m is attached to a spring of constant k, which oscillates over a table without friction. Which of the following
Fofino [41]

Answer:

3. Kinetic energy of the system is maximum when potential energy is minimum.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of block= m

Spring constant =K

Table is friction less.

As we know that in oscillatory motion ,when kinetic energy is maximum then potential energy will become minimum.

At the mean position:

Kinetic energy is maximum.

Potential energy is minimum.

At the extreme position:

Kinetic energy is minimum.

Potential energy is  maximum.

At the mean position velocity of block will be maximum that is why it have maximum kinetic energy and at the extreme position the velocity of block will be minimum that is why it have minimum kinetic energy.

So from above we can say that kinetic energy of the system is maximum when potential energy is minimum.
