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

never [62]

Answer:

The sound intensity level in the car is 57.2 dB.

Explanation:

Sound intensity level in decibels, β = 10 log (I/I₀); where I = 0.525 × 10⁻⁶ W/m², I₀ = 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

β (dB) = 10 log ((0.525 × 10⁻⁶)/(1.0 × 10⁻¹²)) = 10 × 5.72 = 57.2 dB

Hope this Helps!!!

Convert time from 12-hour to 24-hour clock. ​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

4:28

Explanation:

4:28am

a 12 hour clock continues going up after 12 (1:00pm=13:00). minutes stay the same. 12:00pm=00:00. this shows 4:28am, so you count 4 after 00:00.
