Which of the following is a false statement? Select one:

Physics
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.

Explanation:

Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.

Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as

\overrightarrow{r}_{com}=\int \overrightarrow{r}_{i}dm

where,

\overrightarrow{r}_{i} is the position vector of the mass dm.

As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.

Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:

1) Horseshoe shaped body.

2) A thin ring.

In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. A bat exerts a force of 18,400 N on the ball. What is the acceleration of the ball?
amid [387]

The correct formula to use for the situation given above is: F = MA, where F is the applied force, M is the mass of the object and A is the acceleration.

From the details given in the question, we are told that:

F = 18, 400N

M = 145 g = 145 / 1000 = 0.145 kg

A = ?

From the equation F = MA

A = F / M

A = 18,400 / 0.145 = 126,896.55 = 1.27 *10^5.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

I have an astronomy question... Spinning up the solar nebula. The orbital speed of the material in the solar nebula at Pluto's a
attashe74 [19]
<span>The angular momentum of a particle in orbit is 

l = m v r 

Assuming that no torques act and that angular momentum is conserved then if we compare two epochs "1" and "2" 

m_1 v_1 r_1 = m_2 v_2 r_2 

Assuming that the mass did not change, conservation of angular momentum demands that 

v_1 r_1 = v_2 r_2 

or 

v1 = v_2 (r_2/r_1) 

Setting r_1 = 40,000 AU and v_2 = 5 km/s and r_2 = 39 AU (appropriate for Pluto's orbit) we have 

v_2 = 5 km/s (39 AU /40,000 AU) = 4.875E-3 km/s

Therefore, </span> the orbital speed of this material when it was 40,000 AU from the sun is <span>4.875E-3 km/s.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

A stone sphere of radius 7.00 m rests in a flat field. Relative to the ground, what is the gravitational potential energy of a 9
Molodets [167]

Answer:

(B)  1.23 x 10⁴ J

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the sphere, r = 7.0 m

diameter of the sphere, d = 2r = 14.0 m

mass of the person sitting on the sphere, m = 90.0 kg

The gravitational potential energy of the person is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is the height above the ground level = d = 14.0 m

P.E = mgh

P.E = (90)(9.8)(14)

P.E = 12348 J

P.E = 1.2348 x 10⁴ J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the person is 1.2348 x 10⁴ J
