Which of the following can significantly change a vehicle’s center of gravity?

Physics

Answer:

The answer is Loading

Explanation:

The center of gravity is a point inside a mass where the weight of the mass is considered to act on. And the center of gravity of an object can change position if you add more mass on certain areas of the object. So lets say you have a vehicle and the vehicle has the center of gravity right in the middle (this means at mid-height, mid-length and mid-width). Now you put some stuff on the trunk, well guess what? The center of gravity now shifted some towards the trunk of your car. And if you didn´t place the extra mass right in the middle of the trunk, the you also moved the center of gravity to whatever side you put the mass on.

In regards of the other three options:

  • Force of impact has nothing to do with center of gravity. Although if you want to be very strict, if you crash and the force of impact deforms your car so much that the vehicle has now a totally different shape, then yeah, all the rearrangement of the mass will move the center of gravity from its initial position. But for the scope of this question, the answer is NO.
  • The antilock brakes or ABS have nothing to do with center of gravity. All they do is prevent your car from sliding by keepin the tires rotating when you slam on the brakes.
  • Torque has nothing to do with center of gravity. More torque will help you with acceleration of your vehicle.

loading

Loading determines the weight and/or the center of pressure on a vehicle. Center of gravity refers to the whole weight of the load acting with its orientation. Loading affects the center of gravity as the object is positioned and balanced on the vehicle.

A 85-kg astronaut is stranded from his space shuttle. He throws a 1-kg hammer away from the shuttle with a velocity of 17 m/s. H
algol [13]

Answer:

0.2 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg

mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg

velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s

speed of astronaut, v' = ?

initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?

Using conservation of momentum

(M + m) V = M v' + m v

(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17

85 v' = -17

  v' = -0.2 m/s

negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.

Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s

How do you tell a stars life expectancy based on an hr diagram?
e-lub [12.9K]
The X-axis of the H-R Diagram indicates the star's surface temperature in degrees Kelvin.  The Y-axis, on the other hand, indicates luminosity, or brightness.

Main sequence refers to a roughly diagonal, slightly S-curved line stretching between the upper-left and lower-right corners on which main sequence stars chart. They maintain a predictable relationship between luminosity and temperature: the brighter, the hotter. The upper-right quadrant of the H-R diagram is home to newly discovered red giants while the lower-left quadrant of the H-R Diagram belongs almost exclusively to white dwarfs.

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position
german
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.

denis23 [38]
Impulse = Ft = (m)(delta v)
delta v = change in velocity = velocity final - velocity initial.
= -22m/s - +18m/s = -40m/s.
mdeltav = (0.40kg)(-40m/s) = -16kgm/s or -16Ns.

SIZIF [17.4K]
Add the KE increase and the work done against friction.

The final velocity is twice the average, or 3.0 m/s
The final KE is (1/2)*25*3^2 = 112.5 J

The friction work done is 6*3.8 = 22.8 J
