Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (

0.0, 3.2) m, and 4.0 kg at (2.5, 0.0) m. Where should a fourth object of 8.3 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0.0, 0.0) m

Answer:

x = -1.20 m

y = -1.12 m

Explanation:

as we know that four masses and their position is given as

5.0 kg (0, 0)

2.9 kg (0, 3.2)

4 kg (2.5, 0)

8.3 kg (x, y)

As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as

$x_{cm} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

$0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(0) + 4(2.5) + 8.3 x}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}$

$10 + 8.3 x = 0$

$x = -1.20 m$

Similarly for y direction we have

$y_{cm} = \frac{m_1 y_1 + m_2y_2 + m_3y_3 + m_4y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

$0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(3.2) + 4(0) + 8.3 y}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}$

$9.28 + 8.3 x = 0$

$x = -1.12 m$

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Check all that apply.A.Gravity acts to pull the object downB.The object moves in

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

A.Gravity acts to pull the object down

D.The object’s inertia carries it forward.

E.The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant horizontal speed

- A vertical motion with constant acceleration of g = 9.8 m/s^2 downward (acceleration due to gravity), due to the presence of the force of gravity, so the vertical velocity changes (increases in the downward direction)

As a result, the combined motion of the projectile has a curved trajectory (parabolic, more specifically). So the following options are correct:

A.Gravity acts to pull the object down --> gravity acts along the vertical direction

D.The object’s inertia carries it forward. --> there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal motion continues with constant speed

E.The path of the object is curved

Two loudspeakers are placed on a wall 2 m apart. A listener stands directly in front of one of the speakers, 81.7 m from the wal

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The phase difference is $\Delta \phi = 1.9995 rad$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between the loudspeakers is $d = 2m$

The distance of the listener from the wall $D = 81.7 \ m$

The frequency of the loudspeakers is $f = 4450Hz$

The velocity of sound is $v_s = 343 m/s$

The path difference of the sound wave that is getting to the listener is mathematically represented as

$\Delta z =\sqrt{d^2 + D^2} -D$

Substituting values

$\Delta z =\sqrt{2^2 + 81.7^2 } -81.7$

$\Delta z =0.0245m$

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \phi$ = $\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda } * \Delta z$

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v_s }{f}$

substituting value

$\lambda = \frac{343 }{4450}$

$\lambda = 0.0770 m$

Substituting value into the equation for phase difference

$\Delta \phi$ = $\frac{2 * 3.142 * 0.0245}{0.0770}$

$\Delta \phi = 1.9995 rad$

Which organisms develop gills from pharyngeal arches and later develop lungs to breathe on land

lawyer [7]

Apart from cutaneous respiration<span> present in all </span>species<span>, most lissamphibians are born in an aquatic larval stage with gills. After metamorphosis, they develop lungs to breathe on land. The larvae of urodeles and apods present external, filamentous and highly branched gills which allow them to breathe underwater.

Mashcka [7]

a)

• P = F/A

P = pressure = 630 N/m^2

F = force

A = area

F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N

m= mass

g= gravity

P = F/A

A = F/P

A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b)

• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2

7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2

√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius

radius = 0.04976 m

Answers:

a ) 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b) 0.04976 m
