<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. (1m, 0.5m)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;

x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M       ----------------(i)

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M       ----------------(ii)

Where;

M = sum of the masses

m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.

m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.

m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.

y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.

From the question;

m₁ = 6kg

m₂ = 4kg

m₃ = 2kg

x₁ = 0m

x₂ = 3m

x₃ = 0m

y₁ = 0m

y₂ = 0m

y₃ = 3m

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg

Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1 m  

y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12

y = 6 / 12

y = 0.5m

Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)

prisoha [69]

The options are;

a. V2 equals 2V1.

b. V2 equals (V1)/2.

c. V2 equals V1.

d. V2 equals (V1)/4.

e. V2 equals 4V1.

Answer:

Option A: V2 equals 2V1

Explanation:

Since the flow is steady, then we can say;

mass flow rate at input = mass flow rate at output.

Formula for mass flow rate is;

m' = ρVA

Thus;

At input;

m'1 = ρ1•V1•A1

At output;

m'2 = ρ2•V2•A2

So, m'1 = m'2

Now, we are told that the density of the fluid decreases to half its initial value.

Thus; ρ2 = (ρ1)/2

Since m'1 = m'2, then;

ρ1•V1•A1 = (ρ1)/2•V2•A2

Now, the pipe is uniform and thus the cross section doesn't change. Thus;

A1 = A2

We now have;

ρ1•V1•A1 = (ρ1)/2•V2•A1

A1 and ρ1 will cancel out to give;

V1 = (V2)/2

Thus, V2 = 2V1

Find the final velocity of a car that accelerates at +2 m/s2 for +4m from an
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to third equation of motion

2as=vf²-vi²

vf²=2as+vi²

vf=√2as+vi²

vf=√2as+vi

vf=√2*2*4+3

vf=√16+3

vf=4+3=7

so final velocity is 7 m/s
