Answer:

Xcm = 1.95 cm  and Ycm = 1.76 cm

Explanation:

The very useful concept of mass center is

     R cm = 1/M  ∑ m_{i}  r_{i}

Where ri, mi are the mass positions of the bodies from some reference point by selecting and M is the total mass of the body.

Let's look for the total mass

     M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

     M = 140 + 45 + 85

     M = 270 g

Let's look for the position of each point

Point 1. top vertex, if the triangle has as side d

      R₁ = d / 2 i ^ + d j ^

      R₁ = (1.7 cm i ^ + 3.4 j ^) cm

Point 2. left vertex. What is the origin of the system?

      R₂ = 0

Point 3. Right vertex

      R₃ = d i ^

      R₃ = 3.4 i ^ cm

a) The x component of the massage center

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂ + m₃ x₃)

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ d / 2 + 0 + m₃ d)

      Xcm = d / M (m₁ / 2 + m₃)

b)   Let's write the mass center component x

      Xcm = 1/270 (1.7 140 + 0 + 3.4 85)

      Xcm = 238/270

      Xcm = 1.95 cm

c) let's find the component and center of mass

     Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ y₁ + m₂ y₂ + m₃ y₃)

    Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ d + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = m₁ / M d

d) let's calculate

    Y cm = 1/270 (140 3.4 + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = 1.76 cm

In 1996, NASA performed an experiment called the Tethered Satellite experiment. In this experiment a 4.32 x 104-m length of wire
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Length, l = 4.32 x 10^4 m

speed, v = 7.07 x 10^3 m/s

magnetic field, B = 5.81 x 10^-5 T

The formula for the motion emf is given by

e = B x v x l

e = 5.81 x 10^-5 x 7.07 x 10^3 x 4.32 x 10^4

e = 17745.1 V

Two force vectors are oriented such that the angle between their directions is 38 degrees and they have the same magnitude. If t
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Sum of the forces will be equal to 3.479 N

Explanation:

We have given two same forces are oriented at an angle of 38°

Magnitude of each force is given F_1=F_2=1.84

We have to find the sum of the forces

Sum of the forces will be equal to

F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\Theta }

So sum of the forces will be equal to F=\sqrt{1.84^2+1.84^2+2\times 1.84\times 1.84\times cos38^{\circ} }=3.479

So sum of the force will be equal to 3.479 N

PLEASE HELP!!!<br>How are middle latitude cyclones and tropical cyclones different from each other?
defon
In contrast, extratropical cyclones have their strongest winds near the tropopause, which is about 8 miles above the surface. These differences are due to the tropical cyclone being “warm-core” in the troposphere, whereas extra-tropical cyclones are “warm-core” in the stratosphere and “cold-core” in the troposphere.

A 2000 kg roller coaster is at the top of a loop with a radius of 24 m. If its speed is 18 m/s at this point, what force does it
levacccp [35]

Answer:

46620\ \text{N}

Explanation:

m = Mass of roller coaster = 2000 kg

r = Radius of loop = 24 m

v = Velocity of roller coaster = 18 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Normal force at the point will be

N-mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{2000\times 18^2}{24}+2000\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow N=46620\ \text{N}

The force exerted on the track is 46620\ \text{N}.
