Answer:
a) x_{cm} = m₂/ (m₁ + m₂) d , b) x_{cm} = 52.97 pm
Explanation:
The expression for the center of mass is
= 1 / M ∑
Where M is the total masses, mI and xi are the mass and position of each element of the system.
Let's fix our reference system on the oxygen atom and the molecule aligned on the x-axis, let's use index 1 for oxygen and index 2 for carbon
x_{cm} = 1 / (m₁ + m₂) (0+ m₂ x₂)
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
m₁ = 17 u = 17 1,661 10⁻²⁷ kg = 28,237 10⁻²⁷ kg
m₂ = 12 u = 12 1,661 10⁻²⁷ kg = 19,932 10⁻²⁷ kg
d = 128 pm = 128 10⁻¹² m
The equation for the center of mass is
x_{cm} = m₂/ (m₁ + m₂) d
b) let's calculate the value
x_{cm} = 19.932 10⁻²⁷ /(19.932+ 28.237) 10⁻²⁷ 128 10-12
x_{cm} = 52.97 10⁻¹² m
x_{cm} = 52.97 pm
Answer:
The time is 1.8s
Explanation:
The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.
Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground
Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.
From the question,
h=16m
Also, let take
By substitution we obtain,
Diving through by 9.8
square root both sides, we obtain
