Answer:

a)  x_{cm} = m₂/ (m₁ + m₂)   d , b)   x_{cm} = 52.97 pm

Explanation:

The expression for the center of mass is

                x_{cm} = 1 / M  ∑ x_{i} m_{i}

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

In a 350-m race, runner A starts from rest and accelerates at 1.6 m/s^2 for the first 30 m and then runs at constant speed. Runn
kifflom [539]

Answer:

B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

Explanation:

Given that,

Total distance = 350 m

Acceleration of A = 1.6 m/s²

Distance = 30 m

Acceleration of B = 2.0 m/s²

We need to calculate the time for A

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{A}^2

Put the value in the equation

30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.6\times t_{A}^2

t_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{1.6}}

t_{A}=6.12\ sec

We need to calculate the time for B

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{B}^2

Put the value in the equation

30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.0\times t_{B}^2

t_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{2.0}}

t_{B}=5.48\ sec

We need to calculate the time for longest nap

Using formula for difference of time

t'=t_{A}-t_{B}

t'=6.12-5.48

t'=0.64\ s

Hence, B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

What will happen if you put a usb drive and a magnet too closely together?
kakasveta [241]
<span>If you put a magnet right next to a USB drive, depending on the strength of the magnet and the amount of steel, nickel or cobalt used in the construction of that particular model of USB drive, the drive would either adhere to, or not adhere to, the magnet. This would cause no other significant effects. The storage of data in solid state form (as in USB drives) is not magnetic in nature, so no deletion or any other damage of the stored data would occur.</span>

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and
lord [1]
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

Envision holding the end of a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other. When you let go, you can see the oscillations
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.

Explanation:

When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.

By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.

The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.

F= -kx, where,

F= restoring force

x= displacement or deformation

k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.

Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.
