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

Sheila weighs 60 kg and is riding a bike. Her momentum on the bike is 340 kg • m/s. The bike hits a rock, which stops it complet

Vikki [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 5.7 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

$Total\ Initial\ Momentum = m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}\\$

where,

Total Initial Momentum = 340 kg.m/s

m₁ = mass of bike

v₁ = final speed of bike = 0 m/s

m₂ = mass of Sheila = 60 kg

v₂ = final speed of Sheila = ?

Therefore,

$340\ kg.m/s = m_{1}(0\ m/s) + (60\ kg)v_{2}\\v_{2} = \frac{340\ kg.m/s}{60\ kg}\\\\$

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s </u>

A flat coil of wire consisting of 20 turns, each with an area of 50 cm2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fie

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

0.5 A

Explanation:

N = 20, A = 50 cm^2 = 50 x 10^-4 m^2, dB = 6 - 2 = 4 T, dt = 2 s, R = 0.4 ohm

The induced emf is given by

e = - N dФ/dt

Where, dФ/dt is the rate of change of magnetic flux.

Ф = B A

dФ/dt = A dB/dt

so,

e = 20 x 50 x 10^-4 x 4 / 2 = 0.2 V

negative sign shows the direction of magnetic field.

induced current, i = induced emf / resistance = 0.2 / 0.4 = 0.5 A

Particle-X has a speed of 0.720 c and a momentum of 4.350x1019 kgm/s. What is the mass of the particle? 2.0206 10-27 kg Hints: T

kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of particle = 0.720 c

Momentum = 4.350\times10^{-19}\ kgm/s[/tex]

(I). We need to calculate the mass of the particle

Using formula of momentum

$P=mv$

$m =\dfrac{P}{v}$

$m=\dfrac{4.350\times10^{-19}}{ 0.720\times3\times10^{8}}$

$m=2.013\times10^{-27}\ Kg$

We need to calculate the rest mass of particle

Using formula of rest mass

$m=\dfrac{m_{0}}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}$

Where, $m_{0}$ = rest mass

Put the value into the formula

$m_{0}=2.013\times10^{-27}\times\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{0.720 c}{c})^2}$

$m_{0}=2.013\times10^{-27}\times\sqrt{1-(0.720)^2}$

$m_{0}=1.4\times10^{-27}\ kg$

(b). We need to calculate the rest energy of the particle

Using formula of energy

$E_{0}=m_{0}c^2$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{0}=1.4\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^2$

$E_{0}=1.26\times10^{-10}\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the particle

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=mc^2-m_{0}c^2$

$K.E=(m-m_{0})\timesc^2$

$K.E=(2.013\times10^{-27}-1.4\times10^{-27})\times3\times10^{8}$

$K.E=1.84\times10^{-19}\ J$

(d). We need to calculate the total energy of the particle

Using formula of energy

$E=mc^2$

Put the value into the formula

$E=2.013\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^2$

$E=1.812\times10^{-10}\ J$

Hence, This is the required solution.
