Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m1 = 28 g, is placed a distance d1 = 1.5 cm from the left end o

f the rod. The second bead, of mass m2 = 11 g, is placed a distance d2 = 2.5 cm to the right of the first bead. The third bead, of mass m3 = 45 g, is placed a distance d3 = 4.6 cm to the right of the second bead. Assume an x-axis that points to the right.
(a) Find the center of mass, in centimeters, relative to the left end of the rod.
(b) Write a symbolic equation for the location of the center of mass of the three beads relative to the center bead, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement.
(c) Find the center of mass, in centimeters, relative to the middle bead.

Answer:

Part a)

Center of mass with respect to the left end is given as

r_{cm} = 5.63 cm

Part b)

Center of mass with respect to middle bead is

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1(-d_2) + m_2(0) + m_3(d_3)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

Part c)

Center of mass with respect to middle bead is

r_{cm} = 1.63 cm

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the center of mass of the system of mass is given by the formula

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2 + m_3r_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

here we have

m_1 = 28 g

m_2 = 11 g

m_3 = 45 g

r_1 = 1.5 cm

r_2 = 1.5 + 2.5 = 4 cm

r_3 = 1.5 + 2.5 + 4.6 = 8.6 cm

Now we have

r_{cm} = \frac{28(1.5) + 11(4) + 45(8.6)}{28 + 11 + 45}

r_{cm} = 5.63 cm

Part b)

As we know that the center of mass of the system of mass is given by the formula

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2 + m_3r_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

here we have

m_1 = 28 g

m_2 = 11 g

m_3 = 45 g

r_1 = -d_2 = -2.5cm

r_2 = 0

r_3 = d_3 = 4.6 cm

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1(-d_2) + m_2(0) + m_3(d_3)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

Part c)

Now plug in the values in above formula

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1(-d_2) + m_2(0) + m_3(d_3)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

r_{cm} = \frac{28(-2.5) + m_2(0) + 45(4.6)}{28 + 11 + 45}

r_{cm} = 1.63 cm

HELP!!!

We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material

Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.

One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.

This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.

Convert 4 radians to degrees A. 242.6° B. 9.6° C. 229.2° D. 6.8°
muminat
The central angle of a circle is 360° or 2π radians.

Therefore
1 radian = (360 degrees)/(2π radians) = 180/π degrees/radian.
4 radians = (4 radians)*(180/π degrees/radian) = 229.18 degrees.

Answer: C.  229.2°

a basketball is tossed upwards with a speed of 5.0 m/s What is the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release poi
den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.275 m

Explanation:

Let the maximum height reached be h.

Here initial velocity, u = 5 m/s

Final velocity, V = 0

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

0 = 25 - 2 × 9.8 × h

h = 25/19.6 = 1.275 m
