The first law of thermodynamics states the conservation of energy and heat where the total energy in an isolated system may be transformed into another, but never created or destroyed. If 314 J of energy was released to the room, then also 314 J of energy was also removed from food in that refrigerator assuming it is an isolated system. <span>

A certain carbon monoxide molecule consists of a carbon atom mc = 12 u and an oxygen atom mo = 17 u that are separated by a dist

kvasek [131]

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
