Answer:</h2>
D. (1m, 0.5m)
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;
x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M ----------------(i)
y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M ----------------(ii)
Where;
M = sum of the masses
m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.
m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.
m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.
y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.
From the question;
m₁ = 6kg
m₂ = 4kg
m₃ = 2kg
x₁ = 0m
x₂ = 3m
x₃ = 0m
y₁ = 0m
y₂ = 0m
y₃ = 3m
M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg
Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;
x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12
x = 12 / 12
x = 1 m
y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12
y = 6 / 12
y = 0.5m
Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)
zero.

Answer:
Increasing its charge
Increasing the field strength
Explanation:
For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:
where
q is the charge
v is the velocity
B is the magnetic field
m is the mass
r is the radius of the orbit
The period of the motion is
Re-arranging for r
And substituting into the previous equation
Solving for T,
So we see that the period is:
- proportional to the charge and the magnetic field
- inversely proportional to the mass and the square of the speed
So the following will increase the period of the particle's motion:
Increasing its charge
Increasing the field strength
Example of surface events are erosion and weathering. Erosion is the carrying of a particle from one place to the other and weathering is the breaking down of particles. These processes help in rock formation because this allows physical changes (grouping together or breaking down) on a certain substance. Subsurface events are those which happened underground such as the flow of underground water which subsequently allow the deposition of minerals, etc.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The magnitude of the net force on the student = 0 N since the student is standing still on level ground and upward reaction force = downward force.
b) the magnitude of the contact force on the student by the backpack = 80 N since the student was backing the backpack
c) the magnitude of the contact force o the student by the ground = 550 N + 80 N = 630 N reactional force on the student
