Consider the following distribution of objects: a 5.00-kg object with its center of gravity at (0, 0) m, a 3.00-kg object at (0,

4.00) m, and a 4.00-kg object at (3.00, 0) m. Where should a fourth object of mass 8.00 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0, 0)?

Answer:

(-1.5,-1.5)m

Explanation:

we know that:

X_{cm} = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2....m_nX_n}{m_1+m_2...m_n}

where X_{cm} is the location of the center of gravity in the axis x, m_i is the mass of the object i and x_i the first coordinate of center of gravity of object i.

so:

0 = \frac{(5kg)(0)+(3kg)(0)+(4kg)(3)+(8kg)x_4}{5kg+3kg+4kg+8kg}

Where x_4 is the first coordinate of the center of gravity for the fourth object.

Therefore, solving for x_4, we get:

x_4 = -1.5m

At the same way:

Y_{cm} = \frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2....m_ny_n}{m_1+m_2...m_n}

where Y_{cm} is the location of the center of gravity in the axis y, m_i is the mass of the object i and y_i the second coordinate of center of gravity of object i. replacing values we get:

Y_{cm} = \frac{(5kg)(0)+(3kg)(4)+(4kg)(0)+(8kg)y_4}{5+3+4+8}

Where y_4 is the second coordinate of the center of gravity for the fourth object.

solving for y_4:

y_4 = -1.5m

It means that the object of mass 8kg have to be placed in the  

coordinates (-1.5,-1.5) m.

Answer:

Explanation:

28 / 70 = 0.3857142...  = 0.39 hr

280 / 100 = 2.8 hrs.

(100 - 0) / 10 = 10 m/s²

(60 - 20) / 4 = 10 m/s²

The statements below are all true. Some of them represent important reasons why the giant impact hypothesis for the Moon’s forma
Molodets [167]

Answer:

the order of importance must be     b e a f c

Explanation:

Modern theories indicate that the moon was formed by the collision of a bad plant with the Earth during its initial cooling period, due to which part of the earth's material was volatilized and as a ring of remains that eventually consolidated in Moon.

Based on the aforementioned, let's analyze the statements in order of importance

b) True. Since the moon is material evaporated from Earth, its compassion is similar

e) True. If the moon is material volatilized from the earth it must train a finite receding speed

a) True. The solar system was full of small bodies in erratic orbits that wander between and with larger bodies

f) False. The moon's rotation and translation are equal has no relation to its formation phase

c) false. The amount of vaporized material on the moon is large

Therefore, the order of importance must be

An 80-kg hiker climbs to the top of a tall hill and builds up 470,000 J of gravitational potential energy. How high did the hike
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

599 meters is the answer rounded to the nearest whole number and 599.489795918 meters is the complete answer

Explanation:

to find gravitational potential energy you multiply mass x acceleration due to gravity (always 9.8 on earth) x hight

since we know the gravitational potential energy and want to find out the hight, we take the gravitational potential energy (470,000) and divide it by the product of acceleration due to gravity x mass (9.8 x 80)

so how high the hiker climbed is equal to 470,000 divided by (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / 784

hight = 599.489795918 meters

as for rounding, if the decimal is less than 5 you round "down" and keep the current whole number, if the decimal is 5 or greater you round "up" and add 1 to get your new number
