Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 2.09-kg object is at +2.97 m, a 2.93-kg object is at +2.53 m, a 2.57-kg

object is at the origin, and a 3.92-kg object is at -0.496 m. Where is the center of mass of these objects?

Answer:

x = 0 m

y = 1.02 m

Explanation:

M1 = 2.09 kg

y1 = 2.97 m

M2 = 2.93 kg

y2 = 2.53 m

M3 = 2.57 kg

y3 = 0 m

M4 = 3.92 kg

y5 = -0.496 m

since all objects are situated on the Y-axis, this means the x coordinate of the center of mass is 0.

To find the y coordinate of the center of mass, we apply the equation below.

sum of moment of the objects about the origin = moment of the total mass of objects about the center of mass

M1.y1 + M2.y2 + M3.y3 + M4.y4 = Mt.Y

(2.09 x 2.97) + (2.93 x 2.53) + (2.57 x 0) + (3.92 x -0.496) = (2.09 + 2.93 + 2.57 + 3.92) Y

11.68 = 11.51 Y

Y = 11.68 / 11.51 = 1.02 m

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 4 mm/s. How fast is the volume increasing when the diameter is 60 mm?
jok3333 [9.3K]
V = [4/3]π r^3 => [dV / dr ] = 4π r^2

[dV/dt] = [dV/dr] * [dr/dt]

[dV/dt] = [4π r^2] * [ dr/ dt]

r = 60 mm, [dr / dt] = 4 mm/s

[dV / dt ] = [4π(60mm)^2] * 4mm/s = 180,955.7 mm/s

Explain the process of refraction of light​
brilliants [131]

The process of refraction of light​ occurs when light rays bends when travelling between media of different densities.

What is refraction of light?

Refraction of light is the bending of light rays or the change in the direction of light rays as it travels between media of different densities.

Light waves travel faster in media of less density than media of more density.

The change in density of the media makes light waves to be bend towards or away from the normal.

For example, when light travels from less dense air to more dense water, the light rays are bent towards the normal. However, when light rays travel from water to air, the light rays are refracted away from the normal.

In conclusion, refraction of light waves occur when light crosses the boundary of media of different densities.

A student writes the following script for a scene in a futuristic movie.
Triss [41]
The astronauts hearing the rocket landing is inaccurate. Sound waves can’t travel through a vacuum, meaning a place where there are no air particles. They are mechanical waves and require a medium to travel through. So, because there is no air in space, you can’t hear anything.
