To calculate the center of gravity, divide total weight distance moment by total mass of the system. Thus, the center of gravity is 13 meter from left-hand side.

Jet001 [13]
If you're working with a solid or a liquid, the only way to increase volume
is to add more solid or liquid, so the mass must also increase.
(I don't want to get into temperature and confuse you.)

Not so with a gas.  If you want to increase the volume of a jar of gas,
all you have to do is pipe it into a bigger jar.  Gas always expands
to fill whatever you put it in.  So if you're working with a gas, you can
increase the volume with no change in the mass.

"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."
lana66690 [7]

You're thinking of Kepler's first law of planetary motion, but that's not
what it says.

First of all, Kepler didn't say anything about gravity.  He only described
the orbits.  And he said that the orbit of each planet is an <u>ellipse</u>, with the
sun at one focus.

If by some chance you're thinking of Newton ... he showed that <u>if</u> his formula for
gravity is correct, then the orbit of a planet <u>must</u> be an ellipse.  But Newton's law
of gravity is not one of his so-called "three laws of motion".

What causes the random, zig-zag movement (Brownian motion) of smoke particles suspended in air?​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

It is caused by air molecules colliding with smoke particles

Explanation:

To start with, Brownian motion is the erratic or irregular movement of very small particles in a medium due to continuous bombardment by molecules that surround the medium.

Thus, smoke moves in a Zig-Zag manner (Brownian motion) due to continious air bombardment. If it were pollen grain suspended in water, the erratic movement (Brownian motion) of the grains is caused by bombardment from water molecules.

James is planning a science fair project on sound waves. He places an alarm inside a jar which he can remove the
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

this is simple, because when air is removed, means that there is no particles in the jar so vacuum is achieved, and when you can't hear a sound means that the sound couldn't travel through the vacuum. which means that sound cannot travel through vacuum,

as a result, sound requires a medium ( air) travel from one point to another.

hope it helps, if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it
