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)
Answer:
Part a)
distance = 112 miles
Part b)
current position = 112 miles from the position of town
Explanation:
Part a)
Since the distance marker is showing the distance between the town and the position of john at all time
so here we have

Part b)
Current position of John is given as

from the position of the town
This would be a physical change because it can change back to its original form. This is like ripping paper. You can piece it back together and it still is paper.
The opposite of this is chemical change. Chemical change means the product has been changed completely like burning paper. The paper has now been turned to ash and it's impossible to change this back to its original form.
