Answer:

Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

Explanation:

Suppose A 1200 kg station wagon is moving along a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s.

Given that,

Mass of first wagon = 1200 kg

Mass of second wagon = 180 kg

Distance = 40 m

We need to calculate the position of the center of mass of the system

Using formula of center mass

x_{cm}=\dfrac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

x_{cm}=\dfrac{1200\times0+1800\times40}{1200+1800}

x_{cm}=24\ m

Hence, Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

What is the function of a switch? pls HELPPPPPP TYSMMMMM <3​
lesya [120]

Answer:

Connect multiple hosts: Normally, a switch provides a large number of ports for cable connections, allowing for star topology routing. It is usually used to connect multiple PCs to the network. Forwards a message to a specific host: Like a bridge, a switch uses the same forwarding or filtering logic on each port. When any host on the network or a switch sends a message to another host on the same network or the same switch, the switch receives and decodes the frames to read the physical (MAC) address portion of the message. Manage traffic: A switch in networking can manage traffic either coming into or exiting the network and can connect devices like computers and access points with ease. Keep electrical signal undistorted: When a switch forwards a frame, it regenerates an undistorted square electrical signal. Increase LAN bandwidth: A switch divides a LAN into multiple collision domains with independent broadband, thus greatly increasing the bandwidth of the LAN.

6. When adding vectors graphically, the direction and length of each vector must:
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Not be changed

Option: D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The physical quantity which has both ‘magnitude and direction’ is called vector. These vectors are represented by a line and an arrow, <em>the line represent the magnitude and arrow represent the direction of the physical quantity</em>. The vectors are added and subtracted according to the direction of the vectors.

According to the vector law addition while adding vectors direction and length of the vector is not be changed.<em> If the length of the vector changed the magnitude is also changed while so, while adding vectors length must not be changed. </em>
