Answer:

B) (-2.0 m, 0.0 m)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of particle 1 is, m_1=2.0\ kg

Mass of particle 2 is, m_2=3.0\ kg

Position of center of mass is, (x_{cm},y_{cm})=(0,0)

Position of particle 1 is, (x_1,y_1)=(3.0\ m,0.0\ m)

Position of particle 2 is, (x_2,y_2)=(?\ m,?\ m)

We know that, the x-coordinate of center of mass of two particles is given as:

x_{cm}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

Plug in the values given.

0=\frac{(2.0\times 3)+(3.0\times x_2)}{2.0+3.0}\\\\0=6+3x_2\\\\3x_2=-6\\\\x_2=\frac{-6}{3}=-2.0\ m

We know that, the y-coordinate of center of mass of two particles is given as:

y_{cm}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2}{m_1+m_2}

Plug in the values given.

0=\frac{(2.0\times 0)+(3.0\times y_2)}{2.0+3.0}\\\\0=0+3y_2\\\\3y_2=0\\\\y_2=\frac{0}{3}=0.0\ m

Therefore, the position of particle 2 of mass 3.0 kg is  (-2.0 m, 0.0 m).

So, option (B) is correct.

If a small sports car collides head-on with a massive truck, which vehicle experiences the greater impact force? Which vehicle e
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Small sports car.

Explanation:

Lets take

mass of the small car = m

mass of the truck = M

As we know that when car collide with the massive truck then due to change in the moment of the car both car as well as truck will feel force.We also know that from Third law of Newton's ,it states that every action have it reaction with same magnitude but in the opposite direction.

Therefore

F = m a

a=Acceleration of the car

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

F= M a'

a'=Acceleration of the massive truck

a'=\dfrac{F}{M}

Here given that M > m that is why a > a'

Therefore car will experiences more acceleration.
