Answer:

4. All the momentum starts in one ball, and after the collision, it is all in the other ball.

Explanation:

All the momentum starts in the first ball (the one is moving) . When this ball collides with the second ball, the first ball stops but its momentum it is transferred to the second ball, then to the third then fourth until it reaches the very last ball. Only the last ball has momentum now because is the only one moving.

A 10.2-kg mass is located at the origin, and a 4.6-kg mass is located at x = 8.1 cm. Assuming g is constant, what is the locatio

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

center of gravity of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

Explanation:

Position of centre of mass is given as

$r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

here we have

$m_1 = 10.2 kg$

$m_2 = 4.6 kg$

$r_1 = (0, 0)$

$r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)$

now we have

$r_{cm} = \frac{10.2 (0,0) + 4.6 (8.1 , 0)}{10.2 + 4.6}$

$r_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}$

$r_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)$

so center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

now for center of gravity we can use

$r_g_{cm} = \frac{m_1gr_1 + m_2gr_2}{m_1g + m_2g}$

here we have

$m_1 = 10.2 kg$

$m_2 = 4.6 kg$

$r_1 = (0, 0)$

$r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)$

now we have

$r_g_{cm} = \frac{10.2(9.8) (0,0) + 4.6(9.8) (8.1 , 0)}{10.2(9.8) + 4.6(9.8)}$

$r_g_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}$

$r_g_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)$

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here
