Four particles are in a 2-d plane with masses, x- and y- positions, and x- and y- velocities as given in the table below: what i

s the x position of the center of mass? m 2) what is the y position of the center of mass? m 3) what is the speed of the center of mass? m/s 4) when a fifth mass is placed at the origin, what happens to the horizontal (x) location of the center of mass? it moves to the right. it moves to the left. it does not move. it can not be determined unless you know the mass. 5) when a fifth mass is placed at the center of mass, what happens to the vertical (y) location of the center of mass? it moves up. it moves down. it does not move. it can not be determined unless you know the mass.

I attached the picture of the missing table.
Center of mass is the point such that if you apply force to it, the system would move without rotating.
We can use following formula to calculate the center of mass:
R=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_ir_i
Where M is the sum of the masses of all particles.
Part 1
To calculate the x coordinate of the center of mass we will use this formula:
R_x=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i
I will do all the calculations in the google sheet that I will share with you.
For the x coordinate of the center of mass we get:
R_x=0.96m
Part 2
To calculate the y coordinate of the center of mass we will use this formula:
R_y=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iy_i
I will do all the calculations in the google sheet that I will share with you.
For the x coordinate of the center of mass we get:
R_y=-0.84m
Part 3
We will calculate speed along x and y-axis separately and then will add them together.
v_x=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iv_x_i}{M}
v_y=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iv_y_i}{M}
Total velocity is:
v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}
Once we calculate velocities we get:
v_x=-1.08\frac{m}{s}\\ v_y=-0.03\frac{m}{s}\\ v=\sqrt{(-1.08)^2+(-0.03)^2}=1.08\frac{m}{s}
Part 4
Because origin is left to our center of mass(please see the attached picture) placing fifth mass in the origin would move the center of mass to the left along the x-axis.
Part 5
If you place fifth mass in the center of the mass nothing would change. The center of mass would stay in the same place.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet:

A hollow sphere of radius 0.200 m, with rotational inertia I = 0.0484 kg·m2 about a line through its center of mass, rolls witho
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Part a)

KE_r = 8 J

Part b)

v = 3.64 m/s

Part c)

KE_f = 12.7 J

Part d)

v = 2.9 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that moment of inertia of hollow sphere is given as

I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2

here we know that

I = 0.0484 kg m^2

R = 0.200 m

now we have

0.0484 = \frac{2}{3}m(0.200)^2

m = 1.815 kg

now we know that total Kinetic energy is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2

20 = \frac{1}{2}(1.815)v^2 + \frac{1}{2}(0.0484)(\frac{v}{0.200})^2

20 = 1.5125 v^2

v = 3.64 m/s

Part a)

Now initial rotational kinetic energy is given as

KE_r = \frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2

KE_r = \frac{1}{2}(0.0484)(\frac{3.64}{0.200})^2

KE_r = 8 J

Part b)

speed of the sphere is given as

v = 3.64 m/s

Part c)

By energy conservation of the rolling sphere we can say

mgh = (KE_i) - KE_f

1.815(9.8)(0.900sin27.1) = 20- KE_f

7.30 = 20 - KE_f

KE_f = 12.7 J

Part d)

Now we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{r})^2 = 12.7

\frac{1}{2}(1.815) v^2 + \frac{1}{2}(0.0484)(\frac{v}{0.200})^2 = 12.7

1.5125 v^2 = 12.7

v = 2.9 m/s

Two bodies of mass m₁ & m₂ are moving with the same velocity 'v' K.E. will be greater for??
boyakko [2]

Answer:

the one with a higher mass

Explanation:

The body with more mass will have the greater kinetic energy of the two.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body. It is mathematically expressed as:

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

 Since the velocity of the two bodies are the same, and mass is directly proportional to kinetic energy, the body with more mass will have a higher kinetic energy.

 So between mass m1 and mass m2, the one with a greater mass will have a higher kinetic energy

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 2m/s2 for 5s. what is the speed of a car at the end of that time?
Fiesta28 [93]
Good afternoon.


We have:

\mathsf{V_0 = 0}\\ \mathsf{a = 2 \ m/s^2}\\ \mathsf{t = 5 \ s}

The function of velocity:

\mathsf{V = V_0+at}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 0 + 2t}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 2t}


For t = 5 s:

\mathsf{V = 2\cdot 5}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 10 \ m/s}}

Match the words in the left-hand column to the appropriate blank in the sentences in the right-hand column. Use each word only o
Vlad [161]

Answer:

1. About a trillion comets are thought to be located far, far beyond Pluto in the Oort cloud.

2. The bright spherical part of a comet observed when it is close to the Sun is the coma .

3. A comet's plasma tail stretches directly away from the Sun.

4. A comet's nucleus is the frozen portion of a comet.

5. Particles ejected from a comet can cause a(n) meteor shower on Earth.

6. The Kuiper belt extends from about beyond the orbit of Neptune to about twice the distance of Neptune from the Sun.  

Explanation:

1. Oort cloud is a theoretical cloud of icy objects in interstellar space. Its inner limit begins about 2000-5000 AU from sun outer limit (about 100000-200000 AU) defines the boundary of solar system.  

Note: AU is the astronomical unit which is defined as the distance between the Sun and Earth.  

2. Comets are described as “dirty snowballs” which is a mixture of frozen gases and dust. When this snowball gets closer to the Sun, gas evaporates, and a fuzzy haze of gas and dust emerges. This fuzzy tail is the coma.

3. Dust and gas in the coma interact with the sunlight and the solar wind. Charged particles in the coma are caught up in the magnetic field of sun and flow away from the sun.  

4. Nucleus is the dirty snowball which consists of rock, dust and frozen gas.  

5. Meteor shower is a celestial event with number of meteors can be observed. Meteors are meteoroids that enters earth’s atmosphere with extremely high speeds.

6. Kuiper belt is a region beyond Neptune including dwarf planets and icy objects.
