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:

If a 20 N object has been lifted 5 meters above the ground, how much gravitational potential energy does it have?
Andreyy89

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

GPE = mgh

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Name the four fundamental fores at work inside an atom. Tell what each one does.​
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Four fundamental forces are gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak.

Explanation:

The gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, which produce significant long-range forces whose effects can be seen directly in everyday life and the strong and weak interactions, which produce forces at minuscule, subatomic distances and govern nuclear interactions.

a stone is projected vertically up from the top of a tower 73.5m with velocity 24.5 m/s . find the time taken by the stone to re
hoa [83]

The stone's altitude at time t is given by

y=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity. The stone reaches the ground when y=0:

0=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=7.11\,\rm s

A disk is free to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the disk through its center. If the disk starts from rest and accelerate
garri49 [273]

Answer:

(C) 16 radians

Explanation:

The angular displacement is given by the following equation:

\Delta \theta=\omega_i t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Here

\Delta \theta Is the angular displacement of the body at the indicated time (t).

\omega_i Is the angular velocity of the body at the initial moment.

\alpha Is the angular acceleration of the body.

The disk starts from rest, so \omega_i=0

Replacing the given values:

\Delta \theta=\frac{1}{2}(2\frac{radians}{s^2})(4s)^2\\\Delta \theta=16 radians
