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:

HELP!!! What role might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study?
Marat540 [252]

The positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk, might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The positive charge present in upper of the atmosphere and the negative charge on planet’s surface. During cloudless skies days, the air possesses a voltage of nearly around 100 volts for each and every meter from above the ground.

Ballooning spiders process within this planetary electric field. When their silk relieve their bodies then it picks up a negative charge. This oppose the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders settles and create sufficient force to lift them into the air. And spiders can hike those forces by climbing onto blades of grass,twigs, or leaves.

A 500 N force accelerates an object at 20 m s-2. What is its mass?
avanturin [10]

<u>Answer</u>: The mass of the object is 25kg.

The given question deals with Newton's second law of motion and its applications.

<u>Explanation:</u> Given force, F=500N

                                 acceleration, a=20 m/s^{2}

  From Newton's 2nd law of motion , we have

                             F=ma where m=mass of the object

                         ⇒500=m×20

                         ⇒m=500/20=25

                 ∴ Mass of the object is 25 kg .
