Answer:
a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.
b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.
Explanation:
The center of mass of a system of particles (
), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:
(1)
Where:
- Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.
- Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.
If we know that
,
,
,
,
and
, then the coordinates of the third particle are:




a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.
b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.
The most common metals used for permanent magnets are iron, nickel, cobalt and some alloys of rare earth metals
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
acceleration in the z component = velocity in z component / time. The question states velocity in z component is zero. Therefore, acceleration in z component = 0/time = 0.
Now the question does not specify whether the other velocity vectors (x or y) is zero or not. So its D.
