Answer:

a) C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m

b) (x_4,y_4)=(-1.917,-1.75)m

Explanation:

The center of mass "represent the unique point in an object or system which can be used to describe the system's response to external forces and torques"

The center of mass on a two dimensional plane is defined with the following formulas:

\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i x_i}{M}

\bar y =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i y_i}{M}

Where M represent the sum of all the masses on the system.

And the center of mass C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)

Part a

m_1= 3 kg, m_2=5kg,m_3=7kg represent the masses.

(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(2.3,0),(x_3,y_3)=(0,1.5) represent the coordinates for the masses with the units on meters.

So we have everything in order to find the center of mass, if we begin with the x coordinate we have:

\bar x =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.767m

\bar y =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.7m

C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m

Part b

For this case we have an additional mass m_4=6kg and we know that the resulting new center of mass it at the origin C.M =(\bar x, \bar y)=(0,0)m and we want to find the location for this new particle. Let the coordinates for this new particle given by (a,b)

\bar x =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)+(6kg*a)}{3kg+5kg+7kg+6kg}=0m

If we solve for a we got:

(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)+(6kg*a)=0

a=-\frac{(5kg*2.3m)}{6kg}=-1.917m

\bar y =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)+(6kg*b)}{3kg+5kg+7kg+6kg}=0m

(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)+(6kg*b)=0

And solving for b we got:

b=-\frac{(7kg*1.5m)}{6kg}=-1.75m

So the coordinates for this new particle are:

(x_4,y_4)=(-1.917,-1.75)m

The electric force between electric charges is much larger than the gravitational force between the charges. Why, then, is the g
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The electric force between charges is much larger than the gravitational force but Gravitational force between earth and moon is dominant over Electric force because earth and moon are the electrically neutral body.

Electrically neutral bodies are those bodies that contain equal no of electron and proton in the body.

An example of electrically neutral bodies is a neutron.

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?
Furkat [3]

Answer: IMA= \frac {F_r}{F_e}

Explanation:

IMA stands for Ideal Mechanical advantage.

The IMA of pulley system can be defined as the ratio of output force to input force.

From the given pulley system,

The input force = F_e

The output force = F_r

Hence, IMA of the given pulley system,

IMA= \frac {F_r}{F_e}
