A rod of length 35.50 cm has linear density (mass per length) given by λ = 50.0 + 23.0x where x is the distance from one end, an
d λ is measured in grams/meter. (a) What is its mass? g (b) How far from the x = 0 end is its center of mass? m
1 answer:
Answer:
(a)20.65g
(b)0.19m
Explanation:
(a) The total mass would be it's mass per length multiplied by the total lenght
0.355(50 + 23*0.355) = 20.65 g
(b) The center of mass would be at point c where the mass on the left and on the right of c is the same
Hence the mass on the left side would be half of its total mass which is 20.65/2 = 10.32 g

if f doubled , acc. will be doubled
(3 m) / (2 mm/yr) = (3,000mm)/(2mm/yr) = 1,500 yrs.
