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

c(50 + 23c) = 10.32

23c^2 + 50c - 10.32 = 0

c \approx 0.19m

Nina [5.8K]

The average velocity over the interval 6\le t\le 10 is

\dfrac{x(10)-x(6)}{10\,\mathrm s-6\,\mathrm s}=\dfrac{6\,\mathrm m-2.67\,\mathrm m}{4\,\mathrm s}=0.8325\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where x(t) is the person's position at time t. I've taken the liberty of estimating x(6)\approx2.67\,\mathrm m. The closest choice among the answers is 0.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}.
