Answer:

The center of mass of three mass in the x-y plane is located at (1,0.5).                  

Explanation:

It is given that, a mass of 6 kg is at (0,0), a mass of 4 kg is at (3,0), and a mass of 2 kg is at (0,3). We need to find the center of mass of the system. Center of mass in x direction  is :

C_x=\dfrac{6\times 0+4\times 3+2\times 0}{6+4+2}\\\\C_x=1

The center of mass in y direction is :

C_y=\dfrac{6\times 0+4\times 0+2\times 3}{6+4+2}\\\\C_y=0.5

So, the center of mass of three mass in the x-y plane is located at (1,0.5).

A 5000 kg African elephant has a resting metabolic rate of 2500 W. On a hot day, the elephant's environment is likely to be near
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

36 kg

Explanation:

To answer this question, a few assumptions have to be made:

  • That the temperature on the day is 35 °C
  • That all the heat from the elephant is goes to warming/evaporating the water on the surface of the elephant

Energy released per hour = 2500 J/s * 3600 s = 9 000 000 J

Q = mcΔT

9 000 000 J= m *4.186 J/g-K * (373K - 308K) + m*2260 J/g

m =  36 000 g = 36 kg

The GPE of a 70kg person standing on a chair 1m off the ground is how many joules?
Artemon [7]
GPE I am assuming is gravitational potential energy. I'll denote it as U for simplicity. 

U = mgy
U = (70kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1m) = 686.7J

U = 686.7J

Hope this helps!
