At one instant, the center of mass of a system of two particles is located on the x-axis at 2.0 cm and has a velocity of (5.0 m/

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

At one instant,

Center of mass is at 2m

Xcm = 2m

And velocity =5•i m/s

One of the particle is at the origin

M1=? X1 =0

The other has a mass M2=0.1kg

And it is at rest at position X2= 8m

a. Center of mass is given as

Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)

2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)

2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)

Cross multiply

2(M1+0.1) = 0.8

2M1 + 0.2 =0.8

2M1 = 0.8-0.2

2M1 = 0.6

M1 = 0.6/2

M1 = 0.3kg

b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as

P= (M1+M2)V

P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i

P = 0.4 × 5•i

P = 2 •i kgm/s

c. Velocity of particle at origin

Using conversation of momentum

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2

We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0

So, P(before) = 0.3V1

We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question

Then,

P(before) = P(after)

0.3V1 = 2 •i

V1 = 2/0.3 •i

V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s

V1 = 6.667 •i m/s

A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 51.9 N . When the rock is totally i

Luden [163]

Answer:

$\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}$

Explanation:

When the rock is immersed in unknown liquid the forces that act on it are shown as under

1) Tension T by the string

2) Weight W of the rock

3) Force of buoyancy due to displaced liquid B

For equilibrium we have $T_{3}+B = W_{rock}$

$T_{3}+\rho _{Liquid}V_{rock}g$ = $W_{rock}.....(\alpha)$

When the rock is suspended in air for equilibrium we have

$T_{1}=W_{rock}....(\beta)$

When the rock is suspended in water for equilibrium we have

$T_{2}$ + $\rho _{water}V_{rock}g$ = $W_{rock}.....(\gamma)$

Using the given values of tension and solving α,β,γ simultaneously for $\rho _{Liquid}$ we get

$W_{rock}=51.9N\\31.6+1000\times V_{rock}\times g=51.9N\\\\11.4+\rho _{liquid}V_{rock}g=51.9N\\\\$

Solving for density of liquid we get

$\rho _{liquid}=\frac{51.9-11.4}{51.9-31.6}\times 1000$

$\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}$

What is gravitational acceleration

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

gravitational acceleration is the acceleration of an object in free fall within a vacuum (and thus without experiencing drag). This is the steady gain in speed caused exclusively by the force of gravitational attraction.
