Answer:

0.94 m/s^2 downwards

Explanation:

m = 70 kg, m g = 70 x 9.8 = 686 N

R = 620 N

Let the acceleration be a, as the apparent weight decreases so the elevator is moving downwards with an acceleration a.

mg - R = ma

686 - 620 = 70 x a

a = 0.94 m/s^2

Three masses are located in the x-y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is located at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is located at (3 m
Natali [406]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. (1m, 0.5m)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;

x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M       ----------------(i)

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M       ----------------(ii)

Where;

M = sum of the masses

m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.

m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.

m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.

y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.

From the question;

m₁ = 6kg

m₂ = 4kg

m₃ = 2kg

x₁ = 0m

x₂ = 3m

x₃ = 0m

y₁ = 0m

y₂ = 0m

y₃ = 3m

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg

Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1 m  

y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12

y = 6 / 12

y = 0.5m

Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)

Answer:

12.5 km

Explanation:

Since 30.0 minutes is half of an hour and the average speed is 25.0 km/h we can multiply the time by the speed to find the distance travelled.

25.0km/h x 0.5 hours = 12.5 km
