A 1.8-m uniform rod is being used to balance two buckets of paint. One pucket is full, but the other is mostly empty, and has on

ly 0.25 the inertia of the full bucket. How far away from the full bucket is the center of mass of the system located?

Answer: 0.36 m

Explanation:

By definition, the x coordinate of the center of mass of the system obeys the following equation:

Xm = (m1x1 + m2x2 + …….+ mnxn) / m1+m2 +……+ mn

Neglecting the mass of the rod, and choosing our origin to be coincident with the location of the full bucket, we can write the following expression for the X coordinate of the center of mass (Assuming that both masses are aligned over the x-axis, so y-coordinates are zero):

Xm = 0.25 mb . 1.8 m / (1+0.25) mb

Simplifying mb, we get:

Xm= 0.36 m (to the right of the full bucket).

Using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

when a is the hypotenuse, and b and c are opposites and adjacent in a right triangle

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

Therefore, the hypotenuse has a magnitude of 5

How is the earths surface shaped by weathering, erosion, and deposition. Give and example of each
rusak2 [61]
FULL ANSWER<span>There are two types of weathering that affect the earth's surface: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical weathering is sometimes called physical weathering and often occurs because of temperature changes on the surface. For example, if enough water seeps into a crack and freezes, it expands. This causes it to work as a wedge and it slowly splits open nearby rocks. As the ice melts, the resulting water carries away bits of the broken rock.C<span>hemical weathering changes the composition of the materials that make up rocks and soil. A good example of this is what happens when carbon dioxide is abundant in an area. High carbon dioxide combined with water produces an acid called carbonic acid. In time, carbonic acid dissolves rock.</span><span>Although both types of weathering are natural processes, humans and animals often unwittingly speed things up. Animals, such as dogs trampling across rocks and soil, speed up the process and air pollution caused by people increase the rate of weathering.</span></span>
