Determine the location of the center of mass of a "L" whose thin vertical and horizontal members have the same length L and the

same mass M. Use the formal definition to find the x and y coordinates, and check your result by doing the calculation with respect to two different origins, one in the lower left corner at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical members and one at the top of the vertical member.
(a) Origin at the lower left

x = ?

y = ?

(b) Origin at the top of the vertical member

x = ?

y = ?

Answer:

a)  x_{cm} = L / 2 , y_{cm}= L/2, b) x_{cm} = L / 2 , y_{cm}= L/2

Explanation:

The center of mass of a body is the point where all external forces are applied, it is defined by

      x_{cm} = 1 / M ∑  x_{i} m_{i} = 1 /M ∫ x dm

      y_{cm} = 1 / M ∑ y_{i}  m_{i} = 1 / M ∫ y dm

where M is the total body mass

Let's calculate the center of mass of our L-shaped body, as formed by two rods one on the x axis and the other on the y axis

a) let's start with the reference zero at the left end of the horizontal rod

let's use the concept of linear density

    λ = M / L = dm / dl

since the rod is on the x axis

     dl = dx

    dm = λ dx

let's calculate

      x_{cm} = M ∫ x λ dx = λ / M ∫ x dx

      x_{cm} = λ / M x² / 2

we evaluate between the lower integration limits x = 0 and upper x = L

      x_{cm} = λ / M (L² / 2 - 0)

  we introduce the value of the density that is cosntnate

     x_{cm} = (M / L) L² / 2M

     x_{cm} = L / 2

We repeat the calculation for verilla verilla

     λ = M / L = dm / dy

     y_{cm} = 1 / M ∫ y λ dy

     y_{cm} = λ M y² / 2

     y_{cm} = M/L  1/M (L² - 0)

     y_{cm}= L/2

b) we repeat the calculation for the origin the reference system is top of the vertical rod

     horizontal rod

        x_{cm} = 1 / M ∫λ x dx = λ/M   x² / 2

we evaluate between the lower limits x = 0 and the upper limit x = -L

      x_{cm} = λ / M [(-L)²/2 - 0] = (M / L) L² / 2M

      x_{cm} = L / 2

vertical rod

      y_{cm} = 1 / M ∫y dm

      y_{cm} = λ / M ∫y dy

      y_{cm} = λ / M y2 / 2

we evaluate between the integration limits x = 0 and higher x = -L

      y_{cm} = (M / L) 1 / M ((-L)²/2 -0)

      y_{cm} = L / 2

M84, M87, and NGC 4258 all have accretion disks around their central black holes for which the rotational velocities have been m
givi [52]

Answer:

<u>For M84:</u>

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

<u>For M87:</u>

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

Explanation:

1 parsec, pc  = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m

The equation of the orbit speed can be used to calculate the doppler velocity:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

making m the subject of the formula in the equation above to calculate the mass of the black hole:

M = \frac{v^{2} r}{G}.............(1)

<u>For M84:</u>

r = 8 pc = 8 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 24.64 * 10¹⁶ m

v = 400 km/s = 4 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

M = \frac{( 4*10^{5}) ^{2} *24.64* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

<u>For M87:</u>

r = 20 pc = 20 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 61.6* 10¹⁶ m

v = 500 km/s = 5 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

M = \frac{( 5*10^{5}) ^{2} *61.6* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

The mass of the black hole in the galaxies is measured using the doppler shift.

The assumption made is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion is needed to match the line widths that are observed.

How is modeling useful in studying the structure of the atom?
Mandarinka [93]

Modelling the structure of the atom is important because modeling replaces the real system with something similar but easier to examine. Option B

<h3>What is modeling?</h3>

A model is a representation of reality. We know that a model could help us to recreate reality in a manner that we could be able to relate fully with it. A model could be used also a means of explanation.

The atomic models that we have usually help us to understand more abut the atom. Therefore, modelling the structure of the atom is important because modeling replaces the real system with something similar but easier to examine. Option B

Identify the law, write the equation and calculate the answer to the problem below.
lyudmila [28]

Find refractive index first

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{c}{v}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1.0003}{1.33}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu =0.75

Now

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sini}{sinr}=\mu

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{sinr}=0.75

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{0.75}=sinr

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sinr=0.94

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=sin^{-1}(0.94)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=70^{\circ}
