Answer:

the result  a_{cm} = g   .The correct answer is d

Explanation:

For this problem let's start by finding the center of mass of objects

         x_{cm} = 1 / M ∑ x_{i}  m_{i}

we apply this equation to our case

        M = m + 2m + 3m

       M = 6m

        x_{cm} = 1 / 6m (x₁ m + x₂ 2m + x₃ 3m)

        x_{cm} = 1/6 (x₁ + 2 x₂ + 3x₃)

We apply Newton's second law to this center of mass

         dp / dt = M a

         d (M v_{cm}) / dt = M a

let's find the speed of the center of mass

        v_{cm} = 1 / 6m (m v + 2m 0 - 3m v)

        v_{cm} = ⅓ v

         M d v_{cm}/ dt = M a

         d v_{cm} / dt = a

at the center of mass the external force of the system is applied, which is the force of gravity

         dv_{cm} / dt = g

therefore the result

               a = g

 

The correct answer is d

_____________________ are structures in cardiac muscle tissue that allow impulses to spread across the heart more rapidly.
Darya [45]

Gap junctions in the intercalated discs allow impulses to be spread across the heart more quickly. This is because gap junctions allow particles/signals to pass through, thus making cells with gap junctions more able to interact.

One more thing—you posted this in the physics section rather than biology.

An object has the acceleration graph shown in (Figure 1). Its velocity at t=0s is vx=2.0m/s. Draw the object's velocity graph fo
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

We may notice that change in velocity can be obtained by calculating areas between acceleration lines and horizontal axis ("Time"). Mathematically, we know that:

v_{b}-v_{a} = \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt

v_{b} = v_{a}+ \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt

Where:

v_{a}, v_{b} - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

t_{a}, t_{b} - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

a(t) - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Acceleration is the slope of velocity, as we know that each line is an horizontal one, then, velocity curves are lines with slopes different of zero. There are three region where velocities should be found:

Region I (t = 0 s to t = 4 s)

v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s}  +\int\limits^{4\,s}_{0\,s} {\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt

v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (4\,s-0\,s)

v_{4} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}

Region II (t = 4 s to t = 6 s)

v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}  +\int\limits^{6\,s}_{4\,s} {\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt

v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (6\,s-4\,s)

v_{6} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}

Region III (t = 6 s to t = 10 s)

v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}  +\int\limits^{10\,s}_{6\,s} {\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt

v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (10\,s-6\,s)

v_{10} = 4\,\frac{m}{s}

Finally, we draw the object's velocity graph as follows. Graphic is attached below.
