A person is standing on a level floor. His head, upper torso, arms, and hands together weigh 496 N and have a center of gravity

that is 1.37 m above the floor. His upper legs weigh 199 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.711 m above the floor. Finally, his lower legs and feet together weigh 81.2 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.284 m above the floor. Relative to the floor, find the location of the center of gravity for the entire body.

Answer: 1.09 m

Explanation:

Given

Weight of the body, W1 = 496 N

Weight of his upper legs, W2 = 199 N

Weight of his lower legs, W3 = 81.2 N

Center of gravity of the body, y1 = 1.37 m

Center of gravity of the upper legs, y2 = 0.711 m

Center of gravity of the lower legs, y3 = 0.284 m

Center of gravity relative to the floor, y(f) = ?

y(f) = (W1y1 + W2y2 + W3y3) / (W1 + W2 + W3), substituting the values, we have

y(f) = [(496 * 1.37) + (199 * 0.711) + (81.2 * 0.284)] / (496 + 199 + 81.2)

y(f) = (679.52 + 141.489 + 23.0608) / 776.2

y(f) = 844.0698 / 776.2

y(f) = 1.09 m

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri
Anettt [7]

Answer:

270 mi/h

Explanation:

Given that,

To the south,

v₁ = 300 mi/h, t₁ = 2 h

We can find distance, d₁

d_1=v_1\times t_1\\\\d_1=300\times 2\\\\d_1=600\ \text{miles}

To the north,

v₂ = 250 mi/h, d₂ = 750 miles

We can find time, t₂

t_2=\dfrac{d_2}{v_2}\\\\t_2=\dfrac{750\ \text{miles}}{250\ \text{mi/h}}\\\\t_2=3\ h

Now,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V=\dfrac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}\\\\V=\dfrac{600+750}{2+3}\\\\V=270\ \text{mi/h}

Hence, the average speed for the trip is 270 mi/h.

Planet that has an orbit that intersects the orbit of pluto
Scilla [17]
<h2>Answer: Neptune </h2>

The dwarf planet Pluton, <u>has the most eccentric orbit</u> (more elliptical and elongated) of all the planets, and as a consequence its orbit is "intersected" by the orbit of Neptune.

However, <u>despite this intersection, there is no collision risk between these two bodies</u>, since the orbit of Pluto is located in an orbital plane different from that of the other planets and therefore different from that of Neptune, its nearest neighbor. In addition, the orbit of Pluton is inclined 17\° on the the ecliptic plane (plane where the other planets move around the Sun).
