Problem 1: Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m1 = 24 g, is placed a distance d1 = 1.1 cm from the

left end of the rod. The second bead, of mass m2 = 12 g, is placed a distance d2 = 1.9 cm to the right of the first bead. The third bead, of mass m3 = 56 g, is placed a distance d3 = 3.9 cm to the right of the second bead. Assume an x-axis that points to the right.
25% Part (b) Find the center of mass, in centimeters, relative to the left end of the rod.

25% Part (c) Write a symbolic equation for the location of the center of mass of the three beads relative to the center bead, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement.

25% Part (d) Find the center of mass, in centimeters, relative to the middle bead

Answer:

b)  x_{cm} = 4.88 cm , c) x_{cm}’= 1/M  (m₁ d₁ + m₃ d₃) and d)

x_{cm}’= 1.88 cm

Explanation:

The definition of mass center is

    x_{cm} = 1/M ∑ xi mi

Where mi, xi are the mass and distance from an origin for each mass and M is the total mass of the object.

Part b

Apply this equation to our case.

Body 1

They give us the mass (m₁ = 24 g) and the distance (d₁ = 1.1 cm) from the origin at the far left

Body 2

They give us the mass (m₂ = 12.g) and the distance relative to the distance of the body 1, let's look for the distance from the left end (origin)

    D₂ = d₁ + d₂

    D₂ = 1.1 + 1.9

    D₂ = 3.0 cm

Body 3

Give the mass (m₃ = 56 g) and the position relative to body 2, let's find the distance relative to the origin

    D₃ = D₂ + d₂

    D₃ = 3.0 + 3.9

    D₃ = 6.9 cm

With this data we substitute and calculate the center of mass

    M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

    M = 24 + 12 + 56

    M = 92 g

    x_{cm} = 1/92 (1.1 24 + 3.0 12 + 6.9 56)

    x_{cm} = 1/92 (448.8)

    x_{cm} = 4,878 cm

    x_{cm} = 4.88 cm

This distance is from the left end of the bar

Par c)

In this case we are asked for the same calculation, but the reference system is in the center marble, we have to rewrite the distance with the reference system in this marble.

Body 1

It is at   d1 = -1.9 cm

It is negative for being on the left and the value is the relative distance of 1 to 2

Body 2

d2 = 0 cm

The reference system for her

Body 3

d3 = 3.9 cm

Positive because that is to the left of the reference system and is the relative distance between 2 and 3

Let's write the new center of mass (xcm')

    x_{cm} ’= 1/M  (m₁ d₁ + m₂ d₂ + m₃ d₃)

   

   x_{cm}’= 1/M  (m₁ d₁ + m₃ d₃)

Part d) Let's calculate the value of the center of mass

    x_{cm}’= 1/92 ((24 (-1.9) +56 3.9)

    x_{cm}’= 1/92 (172.8)

    x_{cm}’= 1.88 cm

This distance is to the right of the central marble

A car is traveling at 100 km/h when the driver sees an accident 80 m ahead and slams on the brakes. what minimum constant decele
Effectus [21]
Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
2aS = v_f^2 - v_i^2 (1)
where 
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
v_f is the velocity at time t
v_i=100 km/h = 27.8 m/s is the initial speed of the car

The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and v_f=0 (the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve  the equation (1) to find a:
a=- \frac{v_i^2}{2 S}= -\frac{(27.8 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 80 m} =-4.83 m/s^2
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

If the speed of light in a substance is 2.26 x 10^8 m/s, what is the index of refraction of that substance?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

speed of light in vacuum, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in medium, v = 2.26 x 10^8 m/s

The refractive index of the medium is given by

μ = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

μ = (3 x 10^8) / (2.26 x 10^8)

μ = 1.33

Astronomers are getting information about dark energy from
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The only way of telling about dark energy is our observation of how the universe has been expanding. It basically works the opposite as gravity, pushing things away from it. Thus, the closest answer would be D. The shape of galaxies in cluster galaxies.
