<span>Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel this distance. Velocity is the change in position divided by the time of travel. Velocity only depends on the starting and ending point but the speed depends on the path. Speed is a scalar quantity (the distance per time ratio) and velocity is a vector quantuty, because it is defined also with its direction.</span>

Let v1, , vk be vectors, and suppose that a point mass of m1, , mk is located at the tip of each vector. The center of mass for
g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Center of mass is give as

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Where i= 1,2,3,4.....

M = m1+m2+m3 +....

x is the position of the mass (x, y)

Now,

Given that,

u1 = (−1, 0, 2) (mass 3 kg),

m1 = 3kg and it position x1 = (-1,0,2)

u2 = (2, 1, −3) (mass 1 kg),

m2 = 1kg and it position x2 = (2,1,-3)

u3 = (0, 4, 3) (mass 2 kg),

m3 = 2kg and it position x3 = (0,4,3)

u4 = (5, 2, 0) (mass 5 kg)

m4 = 5kg and it position x4 = (5,2,0)

Now, applying center of mass formula

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Xcm = (m1•x1+m2•x2+m3•x3+m4•x4) / (m1+m2+m3+m4)

Xcm = [3(-1, 0, 2) +1(2, 1, -3)+2(0, 4, 3)+ 5(5, 2, 0)]/(3 + 1 + 2 + 5)

Xcm = [(-3, 0, 6)+(2, 1, -3)+(0, 8, 6)+(25, 10, 0)] / 11

Xcm = (-3+2+0+25, 0+1+8+10, 6-3+6+0) / 11

Xcm = (24, 19, 9) / 11

Xcm = (2.2, 1.7, 0.8) m

This is the required center of mass

At an air show, a stunt pilot performs a vertical loop-the-loop in a circle of radius 3.63 x 103 m. During this performance the
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

189 m/s

Explanation:

The pilot will experience weightlessness when the centrifugal force, F equals his weight, W.

So, F = W

mv²/r = mg

v² = gr

v = √gr where  v = velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and r = radius of loop = 3.63 × 10³ m

So, v = √gr

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 3.63 × 10³ m)

v = √(35.574 × 10³ m²/s²)

v = √(3.5574 × 10⁴ m²/s²)

v = 1.89 × 10² m/s

v = 189 m/s

Why does the lens need to be thicker for viewing nearby objects?
Maurinko [17]

Answer: To focus on a near object – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly. To focus on a distant object – the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.

A wrench is accidentally dropped at the top of an elevator shaft in a tall building. (a) How many meters does the wrench fall in
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

11.25m

Explanation:

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}  \\  = 0 \times 1.5 +  \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times   {1.5}^{2}  \\  = 5 \times 2.25 \\  = 11.25
