A 10.2-kg mass is located at the origin, and a 4.6-kg mass is located at x = 8.1 cm. Assuming g is constant, what is the locatio

Answer:

center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

center of gravity of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

Explanation:

Position of centre of mass is given as

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2}{m_1 + m_2}

here we have

m_1 = 10.2 kg

m_2 = 4.6 kg

r_1 = (0, 0)

r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)

now we have

r_{cm} = \frac{10.2 (0,0) + 4.6 (8.1 , 0)}{10.2 + 4.6}

r_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}

r_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)

so center of mass of the two masses will lie at x = 2.52 cm

now for center of gravity we can use

r_g_{cm} = \frac{m_1gr_1 + m_2gr_2}{m_1g + m_2g}

here we have

m_1 = 10.2 kg

m_2 = 4.6 kg

r_1 = (0, 0)

r_2 = (8.1cm, 0)

now we have

r_g_{cm} = \frac{10.2(9.8) (0,0) + 4.6(9.8) (8.1 , 0)}{10.2(9.8) + 4.6(9.8)}

r_g_{cm} = {(37.26, 0)}{14.8}

r_g_{cm} = (2.52 cm, 0)

So center of mass is same as center of gravity because value of gravity is constant here

If an atom has an atomic number of 2, it will be stable with 2 electrons in its valence shell. Group of answer choices True Fals
torisob [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 2

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electronic configuration will be 1s^2

As its duplet is already complete and it has noble gas configuration , it is stable with 2 valence electrons.

A knight moves on a chessboard two squares up, down, left, or right followedby one square in one of the two directions perpendic
Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Check attachment for solution.

Generally the movement of the knight is L, i.e (2,1), (1,2),(-1,2),(1,-2) etc.

So using Pythagoras theorem

x^2+y^2=1^2+2^2

x^2+y^2=5

Then, the knight will make one movement when the displacement is √5.

So let take a look at other positions

(1,0),(0,1),(-1,0), (0,-1).

Then, for us to have this kind of movement, the knight has to make 3 movements.

When the displacement is 1, then it will make 3 movement.

Let examine other positions

(2,2) or(-2,-2) or (2,-2) or (-2,2)

When the displacement is √8

Then, the movement of the knight is 4.

Let examine other points

(2,0) or (0,2) or (-2,0) or (0,-2)

When the displacement is 2.

The knight make 2 movement

What is the change in air pressure over a given distance called?.
emmainna [20.7K]
The change in pressure measured across a given distance called a Pressure Gradient. The pressure gradient creates a net force that is directed from higher to lower pressure and is called the Pressure Gradient Force. ... As air increases in velocity, it is deflected by the Coriolis Force.
