Refer to the diagram shown below.
The given data is
mass, kg Coordinates. m
------------- -----------------
2 (0, 0)
2 (2, 0)
4 (2, 1)
Total mass, M = 2+2+4 = 8kg
Let (x,y) be the coordinates of M.
Then, taking moments about the origin, we obtain
8x = 2*0 + 2*2 + 4*2 = 12
x = 1.5 m
8y = 2*0 + 2*0 + 4*1 = 4
y = 0.5 m
Answer: (1.5, 0.5) m
Answer:
S = 122.5m
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Time, t = 5 seconds
Since it's a free fall, initial velocity, u = 0
To find the displacement, we would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;
Where;
- S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.
- u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.
- t represents the time measured in seconds.
- a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
S = 122.5m.
Answer: B. If an object's velocity is changing,it's either experiencing acceleration or deceleration.
Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. This implies that if an object is changing it's velocity it is experiencing acceleration/ deceleration.
Acceleration is a vector quantity that has both a magnitude and time.
It is represented as
Acceleration= change in velocity/time.
The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2
