Answer:

The center of mass for the object is  y_c = 1.063 \  m from the origin

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the first object is  m_1 =  1.99 \  kg

   The position of first object with respect to origin y_1 =  2.99 \ m

   The mass of the second object is  m_2 =  2.96 \  kg

   The position of second object with respect to origin y_2 =  2.57 \ m

   The mass of the third object is  m_3 =  2.43  \  kg

   The position of third object with respect to origin y_3 =  0 \ m

   The mass of the fourth object is  m_3 =  3.96  \  kg

   The position of fourth object with respect to origin y_3 =  -0.502  \ m

Generally the center of mass of the object along the x-axis is  zero  because all the mass lie on the y axis

Generally the location of the center mass of the object is mathematically represented as

    y_c = \frac{m_1 * y_1 + m_2 * y_2 + m_3 * y_3 + m_4 * y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

=>y_c = \frac{1.99 * 2.99 + 2.96 * 2.57 + 2.43 * 0 + 3.96 * (-0.502)}{1.99+ 2.96  + 2.43 + 3.96}

=>y_c = 1.063 \  m

A wave x meters long has a speed of y meters per second. The frequency of the wave is
Sergio [31]
The correct answer is (b.) y/x hertz. That is because the formula to get the frequency is f =  v / w. The following values (v=y meters / second; wavelength = x meters) must be substituted to the equation, which leaves you y/x hertz.

Be-36 what hull type is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers?
LenaWriter [7]
The hull type that is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers is Flat Bottom Hull. 
A flat bottomed boat is a boat with a flat bottomed, two-chined hull, which allows it to be used in shallow bodies of water, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground. The flat hull also makes the boat more stable in calm water.

4. How much force is required to stop a 60 kg person traveling at 30 m/s during a time of a)
11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

F = ma, and a = Δv / Δt.

F = m Δv / Δt

Given: m = 60 kg and Δv = -30 m/s.

a) Δt = 5.0 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (5.0 s)

F = -360 N

b) Δt = 0.50 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.50 s)

F = -3600 N

c) Δt = 0.05 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.05 s)

F = -36000 N

A roller coaster is traveling at 13 m/s when it approaches a hill that is 400 m long. Heading down the hill, it accelerates at 4
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The  value is    v = 47 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The initial  speed of the roller coaster is u =  13 \  m/s

    The  length of the hill is  l   = 400 \  m

    The  acceleration of the  roller coaster is a=4.0 \ m/s^2

Generally the acceleration is mathematically represented as

      a =  \frac{ v - u}{ t_f -  t_i }

Here  t_i is the initial time which is equal to zero

         v_f is the final velocity which is mathematically represented as

          v_f  =  \frac{d}{ t_f}

So  

     a =  \frac{ \frac{d}{d_f}  - u }{ t_f - t_i}

     4 = \frac{\frac{400}{ t_f}  - 13}{t_f - 0}

      4 =  \frac{400 - 13t_f}{ t_f} *  \frac{1}{t_f}

     4t_f ^2  +13f  + 400 =

Solving this using quadratic formula we obtain

    t_f =  8.5 \ s

     t_f =  -11.8 \ s

Generally  time cannot be negative so

       t_f =  8.5 \ s

Generally the  final velocity is mathematically represented as

         v = \frac{400}{8.5}

         v = 47 \  m/s
