Answer:
The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.
Explanation:
Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.
Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as
where,
is the position vector of the mass dm.
As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.
Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:
1) Horseshoe shaped body.
2) A thin ring.
In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.
Answer:
a) 16 N
b) 2.13 m/s²
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram of the tv stand. There are four forces:
Weight force mg pulling down,
Normal force N pushing up,
Friction force Nμ pushing left,
and applied force P pulling right.
Sum of forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
N − mg = 0
N = mg
The net force in the x direction is:
∑F = P − Nμ
∑F = P − mgμ
∑F = 25 N − (7.5 kg) (10 m/s²) (0.12)
∑F = 16 N
Net force equals mass times acceleration:
∑F = ma
16 N = (7.5 kg) a
a = 2.13 m/s²
Abiotic factors are the nonliving physical and chemical components of an ecosystem, while biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem. Both types of factors affect reproduction and survival
Answer:
Perfectly inelastic collision
Explanation:
There are two types of collision.
1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.
2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.
For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.
Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.
