A 1.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (-1.20 m, 0.500 m) and a 4.50 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, -0.750 m).

Both lie on a horizontal plane. At what (a) x and (b) y coordinates must you place a 4.00 kg particle such that the center of mass of the three-particle system has the coordinates (-0.500 m, -0.700 m)

Answer:

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Explanation:

The center of mass of a system of particles (\vec r_{cm}), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:

\vec r_{cm} = \frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}\cdot \vec r_{i}}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}} (1)

Where:

m_{i} - Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.

\vec r_{i} - Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.

If we know that \vec r_{cm} = (-0.500\,m,-0.700\,m), m_{1} = 1\,kg, \vec r_{1} = (-1.20\,m, 0.500\,m), m_{2} = 4.50\,kg, \vec r_{2} = (0.600\,m, -0.750\,m) and m_{3} = 4\,kg, then the coordinates of the third particle are:

(-0.500\,m, -0.700\,m) = \frac{(1\,kg)\cdot (-1.20\,m,0.500\,m)+(4.50\,kg)\cdot (0.600\,m,-0.750\,m)+(4\,kg)\cdot \vec r_{3}}{1\,kg+4.50\,kg+4\,kg}

(-4.75\,kg\cdot m, -6.65\,kg\cdot m) = (-1.20\,kg\cdot m, 0.500\,kg\cdot m) + (2.7\,kg\cdot m, -3.375\,kg\cdot m) +(4\cdot x_{3},4\cdot y_{3})

(4\cdot x_{3}, 4\cdot y_{3}) = (-6.25\,kg\cdot m,-3.775\,kg\cdot m)

(x_{3},y_{3}) = (-1.562\,m,-0.944\,m)

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

The light waves have that particular interference from question #1 because they are emitted _____.
Elis [28]
I am attaching the rest of your question so it makes sense, 
<span>
Since lasers are made from stacking light waves that add together into a larger wave due to CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE.
</span>
Then, <span>light waves have that constructive interference (from question #1) because they are emitted IN PHASE with each other.

This means that they arrive at the same point of space with the same characteristics and their effects do not cancel each other, but the opposite, their intensity increases.</span>

How is force related to math
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use which type of satellite system?
inessss [21]

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use "Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The umbrella term for all global satellite tracking systems is GNSS i.e Global Satellite Navigation System. This involves satellite constellations circulating over the surface of the earth and continuous signal transmission that allow users to evaluate their location.

A satellite array of 18–30 medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites distributed across several orbital planes typically achieves greater coverage for each network. The specific systems differ, but use > 50 ° orbital inclinations and approximately twelve hours orbital cycles.

Two parallel plates are 1 cm apart and are connected to a 500 V source. What force will be exerted on a single electron half way
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 8*10^-15 N

Explanation: In order to calculate the force applied on an electron in the middle of the two planes at 500 V we know that,  F=q*E

The electric field between  the plates is given by:

E = ΔV/d = 500 V/0.01 m=5*10^3 N/C

the force applied to the electron is: F=e*E=8*10^-15 N
