You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.60 kg cartons of cereal at one end of the basket. The basket i

s 0.77 m long. Where should you place a half gallon of milk (1.8 kg) so that the center of mass (COM) of your groceries is at the center of the basket

Answer:

The gallon of milk is placed at a distance of 0.641 meters.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of two 0.6 kg cartons of cereal is 1.2 kg

Length of the basket, l = 0.77 m

Center of the basket is 0.385 m

Mass of the half gallon of milk is 1.8 kg

Total weight in the basket is 1.2 + 1.8 = 3 kg

We need to find the position of the gallon of milk so that the center of mass (COM) of your groceries is at the center of the basket.        

So,

(3 × 0.385) = (1.2 × 0) + (1.8 × x)

1.155 = 1.8 x

x = 0.641 meters

So, the gallon of milk is placed at a distance of 0.641 meters.

The greenhouse effect presentation summarized? ​
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by “greenhouse gases.”

Explanation:

These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and water vapor. (Water vapor, which responds physically or chemically to changes in temperature, is called a "feedback.") Scientists have determined that carbon dioxide's warming effect helps stabilize Earth's atmosphere. Remove carbon dioxide, and the terrestrial greenhouse effect would collapse. Without carbon dioxide, Earth's surface would be some 33°C (59°F) cooler.

A ball is kicked at an angle of 35° with the ground.a) What should be the initial velocity of the ball so that it hits a target
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

a.18.5 m/s

b.1.98 s

Explanation:

We are given that

\theta=35^{\circ}

a.Let v_0 be the initial velocity of the ball.

Distance,x=30 m

Height,h=1.8 m

v_x=v_0cos\theta=v_0cos35

v_y=v_0sin\theta=v_0sin35

x=v_0cos\theta\times t=v_0cos35\times t

t=\frac{30}{v_0cos35}

h=v_yt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Substitute the values

1.8=v_0sin35\frac{30}{v_0cos35}-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(\frac{30}{v_0cso35})^2

1.8=30tan35-\frac{6574.6}{v^2_0}

\frac{6574.6}{v^2_0}=21-1.8=19.2

v^2_0=\frac{6574.6}{19.2}

v_0=\sqrt{\frac{6574.6}{19.2}}=18.5 m/s

Initial velocity of the ball=18.5 m/s

b.Substitute the value then we get

t=\frac{30}{18.5cos35}

t=1.98 s

Hence, the time for the ball to reach the target=1.98 s

A cosmic catastrophic event occurred that caused the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit to increase from 23
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations

Explanation:

Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.

It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.
