If the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm.

The given parameters:

Weight of the ruler = 1 N

<h3>What is center of gravity (CG)?</h3>

Center of gravity is the point at which the weight of an object is concentrated.

Let the length of the ruler = L

The center of the gravity of the ruler is calculated as follows;

$X_{CG} = \frac{W(L_0) + W(L -X_{CG})}{W} \\\\X_{CG} = \frac{1(0) + 1(L -X_{CG})}{1}\\\\X_{CG} = L - X_{CG}\\\\X_{CG } + X_{CG} = L\\\\2X_{CG} = L\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{L}{2} \\\\when , \ L = 50 \ cm\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{50}{2} \\\\X_{CG} = 25 \ cm$

Thus, if the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm. This may change if the length of the ruler changes because the center of gravity of uniform ruler depends on the length of the ruler.

Explanation:

<h2>a) Velocity of the bag</h2>

This is a problem of motion in one direction (specifically vertical motion), and the equation that best fulfills this approach is:

$V_{f}=V_{o} +a.t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of the supply bag

$V_{o}=0$ is the initial velocity of the supply bag (we know it is zero because we are told <u>it was "dropped", this means it goes to ground in free fall</u>)

$a=g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (the negtive sign indicates the gravity is downwards, in the direction of the center of the Earth)
