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 (
), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:
(1)
Where:
- Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.
- Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.
If we know that 
, 
, 
, 
, 
and 
, then the coordinates of the third particle are:
a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.
b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.
Energy is the ability to do work so I would say that thermal or heat energy is a type of work. Don’t know if this will work but that’s what I would put.
The total amount of energy stays the same, but throughout the ride, the kinetic energy and the potential energy change, still adding up to the same number. At the top of the ride it has potential energy, and as it goes down the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases. When it’s at the bottom of the first drop it has maxed out its kinetic energy, and minimized its potential energy. Friction slows down the car, and pushes on the cart with a force that is equal and opposite to the force being exerted in the track. The reason the track keeps going is because though it exerts and equal and opposite force the momentum of the objects is different, allowing the car to continue moving, however friction will slow it down until eventually it comes to a stop.
Answer: the correct option is D (17m).
Explanation: The farthest distance at which a typical "nearsighted" frog can see clearly in air is 17m.
