a) The x-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a.

b) The y-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a.

<h3>Determination of the coordinates of the center of gravity</h3>

Let suppose that each square has an <em>uniform</em> density, the coordinates of the center of gravity of each square with respect to the origin are, respectively:

\vec r_{1} = (0.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{2} = (1.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{3} = (0.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{4} = (1.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)

The center of gravity of the <em>entire</em> system is found by applying definition of <em>weighted</em> averages:

\vec r_{cg} = \frac{W_{1}\cdot \vec r_{1}+W_{2}\cdot \vec r_{2}+W_{3}\cdot \vec r_{3}+W_{4}\cdot \vec r_{4}}{W_{1}+W_{2}+W_{3}+W_{4}}

Where W_{1}, W_{2}, W_{3} and W_{4} are weights of the each square, in newtons.

Now we proceed the coordinates of the center of gravity of the entire system:

\vec r_{cg} = \frac{(50\,N)\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a) + (30\,N)\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a)+(30\,N)\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)+(70\,N)\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)}{50\,N+30\,N+30\,N+70\,N}

\vec r_{cg} = \frac{5}{18}\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a) +\frac{1}{6}\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a) +\frac{1}{6}\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a) + \frac{7}{18}\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{cg} = \left(\frac{19}{18}\cdot a, \frac{19}{18}\cdot a  \right) \blacksquare

a) The x-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a. \blacksquare

b) The y-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a. \blacksquare

svet-max [94.6K]

a) Solids keep shape, liquids take shape of containers but don't spill, gases take container's shape and spill out

b) if you heat gas, speed of its molecules will increase and they'll push the container's walls stronger, so the pressure will increase when the container heated

c) Heat flows from warmer to colder bodies

d) For monatomic gases it's U=1.5nRT only, molecular gas has bonds between atoms so total internal energy increases

e) Of gases

f) v=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}=321 m/s

g) U=5/2*nRT=37830.85 J

What is the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet of a 0.1 cm diameter? Assume that air is surrounding this droplet a
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the honey droplet, D = 0.1 cm

radius of the honey droplet, R = 0.05 cm = 0.0005 m

surface tension of honey, γ = 0.052 N/m

Apply Laplace's law for a spherical membrane with two surfaces

Gauge pressure =  P₁ - P₀ = 2 (2γ / r)

Where;

P₀ is the atmospheric pressure

Gauge pressure = 4γ / r

Gauge pressure = 4 (0.052) / (0.0005)

Gauge pressure = 416 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa

How do kinetic and potential energy transfer to one throughout a roller coaster ride?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As the cars ascend the next hill, some kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy. Then, when the cars descend this hill, potential energy is again changed to kinetic energy. This conversion between potential and kinetic energy continues throughout the ride.
