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

What is the momentum of a 750kg car traculing at a velocity of 24m/s
m_a_m_a [10]
The answer is 18000 kgm/s

Momentum is mass times velocity so just do 750•24.

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Endless movement between hot and cold will eventually mean the end of the universe. This law is about inefficiency, degeneration and decay. <u>The second law can be expressed in several ways, the simplest being that heat will naturally flow from a hotter to a colder body. At its heart is a property of thermodynamic systems called entropy.</u> Entropy basically means an increase in randomness. Hope this helps mate.

Recall that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the number of coils in the spring, or that shorter springs equate t
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x_1= 0.0425m

Explanation:

Using the tension in the spring and the force of the tension can by describe by

T = kx

, T = mg

Therefore:

m*g = k*x

With two springs, let, T1 be the tension in each spring,  x1 be the extension of each spring.  The spring constant of each spring is 2k so:

T_1 = 2k*x_1

2T_1 = m*g=4k x_1

Solve to x1

x_1=\frac{m*g}{4k}

x_1=\frac{k*x}{4*k}

x_1=\frac{x}{4}

x_1 = 0.170 / 4

x_1= 0.0425m

A VW Beetle goes from 0 to 60.0 mi/h with an acceleration of +2.35 m/s^2. (a) How much time does it take for the beetle to reach
Firlakuza [10]
Im going to tell you what to do but not the result. So pay close attention: the first thing you need to do is convert miles/h to m/s. Then for the part a) <span>divide the final velocity by the initial velocity. That will give you the amount of it will take to accelerate to the final velocity.Now for the part b you </span>use the formula v=vo+at. I hope this can help you
