Answer:TL;DR: 3.535 cm

Explanation:

Xcm = ΣxMoments/ΣMasses = (10*0 + 10*5)/(10+10) = 50/20 = 2.5 cm

by symmetry,

Ycm = 2.5 cm

The distance D from the point Xcm,Ycm to the origin is D = √(2.5²+2.5²) = 3.535 cm

Answer:

the center of mass is 7.07 cm apart from the bend

Explanation:

the centre of mass of a wire of length L is L/2 ( assuming uniform density). Then initially the x coordinate of the centre of mass is

x₁ = L/2 = 20 cm /2 = 10 cm

when the wire is bent in a right angle the coordinates of the new centre of mass will be

x₂ = L₂/2

y₂=  L₂/2

where L₂ is the length of the horizontal piece and vertical piece . Then L₂=L/2

x₂ = L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

y₂= L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

x₂=y₂=X

locating the bend in the origin (0,0) the distance to the centre of mass is

d = √(x₂²+y₂²) = √(2X²) = √2*X=√2*5cm = 7.07 cm

d = 7.07 cm

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that A 1.0 g plastic bead, with a charge of -6.0 nC, is suspended between the two plates by the force of the electric field between them.

Since it is suspended, it must have been repelled by the bottom negative plate and trying to be attracted to the top plate.

We can therefore conclude that the upper plate, is positively charged

B.) The charge on the positive plate of parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two horizontal 12.0-cm-diameter circular plates must be less than 6.0 nC

A 2.0 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring whose force constant is 590 N/m. The block is pulled
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The  value is  v =  -0.04 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass  of the block is  m  =  2.0 \ kg

   The  force constant  of the spring is  k  =  590 \ N/m

   The amplitude  is  A =  + 0.080

   The  time consider is  t =  0.10 \  s

Generally the angular velocity of this  block is mathematically represented as

      w =  \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

=>   w =  \sqrt{\frac{590}{2} }

=>   w = 17.18 \  rad/s

Given that the block undergoes simple harmonic motion the velocity is mathematically represented as  

         v  =  -A w sin (w* t )

=>       v  = -0.080 * 17.18 sin (17.18* 0.10 )

=>       v =  -0.04 \  m/s

A 9V battery is directly connected to each of 3 LED bulbs. Select the statement that accurately describes this circuit. A) A dir
Likurg_2 [28]
First off, you can cross out alternating current because a 9V battery doesn't give out AC, it gives out solely DC. If the battery is connected to each battery individually, then they are in parallel. So, according to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, in parallel, V total = V1 = V2= V3..
So I'd say B) !

A vehicle has an initial velocity of v0 when a tree falls on the roadway a distance xf in front of the vehicle. The driver has a
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the vehicle, v_o

distance between the car and the tree, x_f

time taken to respond to the situation, t

acceleration of the car after braking, a

Using equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.s ..............(1)

where:

v= final velocity of the car when it hits the tree

u= initial velocity of the  car when the tree falls

a= acceleration after the brakes are applied

s= distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.

s=v_o\times t

Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t) (negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)
