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

The homeowner installs an electrically heated mirror into the shower room.When a person has a shower, the heated mirrors does no
UkoKoshka [18]
When you have a warm shower, you create steam. So when the warm steam flows in the air and starts to be in contact with a cold surface, it condenses causing a mist to form on the cold surface. The heated mirror is warm so, when, the steam is in contact with the mirror condensation is prevented. Therefore, the mirror stays clear.

A quantum system has three energy levels, so three wavelengths appear in its emission spectrum. the shortest observed wavelength
daser333 [38]
The wavelength emitted is indirectly proportional to the difference in the change in the energy level. For the wavelength 278 nm the change in energy level is significantly high. Further change in energy level is indicated by 454nm light but the difference in energy level for this wavelength to be emitted  is not greater than the previous one. There is a possibility that these subsystems have now very low energy which should result in wavelengths ranging from 700 to 900 nm. There is another possibility that there is some metastable subsystems in the system which may cause LASER emission.

A car covers 72 kilometers in the first hour of its journey. In the next hour, it covers 90 kilometers. What is the amount of wo
kap26 [50]
The amount of work done can be solved using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance = Change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy can be solved using the formula: KE = (1/2)*m*v^2
So, change in kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(Vf)^2 - (1/2)*m*(Vo)^2

Where:

Vf = final velocity = 90 kph = 25 m/s
Vo = initial velocity = 72 kph = 20 m/s

substituting the given values:

Work = (1/2)*2500*(25^2) - (1/2)*2500*(20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be expressed as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

Among the choices, the correct answer is A.

Choose the correct statement of Kirchhoff's voltage law.
frutty [35]

Answer:

A) If one travels around a closed path adding the voltages for which one enters the negative reference and subtracting the voltages for which one enters the positive reference, the total is zero.

Explanation:

Kirchhoff's voltage law deals with the conservation of energy when the current flows in a closed-loop path.

It states that the algebraic sum of the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is always zero.

In other words, the algebraic sum of all the potential differences through a loop must be equal to zero.
