<span> If we plot the points on the coordinate system we can see that for x, equal masses are occupying x = 1 through 4. with an equal density value. because they are all uniform we can intuit the moment to be the center of that distribution so Mx = 2.5.
Looking at y we have two equal masses at y = 1 and another set of masses at y = 3. This means that we have a moment in between those distributions and our My = 2.
The center of mass is the combination of the two, and it is at pt (2.5, 2). Because the masses considered are in general and also equal to each other.</span>

A cyclist moving with a constant velocity of 6.0 m/s forward passes a car that is just starting. If the car has a constant accel

sergiy2304 [10]

After 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cyclist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The speed of the cyclist = 6 m/s.

Let after time t sec, the car will overtake the cyclist.

So, distance covered by the cyclist in t sec = 6t m

Initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s, because the car is just starting.

Acceleration of the car = $2 m/s^2$ .

Final velocity of the car =6 m/s.

So to cover the distance 6t, the time required by the car = $\frac{1}{2} \times a \times t^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2$

$6t = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2\\6t = t^2$

t =6 sec

So, after 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cycle.

A spring stores 10. joules of elastic potential

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The answer would be . Since we are looking for the spring constant you would need to use the formula
$PEs = \frac{1}{2} k {x}^{2}$
. Then you'd substitute, for PEs and x.
$10j=1/2k(.20m^2).$
Then solve. k=500n/m
