- There are 4 spheres. The spheres are all 6.5 grams, such that the system of the 4 spheres is 26 grams. The spheres are moving together along a track, before hitting a junction (which you can treat as theorigin). When the system of spheres gets to the junction, one sphere breaks free, moving 6 meters north. Another sphere moves west 8 meters and north 2 meters. The last two spheres both move east 5 meters and south 4 meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the center of mass of the system?arrow_forwardFrank “Cannonball” Richards was an American entertainer and vaudeville performer. He was famous for having incredibly strong abdominal muscles. In feats of strength, he would often let people punch him in the stomach, jump on him, and even hit him with sledgehammers. However, his greatest claim to fame was being shot in the stomach with a 47-kg (104 lb) cannonball (see the photoLinks to an external site.). While performing, Richards limited this demonstration to just twice a day, since it was quite painful. He would live a long life and pass away at age 81 in 1969. If the speed of the cannonball was 10.0 m/s right before it collided with Richards and the speed of the cannonball was 0.87 m/s right after the collision, what was Richards’s speed immediately after being struck by the cannonball? Assume Richards’s mass was 86 kg.arrow_forwardIn period of 1.0 s, 5.0×1023 nitrogen molecules strike a wall of area 8.0 cm2. If the molecules move at 300.0 m/s and strike the wall head-on in perfectly elastic collision, find the pressure exerted on the wall.

Inside the boxcar (whose mass when empty is 3000 kg) a tank containing 1700 kg of water is located at the left end. The tank is 1.1 m long and 2.4 m tall. At some point the walls of the tank start to leak, and the water fills the floor of the boxcar uniformly. Assume that all the water stays in the boxcar. After all the water has leaked out what will be the final velocity of the boxcar? (Take movement to the right as positive. Assume that the mass of the boxcar is evenly distributed.) Submit Answer Tries 0/8 What is the displacement of the boxcar 6 S after the water has settled in the bottom. (Take positive displacement as being to the right.)

- 1. As part of your role at a heavy-goods vehicle manufacturer, you have been asked to determine the drag caused by the boundary layer developing along a section of the trailer roof, which can be treated as having constant pressure, as the truck travels at 10 m/s. The velocity profile in this region is given by: - A (+ 1) + 1 us where us is the velocity at the edge of the boundary layer. A and B are constants.arrow_forwardStrictly don't use chat gpt.

- In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. Assume that the blood's speed is 56.5 cm/s. The mass of the person + platform is 54.0 kg. The platform moves 5.95 ✕ 10−5 m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass (in g) of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person, and the person + platform is initially at rest. (Also assume that the changes in velocity are instantaneous.)arrow_forward6) Locate the center of mass of the following molecules: (a) The HCl molecule has a dumbbell shape, as shown below, with the atoms separated by 1.30 × 10−10 m.
