| The drawing shows a human figure in a sitting position. For purposes of this problem, there are three parts to the figure, and the center of mass of each one is shown in the drawing. These parts are: (1) the torso, neck, and head (total mass = 41 kg) with a center of mass located on the y axis at a point 0.39 m above the origin, (2) the upper legs (mass = 17 kg) with a center of mass located on the x axis at a point 0.17 m to the right of the origin, and (3) the lower legs and feet (total mass = 9.9 kg) with a center of mass located 0.43 m to the right of and 0.26 m below the origin. Find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass of the human figure. Note that the mass of the arms and hands (approximately 12% of the whole-body mass) has been ignored to sim- *64. plify the drawing. 0.39 m 0.26 m 0.17 m 0.26 m

|A small device of mass 3.00 kg is sliding at 4.00 m/s along the x-axis on a horizontal frictionless surface. When it reaches the origin, it explodes into two pieces. One, of mass 1.00 kg, slides off at a velocity of 5.55 m/s at an angle of 50.0° above the x-axis. The other piece, of mass 2.00 kg slides off with an unknown velocity 02f. What is the kinetic energy of that second piece?
