The four masses shown in the diagram are connected by massless, rigid rods. The mass of the A particle is 400 g, the mass of the B particle is 900 g, the mass of the C particle is 500 g, and the mass of the D particle is 450 g. The length of the rods is 10 cm. Consider the A particle to be the origin of the coordinate system. The x coordinate of the center of mass (in cm) is?
Consider the A particle to be the origin of the coordinate system. The y coordinate of the center of mass (in cm) is ?
Find the moment of inertia (in kg*m*m) about an axis that passes through mass A and is perpendicular to the page.
Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a diagram of a square with labeled vertices: A, B, C, and D. Each side of the square is indicated to be "x cm" in length. Points A and B are connected by a line segment, as are points B and C, C and D, and D and A.
Description of the Square:
- **Vertices**: A, B, C, D
- **Edges**: AB, BC, CD, DA
- **Side Length**: Each side is labeled as "x cm," meaning all sides of the square are equal in length.
This diagram is a visual representation of the properties of a square, emphasizing the equality of its side lengths. This can be used to explain concepts related to geometry, such as congruence, area, and perimeter in educational settings.

- The figure shows a glancing (not head-on) collision between two billiard balls (viewed from above). Ball 1 is initially moving with 2.0 m/s in the positive x direction; ball 2 is initially moving with 1.0 m/s in the opposite direction. After the collision, ball 2 moves at 1.41 m/s in the negative y direction. a) What are the direction (the angle θ from the x axis) and speed of ball 1 after the collision? b) Is this an elastic collision? If not, what fraction of the original energy is lost in the collision?arrow_forwardAssume that the origin goes through the A particle. The three masses are connected by massless, rigid rods of 30 cm length (center-to-center). If the mass of A is 450 g, the mass of B is 200 g and the mass of C is 150 g, what is the x-coordinate (in cm) of the center of mass? What is the y-coordinate (in cm) of the center of mass?arrow_forwardYou are sitting in a sled, at rest on a pond covered with nice, thick, frictionless ice. Your own mass is 73.7 kg, and the mass of the sled when empty is 11.7 kg. From shore, someone throws a baseball of mass 0.196 kg to you, and you catch it; the horizontal component of the ball s velocity is 30.6 m/s.

- Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2500 kgkg pickup traveling at 15.0 m/sm/s from east to west (the −x−x-direction), and the other is a 1600 kgkg sedan going from south to north (the +y+y-direction at 25.0 m/sm/s). Find the xx-component of the net momentum of this system. Express your answer in kilogram meters per second. Find the yy-component of the net momentum of this system. Express your answer in kilogram meters per second.arrow_forwardYou are sitting in a sled, at rest on a pond covered with nice, thick, frictionless ice. Your own mass is 94.9 kg, and the mass of the sled when empty is 13.0 kg. From shore, someone throws a baseball of mass 0.140 kg to you, and you catch it; the horizontal component of the ball s velocity is 32.1 m/s.

The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.38 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.93 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.550 m/s and v2 = 1.49 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1.arrow_forward
