Figure 10.31 shows an object of mass M with one axis through its center of mass and a parallel axis through an arbitrary point A.
Both axes are perpendicular to the page. The figure shows an arbitrary mass element dm and vectors connecting the center of mass, the point A, and dm. (a) Use the law of cosines (Appendix A) to show that

- A star of mass M = 2.09 × 1030kg is the origin of a coordinate system. A comet of mass m = 4.07 × 10¹2 kg is initially at location = 2.27 × 10¹5 m² +3.99 × 10¹¹m. The comet is travelling with velocity 7 = 3.16 × 10³. (The input below will accept answers with no more than 1% variation from the correct value.) Using conservation of energy and of angular momentum, what is the comet's distance from the star at the instant it's closest, and what is the comet's speed? (Hint: Consider the direction of the velocity relative to the position when the comet is at its closest point.) ||| = x 108m || = x105marrow_forwardThe four masses shown in the diagram are connected by massless, rigid rods.
