A wooden block is cut into two pieces, a piece AA with five times the mass of the other piece, B. A depression is made in both faces of the cut so that a firecracker can be placed in it with the block reassembled. The reassembled block is set on a rough-surfaced table, and the fuse is lit. When the firecracker explodes inside, the two blocks separate and slide apart.
a) What is the ratio of the magnitudes of the distances each block travels?
Sulfur dioxide 1SO22 consistsof two oxygen atoms (each of mass 16 u, where u is defined inProblem 39) and a single sulfur atom (of mass 32 u). The centerto-center distance between the sulfur atom and either of the oxygen atoms is 0.143 nm, and the angle formed by the three atoms is120°, Find the x and y coordinates of thecenter of mass of this molecule.
The drawing shows a sulfur dioxide molecule, SO2. It consists of two oxygen atoms and a sulfur atom. A sulfur atom is twice as massive as an oxygen atom. Using this information and the data provided in the drawing, find the center of mass of the sulfur dioxide molecule. Express your answers in nanometers (1 nm = 10-9 m).
