Because g varies so little over the extent of most structures, any structure's center of gravity effectively coincides with its center of mass. Here is a fictitious example where g varies more significantly. The figure shows an array of six particles, each with mass m, fixed to the edge of a rigid structure of negligible mass. The distance between adjacent particles along the edge is 1.00 m. Following are the values of g at each particle's location: Particle 1: g = 7.96 m/s² 7.76 m/s2 Particle 3: g = 7.54 m/s? = 7.40 m/s? Particle 5: g = 7.54 m/s² 7.76 m/s? Particle 2: g Particle 4: g Particle 6: g Using the coordinate system shown, find (a) the x coordinate xcom and (b) the y coordinate ycom of the center of mass of the six- particle system. Then find (c) the x coordinate xcog and (d) the y coordinate ycog of the center of gravity of the six-particle system. 6. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units

You release a 3-kg firecracker from rest. At t = 0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with speed 4 m/s. At this same instant, the firecracker begins to explode into two pieces with masses mtop = 1 kg and mbottom = 2 kg. At the end of the explosion (t = 0.8 s), the top piece is moving upward with speed 4 m/s.Determine the velocity of the bottom piece at t = 0.8 s.(Hints: Make a momentum vector diagram. Don’t forget to include impulse in your diagram!)
2. A 'small' asteroid with a mass of 1000kg is moving through deep space with a constant velocity of 30 m/s. Suddenly the small asteroid collides with a large asteroid possessing a mass of 10,000kg. The large asteroid was initially at rest and the collision causes the small mass to become completely embedded within the larger one so that they are now one combined mass. a. What is the speed of the combined mass system after the collision? b. How many Joules of energy were lost due to the collision?
