Coco is a construction worker monkey, he is not good at physics. He has been given a tile of concrete. Its width is 50 cm. The tile must fit around a corner of a building so a piece is cut out. The cut out segment is a smaller square and it has a side length of 25cm. To get a better visualization, look at the image provided. Because of the cut out segment, the center of mass of the concrete tile shifts from point A to point B. Help Coco figure out the distance between point A and B on his concrete tile. Explain your steps. 50 cm dxB A CM

Raul kicked a soccer ball. The ball approached Raul's foot with a momentum of magnitude pi = 11.2 kg m/s. The ball left his foot with a momentum of magnitude pf = 14.2 kg m/s. The orientation of the initial and final momentum vectors is shown in the diagram above, with the smallest angle between the incoming and outgoing vectors being θ = 58 degrees, as shown. The ball was in contact with Raul's foot for an amount of time equal to 7.3 ms (that says milliseconds). Assuming all other forces are negligible by comparison, calculate the magnitude of the average force (in newtons) that Raul exerted on the ball during those 7.3 milliseconds.
The Beast, friend of Belle, is determined to get in shape so that he doesn’t lose Belle. He loads up a barbell with two 20 kg plates on the right side and two 20 kg plates on the left side. The barbell is 2.2 m long and its unloaded mass is 20 kg. The two 20 kg plates on the right side are locked in place at 35 cm and 40 cm from the right end of the bar. Beast is unbalanced and his form is terrible so the two 20 kg plates on the left side have slipped. One is 30 cm from the left end of the bar and the other is 20 cm from the left end of the bar. Where is the center of gravity of this barbell with the four plates?
if a stationary 3.2 obect explodes so that: a. one part that is 1.5 kg goes left with 2.6 m/s , what is the mass and velocity of the other part? b. One part that is 1.0 kg goes North at 3.4 m/s and one part that is 1.2 kg goes West at 3.0 m/s, what is the mass and velocity of the third part?

A freight train is being assembled in a trainyard. So far there is one boxcar with a mass of 55,000 kg at rest on the track. Another boxcar, with a mass of 80,000 kg, moves along the track and impacts the first car. The couplings on the cars interlock and they move together at a velocity of 1.4 m/s. What was the velocity of the second car before it impacted the first car?
A 64.5 kgkg astronaut is doing a repair in space on the orbiting space station. She throws a 2.35 kgkg tool away from her at 3.60 m/sm/s relative to the space station. With what speed will she begin to move? Express your answer with the appropriate units. n what direction will she begin to move? In what direction will she begin to move? She moves in the direction in which she throws the tool. She moves opposite to the direction in which she throws the tool.
