A certain carbon monoxide molecule consists of a carbon atom of mass mc = 12 u and an oxygen atom of mass mo = 15 u that are separated by a distance of d = 109 pm, where "u" is an atomic unit of mass. Write a symbolic equation for the center of mass of the carbon monoxide molecule relative to the position of the oxygen atom. This expression should be in terms of the masses of the atoms and the distance between them.
A water molecule consists of an oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms bound to it (see the figure below). Suppose the angle between the two bonds is 110°. If the bonds are 0.100 nm long, where is the center of mass of the molecule? (Take the origin to be the center of the oxygen atom and the x axis to be along the dotted line.) X = X Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. nm y = x Consider carefully whether the correct answer is exactly zero, or just a very small number. nm 0.100 nm H 53° 53° 0.100 nm H

An x-y plane is defined by a football playing surface. An Army running back with a mass of 86.4 kg runs with a velocity of 8.90 m/s orientated at 15.00 counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. A Navy linebacker with a mass of 106 kg moves with a velocity of =(-2.401 +7.32)) m/s. The two football players collide and stick together. Assume the system comprised of the two football players is closed and isolated. a. Write down the conservation laws and physics equations that apply for this problem: b. Calculate the velocity of the players immediately after the collision. Report your answer in unit-vector notation.
Ricardo, of mass 80 kg, and Carmelita, who is lighter, are enjoying Lake Merced at dusk in a 26 kg canoe. When the canoe is at rest in the placid water, they exchange seats, which are 3.0 m apart and symmetrically located with respect to the canoe's center. Ricardo notices that the canoe moves 47 cm horizontally relative to a pier post during the exchange and calculates Carmelita's mass. What is it?
An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of mp = 19.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at Vj = 2.10 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed vp.f of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? Ub.f = m/s
A tabletop gamer has designed a game that requires three dice to be thrown onto a tray with a measurement grid. To add an extra degree of randomness, the coordinates of the center of mass of the three dice are used as well. The masses of the three dice are 11.10 g, 13.70 g, and 17.30 g, and their respective coordinates after one particular throw are (0.2810 m,−0.2330 m), (−0.1910 m,0.2890 m), and (−0.4790 m,−0.2210 m). What are the resulting coordinates of the center of mass of the dice, xcm and ycm? xcm = ? m ycm = ? m

In a very busy off-campus eatery, one chef sends a 201 g broccoli-tomato-pickle-onion-mushroom pizza sliding down the counter from left to right at 1.79 m/s. Almost simultaneously, the other chef launches a 335 g veggie burger (with everything, but hold the horseradish) along the same counter from right to left at 2.47 m/s. The two delicacies collide head-on at the given speeds. The counter is practically friction-free due to accumulated grease. The two delicacies merge into a single, unbelievably savory serving. In what direction does the merged meal move, if it moves at all? A) does not move B) to the right C) to the left At what speed does it move in m/s? Enter a positive number.
