Nixon is a tile worker, he hates physics and only likes cutting and shaping his tiles. Her boss has given him a tile. It has a width of 50 cm. The tile must fit around a corner of a fireplace so a piece is sawed out. The extracted piece is a smaller square and its side length is only 25.0 cm. Because of the cutout segment, the center of mass of the ceramic tile shifts a bit from point A to point B. Nixon needs help to find the distance between point A and B the ceramic tile her boss gave him. 50cm 25cm 8

The pendulum apparatus in the video has a total mass of 578 grams. The pendulum rod has a small mass of 20 grams so you can treat all the mass of the pendulum as if it were hanging at the end which is called the “bob”. The mass of the rod should be taken into account in determining the center of mass of the apparatus which is 71.3 cm (not the length of the pendulum). A marble which hass a mass of 10 g is fired at the pendulum bob which has clay on it which allows the marble to stick to it. Derive a formula for measuring the velocity of the marble (vm) as a function of the mass of the marble mm, the mass of the marble/bob mmb and the velocity of the marble and bob vmb using the conservation of momentum.
A stationary firecracker explodes into two pieces. The piece shot to the right has a mass of 0.07 kg and is traveling 45 m/s. How fast is the smaller 0.04 kg piece, which travels to the left? Ignore friction and air resistance.
A crate is attached to a winch or pulley that pulls the crate upwards. The crate has a mass of 120 kg and the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the crate and surface is 0.60 and 0.50, respectively. The crate starts from rest and the surface is measured 30° from the horizontal. If the pulley exerts a tension T = 1220 + 200t, a. What is the impulse applied to the crate during the first second of motion? b. After 1 second, what is the velocity of the crate? c. Compute the power transmitted to the winch after the first second.
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?
A girl and a boy stand at opposite ends of a 5 m long uniform board with mass 50 kg. The girl’s mass is 30 kg and the boy’s mass is 40 kg. Where is the center of mass of the girl/board/boy system measured relative to the girl?
You’ve been given the challenge of balancing a uniform, rigid meter-stick with mass M = 110 g on a pivot. Stacked on the 0-cm end of the meter stick are n identical coins, each with mass m = 2.9 g, so that the center of mass of the coins is directly over the end of the meter stick. The pivot point will be measured from the 0-cm end of the meter stick. What is the minimum number of coins you would have to stack at the 0-cm mark if the distance was less than 9.99 cm? Round to the nearest whole coin.
John’s mass is 87.7 kg, and Barbara’s is 59.9 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.3 m, while she is standing on the x axis at xB = +2.10 m. They switch positions. How far and in which direction does their center of mass move as a result of the switch?
Review. As shown in Figure P8.26, a light string that does not stretch changes from horizontal to vertical as it passes over the edge of a table. The string connects m1 , a 3.50- kg block originally at rest on the horizontal table at a height h = 1.20 m above the floor, to m2 , a hanging 1.90-kg block originally a distance d = 0.900 m above the floor. Neither the surface of the table nor its edge exerts a force of kinetic friction. The blocks start to move from rest. The sliding block m1 is projected horizontally after reaching the edge of the table. The hanging block m2 stops without bouncing when it strikes the floor. Consider the two blocks plus the Earth as the system. (a) Find the speed at which m1 leaves the edge of the table. (b) Find the impact speed of m1 on the floor. (c) What is the shortest length ofthe string so that it does not go taut while m1is in flight? (d) Is the energy of the systemwhen it is released from rest equal to the energy of the system just before m1…
A 17.0 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x-axis with a speed of 180 m/s when it breaks into three parts due to an internal explosion. One part, with a mass of 8.0 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 190 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 5.00 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 410 m/s. What is y-component of velocity of the third part? (Your result must be in units of m /s. No need decimal place and maximum of 2% of error is accepted in your answer.)
A metal cannonball of mass m rests next to a tree at the very edge of a cliff 36.0 m above the surface of the ocean. In an effort to knock the cannonball off the cliff, some children tie one end of a rope around a stone of mass 80.0 kg and the other end to a tree limb just above the cannonball. They tighten the rope so that the stone just clears the ground and hangs next to the cannonball. The children manage to swing the stone back until it is held at rest 1.80 m above the ground. The children release the stone, which then swings down and makes a head-on, elastic collision with the cannonball, projecting it horizontally off the cliff. The cannonball lands in the ocean a horizontal distance R away from its initial position. (a) Find the horizontal component R of the cannonball’s displacement as it depends on m. (b) What is the maximum possible value for R, and (c) to what value of m does it correspond? (d) For the stone– cannonball–Earth system, is mechanical energy conserved…
