The drawing shows a human figure approximately in a sitting position. For the purposes of this problem, there are three parts to the figure, and the center of mass of each one is shown in the drawing. These parts are: (1) the torso, neck, and head (total mass = 42.0 kg) with a center of mass located on the y axis at a point 0.355 m above the origin, (2) the upper legs (mass = 19.5 kg) with a center of mass located on the x axis at a point 0.178 m to the right of the origin, and (3) the lower legs and feet (total mass = 10.5 kg) with a center of mass located 0.487 to the right of and 0.206 m below the origin. Find the (a) x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the center of mass of the human figure. Note that the mass of the arms and hands (approximately 12% of the whole-body mass) has been ignored to simplify the drawing. (a) Number (b) Number Units Units
A solid sphere of mass, M = 5.0 kg, and radius, R = 0.100 m is placed on two blocks so that it’s centre of mass lies at the origin as shown on the right. A bullet of mass, m = 0.100 kg, and with an x coordinate of b = 0.04 m strikes the sphere from below with a vertical velocity, v = 65 m/s and embeds in the sphere coming to rest at the location (-b,0) in the diagram below. Since there is no momentum in the horizontal direction, after the bullet hits the sphere , it will rise up to some maximum height and then fall back to its initial position on the two blocks. While the sphere is in the air it will rotate. What is the magnitude of the angle (in degrees) through which the sphere will rotate before it makes contact with the two blocks again?
A thin rod with a length of 4.0 m and a mass of 4.2 kg is initially at rest. It is capable of spinning around a frictionless axle that goes through the top of the rod. A 2.5 kg mass of clay collides perfectly idealistically with the bottom of the rod. The clay was traveling perfectly horizontally with a speed of 12 m/s before the collision. How fast will the rod with the clay attached to it rotate around the axle in radians per second? The only external force on the clay/rod system come from the axle, which exerts no torque about itself.
Objects with a uniform mass distribution and a symmetric shape have a center of mass at the center of the object. For non-uniform objects, the center of mass needs to be determined experimentally. To measure the center of mass of such an object, a pivot is placed in the middle of a board and the top of the non-uniform object is placed to the right of the pivot. When a uniform 10.0 kg mass has its center placed 60.0 cm to the left of the pivot the system balances perfectly (as shown below). The mass of the non-uniform object is measured with an electronic scale in the lab and found to beM = 39.8 kg . Top of non-uniform object 10.0 kg M 60.0 cm Part A Where is the center of mass of the non-uniform object? (report the location from the top of the object, and in cm) ΑΣΦ ? dCM = ст
