Explanation Given info: The mass of the cartons of cereal is 0.62 kg , the length of the basket is 0.61 m and the mass of the milk is 1.9 kg . The formula of x -coordinate of the center of mass of any system is, x = m 1 x 1 + m 2 x 2 m 1 + m 2 (1) Here, m 1 is the mass of the first object. m 2 is the mass of the second object. x 1 is the position of the first mass. x 2 is the position of the second mass. Consider the left end of the basket as origin then the position of the mass of the two cartons is, x 1 = 0 m The total mass of the two cartons is, m 1 = 2 ( 0.62 kg ) = 1.24 kg As the center of mass is at center of the basket, x = L 2 Here, L is the length of the basket. Substitute 0.61 m for L in above expression

Consider a single square loop of wire of area A carrying a current I in a uniform magnetic field of strength B. The field is pointing directly up the page in the plane of the page. The loop is oriented so that the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the plane of the page (this means that the normal vector for the loop is always in the plane of the page!). In the illustrations below the magnetic field is shown in red and the current through the current loop is shown in blue. The loop starts out in orientation (i) and rotates clockwise, through orientations (ii) through (viii) before returning to (i). (i) Ø I N - - I N - (iii) (iv) (v) (vii) (viii) a) [3 points] For each of the eight configurations, draw in the magnetic dipole moment vector μ of the current loop and indicate whether the torque on the dipole due to the magnetic field is clockwise (CW), counterclockwise (CCW), or zero. In which two orientations will the loop experience the maximum magnitude of torque? [Hint: Use the…

Please help with calculating the impusle, thanks! Having calculated the impact and rebound velocities of the ping pong ball and the tennis ball calculate the rebounding impulse: 1.Measure the weight of the balls and determine their mass. Tennis ball: 0.57 kg Ping Pong Ball: 0.00246 kg The impulse, I, is equal to the change in momentum, Pf-Pi. Note the sign change, i.e., going down is negative and up is positive. The unit for momentum is kg-m/s. The change is momentum, impulse, is often givens the equivalent unit of N-S, Newton-Second

5. Three blocks, each with mass m, are connected by strings and are pulled to the right along the surface of a frictionless table with a constant force of magnitude F. The tensions in the strings connecting the masses are T1 and T2 as shown. m T1 T2 F m m How does the magnitude of tension T₁ compare to F? A) T₁ = F B) T₁ = (1/2)F C) T₁ = (1/3)F D) T₁ = 2F E) T₁ = 3F
