Question

In the figure, three uniform thin rods, each of length L = 17 cm, form an inverted U. The vertical rods each have a mass of 17 g; the horizontal rod has a mass of 30 g. What are (a) the x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the system's center of mass? (Give your answer in cm) Number Units Number Units In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.03 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.53 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.560 m/s and v2 = 1.38 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) enters and (b) leaves block 1. Number Uints Number Units
