A1200-kg station wagon is moving along a straight highway at another car, with mass 1800 kg and speed has its center of mass 40.0 m ahead of the center of mass of the station wagon (fig. e8.54). (a) find the position of the center of mass of the system consisting

Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

Explanation:

Suppose A 1200 kg station wagon is moving along a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s.

Given that,

Mass of first wagon = 1200 kg

Mass of second wagon = 180 kg

Distance = 40 m

We need to calculate the position of the center of mass of the system

Using formula of center mass

Hence, Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

a displacement distance is size of displ

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
