Define your system as two people walking in a parking lot. Person 1 has a mass of 85.0 kg, and person 2 has a mass of 93.0 kg. Defining the center of the lot to have position 0 i 0 j, person 1 is located at position -41.0 m i -20.0 m j and person 2 is located at position 65.0 m i 82.0 m j. A. What is the x-coordinate of the center of mass of your system

53.06

Explanation: Center of mass is an average of masses factored by their distance from a reference point. To determine the center of mass, it can be used the following formula: x =

For this question: The system is of two people and the reference is (0,0)

The center of mass for the x-coordinate is:

Note the terms 'i' and 'j' represents x-coordinate and y-coordinate, respectively

x =

x =

x =

x = 53.06

The x-coordinate of the center of mass is 53.06.

the body's situation won't change the forces are equal opposit and on the same body

the answer is 3.1 his answer is wrong mines is right
