To determine
What are the coordinates of the center of mass for the combination of the three objects shown in Figure?
The uniform rod has a mass of 10.0 kg, has a length of 30.0 cm and is located at x = 50 cm. The oval football has a mass of 2.00 kg, a semi major axis of 8.00 cm and is centered at x= -50 cm. The spherical volleyball has a mass of 1 kg, has a radius of 10 cm and is centered at y = -30 cm. Assume both balls are of uniform mass density.

Meter stick 1 has a piece of clay placed at the top of it. Both meter sticks are then pushed so that they fall to the ground. It take longer for meter stick 1 ( the one with the clay) to reach the ground. The reason is due to rotational inertia. (True or False)arrow_forward
