Get started for freeUse Table 7–1 to calculate the position of the CM of an arm bent at a right angle. Assume that the person is 155 cm tall.
An atomic nucleus at rest decays radioactively into an alpha particle and a different nucleus. What will be the speed of this recoiling nucleus if the speed of the alpha particle is \(2.8 \times {10^5}\;{\rm{m/s}}\)? Assume the recoiling nucleus has a mass 57 times greater than that of the alpha particle.
When a high jumper is in a position such that his arms and lower legs are hanging vertically, and his thighs, trunk, and head are horizontal just above the bar, estimate how far below the torso’s median line the CM will be. Will this CM be outside the body? Use Table 7–1.
