5. Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 2.00 kg object is at +3.00 m, a 3.00-kg object is at +2.50 m, a 2.50-kg object is at the origin, and a 4.00-kg object is at -0.500 m. Where is the center of mass of these objects?

Step 1
\[ M_{total} = M_1 + M_2 + M_3 + M_4 \] \[ M_{total} = 2.00 kg + 3.00 kg + 2.50 kg + 4.00 kg \] \[ M_{total} = 11.50 kg \] ** Show more…
