Two particles of masses m1 and m2 , move uniformly in different circles of radii R1 and R2 R2 about origin in the x, y-plane. The x- and y-coordinates of the center of mass and that of particle 1 are given as follows (where length is in meters and tin seconds): x1(t)=4cos(2t) , y1(t)=4sin(2t) and: xCM(t)=4cos(2t) , yCM(t)=3sin(2t) . a. Find the radius of the circle in which particle 1 moves. b. Find the x- and y-coordinates of particle 2 and the radius of the circle this particle moves.

A water molecule consists of an oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms bound to it. The angle between the two bonds is 106°. If bonds are 0.100 nm long, where is the center of mass of the molecule?
To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.

During the filming of a certain movie scene, the director wants a small car (whose mass is m1) traveling due east at speed v1 to collide with a small truck (whose mass is m2) traveling north. The director also wants the collision to be arranged so that just afterward, the interlocked vehicles travel straight toward the camera. If the line between the camera and collision makes an angle of theta with respect to north, at what speed v2 should the trucker drive?
