Answer:
0.958 m
Explanation:
So the total mass of the system is
M = 1.93 + 2.95 + 2.41 + 3.99 = 11.28 kg
let y be the distance from the center of mass to the origin. With the reference to the origin then we have the following equation
So the center of mass is 0.958 m from the origin
The only thing I can think of is if you have a thermos with cold or hot liquid and it is closed than it is an isolated energy system but if you take the lid off it would be an open energy system since it's losing its temperature.
