Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given n particles of masses m1, m2, .... mn located at points (x1, y1), ... (xn,yn) the coordinates of the center of mass are given by

[tex] x_c = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}m_ix_i}{\sum_{i=1}^{n}m_i}[/tex]

[tex] y_c = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}m_iy_i}{\sum_{i=1}^{n}m_i}[/tex]

So, using this formulas we get that

[tex] x_c = \frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]

[tex] y_c = \frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]

which corresponds to answer D

Answer:

The correct answer is D.
