Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the Sun is a circle in the sky and that creates a penumbra

Explanation:

A penumbra is basically a lighter and hazy outer part of the shadow. It is the partially shaded portion of the outer region of a shadow that is cast by an opaque object.

In the context, as the distance from the hand to the surface of the ground increases on a sunny day, the shadow of the hand that falls on the ground becomes fuzzier because the sun is an opaque object in the sky and it creates a penumbra which makes the shadow of the hand on the ground fuzzier as the distance is increased.

A day on a distant planet observed orbiting a nearby star is 21.5 hr. Also, a year on the planet lasts 69.3 Earth days. In other words, for the purposes of unit conversion, there are 24 hr in a day, 60 min in an hour, and 60 s in a minute, as it would for astronomers on Earth observing the planet. Calculate the average angular speed of the planet about its own axis of rotation in radians per second, with the second as measured on Earth. what is the speed of rotation? Calculate the average angular speed of the planet as it travels around its neighboring star, with the second as measured on Earth. what is the speed of orbit?

Answers

Answer:

Part A

The angular speed of rotation of the plane is 8.11781 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Part B

The angular speed of orbit of the planet is 1.04938 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s

Explanation:

The parameters of the planet are;

The duration of a day on the distant planet = 21.5 hr.

The duration of a year on the distant planet = 69.3 Earth days

Part A

The duration of a day = The time to make one complete revolution of 2·π radians

∴ The average angular speed about its axis, [tex]\omega_{rotation}[/tex] = Angle turned/Time

∴ [tex]\omega_{rotation}[/tex]  = 2·π/(21.5 × 60 × 60) s ≈ 8.11781 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The average angular speed of the planet about its own axis, [tex]\omega_{rotation}[/tex]  = 8.11781 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The angular speed of rotation of the plane [tex]\omega_{rotation}[/tex]  = 8.11781 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Part B

The time it takes the planet to revolve round the neighboring star once = 69.3 Earth days

Therefore, the average angular speed of the planet around its neighboring star, [tex]\omega _{Star}[/tex], is given as follows;

[tex]\omega _{Orbit}[/tex]  = 2·π/((69.3 × 24 × 60 × 60) s) = 1.04938 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s

The average angular speed of orbit, [tex]\omega _{Orbit}[/tex] = 1.04938 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s

The angular speed of orbit of the planet, [tex]\omega _{Orbit}[/tex] = 1.04938 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s.

in each of the following divide the second number by the first number and find the quotient:3/4,-3/8​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

We need to divide the second number by the first number and the numbers are 3/4,-3/8​.

First number = 3/4

Second number = -3/8

Dividing the second number by the first number.

So,

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{-3}{8}}{\dfrac{3}{4}}[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{b}}{\dfrac{c}{d}}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times \dfrac{d}{c}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{-3}{8}}{\dfrac{3}{4}}=\dfrac{-3}{8}\times \dfrac{4}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex]

So, the answer is (-1/2)

A 4 kg mass is moving at 8 m/s collides with a 2 kg mass moving at 5 m/s.
After the collision, both objects stick together, what is the velocity of the
two cars? *

Answers

Answer:

V = 7 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass 1, m₁ = 4 kg

Speed of the object 1, v₁ = 8 m/s

Mass 2, m₂ = 2 kg

Speed of object 2, v₂ = 5 m/s

After the collision, both objects stick together. Let V be the common velocity. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it.

[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\\V=\dfrac{4(8)+2(5)}{4+2}\\\\V=7\ m/s[/tex]

So, the velocity of two cars is 7 m/s.

Answers

Answer:

F_total = 10000 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the force is a vector and the best way to do the sum is that since the two tugs pull the boat with the same intensity and angle, the sum of the component of the force perpendicular to the movement becomes zero.

The components parallel to the movement of the tugs is

            ∑ F = 2 Fcos θ

let's calculate

a person travelled 350 m east from his home and returns back home an hour has displacement of_?​

Answers

Answer:

vector of zero magnitude

Explanation:

The displacement is a vector magnitude, therefore, in addition to being a module, it has direction and sense.

In this case it moved 350 m and then returned the same 350 m, so the total displacement is zero.

If we draw the vector, one has a directional direction to the right and the other direction to the left, therefore when adding the two vectors gives a vector of zero magnitude

An Athelice complete :Round of a circular track of diameter 200m in base Distance travelled by athletes And displacement

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 1256 m

Displacement = 0

Explanation:

Distance :

Distance may be defined as the actual length between two points along its path.

It is a scalar quantity and its value can be positive or zero.

Displacement :

Displacement is defined as the shortest length between two point , i.e. between the initial point and the final point.

It is a vector quantity and it has values which can be either positive or negative or zero.

From the question, the diameter of the circular track is, r = 200 m

∴ Distance travelled by an athlete is = circumference of the circular track

                                                            = 2πr

                                                            = 2 x 3.14 x 200

                                                            = 1256 m

 Displacement = 0  (since the original point coincides with the final point).

how far will an automobile move if 168000 j of work is created by 2000 n of force

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 84 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work done = 168,000 Joules

Force = 2,000 Newton

To find the distance covered by the automobile, we would use the formula;

[tex] Workdone = force * distance [/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] 168000 = 2000 * distance [/tex]

[tex] Distance = \frac {168000}{2000} [/tex]

Distance = 84 meters

A light ray bounces off a fish in your aquarium. It travels
through the water, into the glass side of the aquarium, and
then into air. As the light from the glass hits the air, the index of
refraction for air is much
than the index of refraction
for glass which causes the light to bend toward the angle that it
entered the air.

Answers

Answer:

Correct

Explanation:

Because the light can't travel as quickly in the water as it does in the air, the light bends around the pencil, causing it to look bent in the water. Basically, the light refraction gives the pencil a slight magnifying effect, which makes the angle appear bigger than it actually is, causing the pencil to look crooked.

A 3.23kg book falls off the top of a 3.01 m bookshelf. What is its kinetic energy right before it hits the ground? ( g= −9.81m/s2 )

Show work please

Answers

Answer:

K= 95.4 J

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the conservation of mechanical energy.

We set a reference system on the floor.

Starting point. Higher

          Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Just before taking the floor

           Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved because there is no friction

         Em₀ = Em_f

         mg h = K

         

The height is

        h = y -y₀

                 h = 0- y₀

let's calculate

       K =  3.23 (-9.81)  (-3.01)

5) Apply according to the Law of Universal Gravitation, is there a stronger gravitational force between you and Earth or an elephant and Earth? Why?

Answers

Answer:

Elephant and the eath because Fg is determined by Mass of an object.. So elephant has greater mass therefore, it's Fg is higher

According the universal  law of gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object.  An elephant weighs so much than a man and thus it will experience larger gravitational force from earth.

What is gravitational force?

Gravitational force is a resistive force by which an object attracts other objects towards its centre of mass. The force exerted by the object depends on the mass and the force experienced by the other object depends on its mass and distance between the two objects.

According to universal law of gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the object and distance from the ground. The expression for the law is written as:

[tex]\rm g = G \frac{M_{1} M_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Where, G is the universal gravitational constant and M1 and M2 be the masses of two objects which and r be the distance between them. As per this relation gravity decreases with increase in distance and increase with an increase in mass.

Therefore, a massive body such as an elephant will experience greater gravitational force from the earth.
