Answer:

It has a mass of 40 kg.

Explanation:

Because Force = mass x Acceleration or F = m a, we could say that the mass is force/acceleration which in your case is 2,400/60 which equals 40 kg.

Two pieces of evidence for plate tectonics?

Reika [66]

Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together. Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed. Some life "rode" on diverging plates, became isolated, and evolved into new species.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2$

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

$I = mR^2/2$

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

$I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2$

So the friction torque is

$T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm$

The friction force is

$F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N$

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

$N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N$

Which process produces the energy radiated by the star when it becomes a main sequence star?

inysia [295]

The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
