Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4

irina [24]

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

$mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega$

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

$2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega$

$1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega$

$1.75 = 4.745\omega$

$\omega = 0.37 rad/s$

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?

Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2

Look at the circuit below. What is the voltage between points C and D?

stepan [7]

Option c) 1.5 V

Explanation:

As the circuit is build in series first we will find the current passing through the complete circuit. Current stays the same in each element is the series cirucuit, however, the voltage is different.

Voltage is given by the following formula:

V = IR

Because we have to find current through whole circuit, we will first find resistance of the whole circuit.

Equivalent Resistance R(eq): R1 + R2 = 60 + 60 = 120 ohm

Current passing through whole circuit be:

$I = \frac{V}{R(eq)}\\I = \frac{3}{120}$ = 0.025

Now we will find out the voltage between C and D:

Current stays the same in series circuit: I = 0.025 c

Resistance between C and D is, R = 60 ohm

Voltage becomes, V = IR = 0.025 * 60 = 1.5 V

C) An identical spring is pulled with a force or 75 N The elastie limit of the spring is 72N

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is plastic, not elastic.

Explanation:

Physically speaking, stress is equal to the axial force divided by effective transversal area of spring. In addition, springs have usually a linear relationship between stress and strain in elastic region, since they are made of ductile materials. Axial force is directly proportional to axial stress, which is also directly proportional to axial strain.

Then, if force is greater than force associated with elastic limit of the spring, then spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is plastic, not elastic.
