Answer:

176J

Explanation:

the explanation is that before the cat hits the ground the amount of kinetic energy builds up making it so that there is more energy

The kinetic energy of a rotating body is generally written as K=12Iω2, where I is the moment of inertia. Find the moment of iner
stira [4]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have a mass m revolving around an axis with an angular speed \omega, the distance from the axis is r. We are given:

\omega = 10 [rad/s]\\r=0.5 [m]\\m=13[Kg]

and also the formula which states that the kinetic rotational energy of a body is:

K =\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2.

Now we use the kinetic energy formula

K =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the tangential velocity of the particle. Tangential velocity is related to angular velocity by:

v=\omega r

After replacing in the previous equation we get:

K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2

now we have the following:

K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2 =\frac{1}{2}Iw^2

therefore:

mr^2=I

then the moment of inertia will be:

I = 13*(0.5)^2=3.25 [Kg*m^2]

Theo mixes cake batter and places it in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes. Explain what type of reaction baking a cake represents
Nataly_w [17]

Baking a cake creates a endothermic reaction. When heated, the baking soda/powder reacts, the eggs change form, and everything else follows suit. The baking soda/powder creates the rising of the cake.

ziro4ka [17]
A). No. Condensation happens when you take heat out of a gas.

b). No.  I'm not sure what transpiration is.

<u>c). Yes.</u> Evaporation happens when you add heat to a liquid.

d). No.  Sublimation sometimes happens when you add heat to a solid.

What is the hang time when the person moves 6 m horizontally during a 1.25 m high jump?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

1 sec

Explanation:

Horizontal distance (x) = 6m

Vertical distance (y) = 1.25m

Hang time is the duration the object is in the air before it reaches maximum height.

The time of free fall is given by

t = √2y/g

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2*1.25)/9.8

t = √2.5/9.8

t = 0.5secs

Hang time = 2*0.5

= 1 sec

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.
