Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The Earth is about 4x bigger than the moon. Scientists speculate that the moon was once part of Earth, until something hit the Earth, and broke off a large chunk of it. These pieces were flung off the Earth, and began to orbit it. Slowly, the pieces were mashed together by gravity, and formed the moon.

uppose a wheel is initially rotating at 10.0 rad/s while undergoing constant angular acceleration reaching a speed of 30.0 rad/s

Paul [167]

Answer:

t = 22.2 s

Explanation:

angular distance covered in the 36.0 s is

θ = ω(avg)t = ½(10.0 + 30.0)36 = 720 radians

720/2 = 360 radians

α = Δω/t = (30 - 10)/36 = 5/9 rad/s²

θ = ω₀t + ½αt²

360 = 10.0t + ½(5/9)t²

0 = (5/18)t² + 10.0t - 360

0 = t² + 36t - 1296

t = (-36 ±√(36² - 4(1)(-1296))) / 2

t = (-36 ±√(6480)) / 2

t = -18 ±√1620

we ignore the negative time result as it occurs before we care.

t = -18 + √1620 = 22.249223... s

A box is sliding down an incline tilted at a 11.1° angle above horizontal. The box is initially sliding down the incline at a sp

raketka [301]

Answer:s=0.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Inclination $\theta =11.1^{\circ}$

Speed of block(u)=1.6 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.39$

deceleration provided by friction=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta [/tex]

Using $v^2-u^2=2as$

Final velocity v=0

$0-1.6^2=2(g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta )s$

$s=\frac{-1.6^2}{2\cdot (9.8\sin 11.1-0.39\times 9.8\times \cos 11.1)}$

s=0.68 m

A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a dra

bija089 [108]

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}$

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration, $C_d$ is the drag coefficient, $\rho$ is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:

$A=\frac{A_s}{2}=\frac{930cm^2}{2}=465cm^2\\465cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{10^4cm^2}=0.0465m^2\\560g*\frac{1kg}{10^3g}=0.56kg$

Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is $1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}$ .

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.56kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{(1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}(1)(0.0465m^2)}}\\v_t=13.58\frac{m}{s}$

Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:

$v_f^2=v_o^2+2gh\\v_f=\sqrt{2gh}\\v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5m)}\\v_f=9.9\frac{m}{s}$

A type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields is called

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.

To understand it better:

This radiation is spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges and their sources can be natural or man-made.

It should be noted that the energy of electromagnetic radiation can vary and depending on its frequency it can be useful for various situations.
