You are sitting at the center of a large turntable at an amusement park as it is set spinning freely. You decide to crawl towards the edge of the turntable. Rotational speed will decrease

There is no external torque

hence , the angular momentum of the table is conserved

L (initial) = L ( final)

since , L = m*v*r

where

m = mass

v = velocity

r = radius

If  the person is crawled towards the outer rim, then the rotational inertia of the turntable will increase. In order to conserve the angular momentum , its rotational speed will decrease as mass and radius cannot be altered .

A Hertzsprung-Russel diagram is shown. Which stars are best characterized as having high temperatures and low luminosities?
guapka [62]

White dwarfs

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hertzsprung-Russel graph is a 2-dimensional graph, plotting star’s luminosity against temperature they emit.

White dwarfs are the star exhibiting high temperatures and low luminosities. These stars are extremely dense and mass comparable to that of the sun.

The main cause of low luminosities in the absence of fusion reaction inside the core of the star. Faint luminosity is provided by the thermal energy of the star. They are considered to be in the final stage of evolution having masses in the range of 10 solar mass (hence not enough to form a star)

The tortoise and the hare are having a race over a course of length 0.52 km. The tortoise crawls along at a constant 0.075 m/s w
EastWind [94]

Answer:the hare slept for 1 hr 55minutes.

Explanation: distance is changed to meters = 520m

Speed=distance/time

Speed of tortoise is 0.075m/s=520m/t

Crops multiplying t= 520/0.075 = 6933.3 seconds.

Speed for hare 16.7m/s =260m/t

ie 260m is half of the distance.

t =15.56seconds

Therefore the time slept by the hare = 6933.3- 15.56= 6917.74 seconds.

Converting to hours = 1hr. 55minutes is the time the hare slept.

Why is carbon is considered tetravalent?
valentina_108 [34]
The word tetravalent means having a valence of four because of the prefix - tetra. Carbon is considered tetravalent because it has four electrons in its outermost orbital. In order to follow the octet rule, it has to share four other electrons with other atoms. Thus, the answer is the first choice.
