The law of conservation of angular momentum.

What is angular momentum?

Angular momentum is the rotational analog of linear momentum in physics. It is a conserved quantity, meaning the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant. Both the direction and magnitude of angular momentum are conserved.

What is the law of conservation of angular momentum?

The law of conservation of angular momentum asserts that a system's total angular momentum is conserved when there is no external torque present. In other words, the magnitude and direction of the total angular momentum of an isolated system remain constant.

According to the Nebular Theory, the solar system originated as a massive, slowly rotating cloud of gas measuring around one light-year in diameter. As the cloud cooled, its own gravity caused it to collapse. It distorted into a revolving pancake shape due to the conservation of angular momentum, which required it to spin faster as it shrank.

Hence, the law of conservation of angular momentum best explains why the solar nebula spun faster as it shrank in size.

You are given three resistors with the following resistances: R1 = 6.32 Ω, R2 = 8.13 Ω, and R3 = 2.29 Ω. What is the largest equ
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The largest equivalent resistance yu can build using these three resistors is a Serie Resistance with the value of R= 16.74 Ω

Explanation:

Adding Resistances in serie is the way to build de largest equivalent value possible.

Rt= R1+R2+R3

Rt= 6.32 + 8.13 + 2.29

Rt= 16.74Ω

What combines to form bonds in compounds?
Mila [183]
A chemical compound consists of 2 or more chemical elements. They can be separated into simpler substances. Atoms of elements can be combined to form compounds. Molecules are groups of 2 or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. Minerals are chemical compound that can be found in nature. Valence is a measure of the combining power of an element.Answer: A. Atoms of elements.

We make a graphic of this problem to define the angle.

The angle we can calculate through triangle relation, that is,

sin\theta = \frac{c}{QP}\\sin\theta = \frac{c}{R}\\\theta=sin^{-1}\frac{c}{R}

With this function we should only calculate the derivate in function of c

\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{R^2}}}(\frac{c}{R})'\\\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-c^2}}

That is the rate of change of \theta.

b) At this point we need only make a substitution of 0 for c in the equation previously found.

\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-0}}\\\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{R}

Hence we have finally the rate of change when c=0.

Answer:

The <u>Fruit juice </u> should be put in the cooler, because <u>it has the greatest heat capacity</u> and will therefore, <u>absorb the most heat for each degree it increases in temperature.</u>

Explanation:

in order to understand the answer above we need to know what specific heat capacity is

       Specific heat capacity  can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree  

     Looking at the specific heat of each substance suggested we see that the fruit juice has a higher specific heat capacity than others this is because it contains a higher amount of water , generally liquid states of substances have a higher specific heat capacity than other states. The specific heat capacity of fruit juice being the highest among the suggested substances means that it can absorb  more heat for each degree temperature of refrigerator.
