Answer:

The giant-impact theory is actually the preferred or current scientific hypothesis accepted for the Moon's origin.

Explanation:

The giant-impact theory is actually the preferred or current scientific hypothesis accepted for the Moon's origin. This appears that Moon evolved out of residue left over after a collision between Earth and Mars-sized celestial object around 4.5 billions year ago.

Sometimes the merging body is called Theia, named after the mythological Greek Titan that was Selene's mother, the Moon's goddess.

The earth and moon were created By a collision between two planetary objects Each five time the size of mars. Is the newest hypothesis.

Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte

Arada [10]

Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

$T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2$

$0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2} \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}$

Also;

$\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}$

Thus;

$k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}$

where;

$\delta$ = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

$k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}$

$k = 104.82\ \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

$T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3 \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0$
