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.

a disk initially at rest rotates with constant angular acceleration through an angel of 50 rad in 5 sec find the angular speed o
lisov135 [29]

Recall the formula,

∆<em>θ</em> = <em>ω</em>₀ <em>t</em> + 1/2 <em>α</em> <em>t</em> ²

where ∆<em>θ</em> = angular displacement, <em>ω</em>₀ = initial angular speed (which is zero because the disk starts at rest), <em>α</em> = angular acceleration, and <em>t</em> = time. Solve for the acceleration with the given information:

50 rad = 1/2 <em>α</em> (5 s)²

<em>α</em> = (100 rad) / (25 s²)

<em>α</em> = 4 rad/s²

Now find the angular speed <em>ω </em>after 3 s using the formula,

<em>ω</em> = <em>ω</em>₀ + <em>α</em> <em>t</em>

<em>ω</em> = (4 rad/s²) (3 s)

<em>ω</em> = 12 rad/s

uppose that 3 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 30 cm to a length of 45 cm. (a) How much work i
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

(a) The work done is 0.05 J

(b) The  force will stretch the spring by 3.8 cm

Explanation:

Given;

work done in stretching the spring from 30 cm to 45 cm, W = 3 J

extension of the spring, x = 45 cm - 30 cm = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The work done is given by;

W = ¹/₂kx²

where;

k is the force constant of the spring

k = 2W / x²

k = (2 x 3) / (0.15)²

k = 266.67 N/m

(a) the extension of the spring, x = 37 cm - 35 cm = 2 cm = 0.02 m

work done is given by;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W = ¹/₂ (266.67)(0.02)²

W = 0.05 J

(b) force = 10 N

natural length L = 30 cm

F = kx

x = F / k

x = 10 / 266.67

x = 0.0375 m

x = 3.75 cm = 3.8 cm

Thus a force of 10 N will stretch the spring by 3.8 cm

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power ge
Effectus [21]

Answer:

X=3976.078202kW \approx 3976kW

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Wind speedV_w=10m/s

Turbine blade diameter D=90m

Air density  \tau=1.25kg/m^3

Mechanical energy K.E =0.05kJ/kg

Generally the power generation potential of the wind turbine X is mathematically given as

  X=m'*K.E

Where

m'=\tau *\pi*D^2/4*V

m'=1.25 *\pi*90^2/4*10

m'=79521.56404kg/s \approx 79521.5kg/s

Therefore

X=m'*K.E

X=79521.56404*0.05

X=3976.078202kW \approx 3976kW

X=4.0MW
