Answer:

Explanation:

Moon has no light of its own. It just shines because its surface reflects light from the sun and that's what we see.

Meeta used an elastic tape to measure the length of her window to stitch a curtain. Do you think she will be able to stitch a cu

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

She will not be able to measure the length of her window accurately due to instrumental error from her choice of instrument. The elastic nature of her tape would alter the measurement because it will stretch as she is taking her readings, thus reducing the true measurement of the length of her window.

To measure the length of her window, she could use an inelastic tape rule or a metre rule. These instruments would eliminate instrumental error.

A person of mass 70 kg stands at the center of a rotating merry-go-round platform of radius 2.9 m and moment of inertia 900 kg⋅m

Cloud [144]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of person, m = 70 kg

Radius of merry go round, r = 2.9 m

The moment of inertia, $I_1=900\ kg.m^2$

Initial angular velocity of the platform, $\omega=0.95\ rad/s$

Part A,

Let $\omega_2$ is the angular velocity when the person reaches the edge. We need to find it. It can be calculated using the conservation of angular momentum as :

$I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2$

Here, $I_2=I_1+mr^2$

$I_1\omega_1=(I_1+mr^2)\omega_2$

$900\times 0.95=(900+70\times (2.9)^2)\omega_2$

Solving the above equation, we get the value as :

$\omega_2=0.574\ rad/s$

Part B,

The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by :

$k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega_1^2$

$k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 900\times (0.95)^2$

$k_i=406.12\ rad/s$

The final rotational kinetic energy is given by :

$k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_1+mr^2)\omega_1^2$

$k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (900+70\times (2.9)^2)(0.574)^2$

$k_f=245.24\ rad/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

There is no mechanical advantage

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.

For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.

In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.

Can someone give me tips to passing AP Physics 1 with a solid A? Like, tips on how to memorize a lot of equations? Thank you!

Anna007 [38]

A good way for me to remember things is to study it, and to write it down! Say you want the formula for speed, I would write the formula multiple times on a piece of paper!

Here's a video that I haven't actually watched, I just looked it up! It might help you out though: <span>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wqrw4G79Kc</span>
