a body of mass 4 kg moves around a circle of radius 6 m with a constant speed of 12m/sec². calculate tw angular velocity and the
NeTakaya

Answer:

• Angular velocity is 2 m/s

• Centripetal force is 96 N

Explanation:

For angular velocity:

{ \rm{v =  \omega r}}

  • v is velocity
  • w is angular velocity
  • r is radius

{ \rm{ \omega =  \frac{v}{r} }} \\  \\ { \rm{ \omega =  \frac{12}{6} }} \\  \\  { \boxed{ \rm{ \omega = 2 \:  {ms}^{ - 1} }}}

For the centripetal force:

{ \rm{force = m { \omega}^{2}r }} \\  \\ { \rm{force = (4 \times  {2}^{2}  \times 6)}} \\  \\ { \rm{force = 96 \: newtons}}

Why does 30 kg mass at the top of a hill have more potential energy?
iVinArrow [24]
So when it comes to Gravitational Potential Energy the higher an object of mass is the more energy it has as the equation for EPG is = MGH so the M is Mass of the object , the G is the gravitational constant which on earth is roughly 9.8 m/s and the H is the height of the object. So the greater the H value is the more energy you'll have. An example would be using your 30kg mass say at a height of 10 meters would have the EPG of 2940 Joules of energy since EPG= MGH so EPG= (30)(9.8)(10) . Now if the object was at a height of 20 meters the EPG would be greater as EPG=(30)(9.8)(20) which would be 5880 joules of energy

What is inertia and how is it related to the newton's first law of motion?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.

Explanation:

Some sort of a local field, maybe not our A field, is really the cause of inertia. When you push on an object a gravitational disturbance goes propagating off into either the past or the future. Out there in the past or future the disturbance makes the distant matter in the universe wiggle.

Why do sex cells contain only half the number of chromosomes needed for offspring? Explain
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

None, egg cells don't have chromosomes. No, sex cells do have chromosomes. Meiosis reduces chromosome number so that sex cells (eggs and sperm) have a half set of chromosomes–one homolog of each pair. This is the haploid number.
