A turntable is spinning on a frictionless axle when a ball of putty is dropped onto it from above. The putty sticks to the turnt

able when it lands. Is angular momentum conserved for the turntable and putty (the system) during this process?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Gravity and forces form the axle (external forces) do not cause forces that tend to cause rotation around the turntable's axle.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1) F = 24 N

2) Distance = 1 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

Initial velocity; u = 20 m/s

Final velocity; v = 0 m/s since it came to rest.

Time; t = 0.1 s

We can calculate acceleration from Newton's first equation of motion;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 20)/0.1

a = -200 m/s²

1) magnitude of the resistance will be;

F = ma

F = 0.12 × (-200)

F = -24 N

Since, we are dealing with the magnitude, we will take the absolute value. Thus, F = 24 N

2) To find the distance moved by the bullet, we know that;

Distance = Average speed × time

Thus;

Distance = ((v + u)/2) × t

Distance = ((0 + 20)/2) × 0.1

Distance = 1 m

Which of the following is not a way that astronomers can find how much dark matter there is in cluster of galaxies?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<em>b. Observe the radio waves coming from all dark matter; from the strength of the radio waves from each cluster, estimate the amount of dark matter needed to produce them.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The universe is thought to be made up of 85% dark matters. <em>Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect. This means that option b is wrong since radio wave is an electromagnetic wave</em>. Dark matter is a form of matter that makes up  about a quarter of the total mass–energy density of the universe. Dark matter was theorized due a variety of astrophysical observations and gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless there were more matter in the universe than can be seen.

xenn [34]
<span>The expected boiling point of a substance increases with an increasing molar mass of the substance. So I would expect the lighter compounds to boil at lower temperature. Also more polar molecules tend to boil at higher temperature. Pentane is the lightest of all three compounds, so it should boil the soonest. Heptane is a lot heavier than Pentane, but slightly lighter than Heptanol. So it should boil next. Heptanol is the heaviest of all of the molecules and is also quite polar compared to heptane. So it should have the highest of all the boiling points.</span>
