Rotational speed of an object around an axis is the numbers of turns of the object divided by time.

A girl is shown at position A on a swing when the seat is directly below the support bar. The seat is then at height A as shown

MrRa [10]

Answer:

1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.

2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.

Explanation:

Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.

The gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.

Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,

A cat jumps off a piano that is 1.3m high. The initial velocity of the cat is 3m/s at an angle of 37degrees above the horizontal

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$x=1.75m$

Explanation:

From the exercise we have that

$y_{o}=1.3m\\v_{o}=3m/s, \beta =37\\$

To find how far from the edge of the piano does the cat strike the floor, we need to calculate its time first

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

At the end of the motion y=0m

$0=1.3+3sin(37)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}$

Solving for t

$t=-0.36 s$ or $t=0.73s$

Since the time can't be negative the answer is t=0.73

Knowing that we can calculate how far does the cat strike the floor

$x=v_{ox}t=3cos(37)(0.73)=1.75m$

The gravitational force between two objects (mass1 = 10kg, mass2 = 6kg) is measured when the objects are 12 centimeters apart. I

Yanka [14]

Since the new distance is 3 times the old distance,
the new force is (1/3²) = 1/9th of the old force.

That's kind-of Choice-D, but I really don't like the way choice-D is worded.
"9 times smaller" is really pretty meaningless.

What happens when light rays pass through a concave lens?

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Concave lenses are thinner at the middle. Rays of light that pass through the lens are spread out (they diverge). A concave lens is a diverging lens. When parallel rays of light pass through a concave lens the refracted rays diverge so that they appear to come from one point called the principal focus.
