Nicolaus Copernicus

This theory was first proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus was a Polish astronomer. He first published the heliocentric system in his book: De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, "On the revolutions of the heavenly bodies," which appeared in 1543.

svetoff [14.1K]

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

W = mgh

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

h = 14.1 sin7.3 km

here we have

h = 1.79 km

now from above equation

W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)

W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J

so work done will be given by above value

4) (5 points) Given are the magnitudes and orientations (with respect to x-axis) of 3
Kazeer [188]

Expand each vector into their component forms:

\vec A=(4.5\,\mathrm N)(\cos\theta_A\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta_A\,\vec\jmath)=(2.58\,\vec\imath+3.69\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N

Similarly,

\vec B=(-1.23\,\vec\imath+0.860\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N

\vec C=(-3.44\,\vec\imath-4.91\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N

Then assuming the resultant vector \vec R is the sum of these three vectors, we have

\vec R=\vec A+\vec B+\vec C

\vec R=(-2.09\,\vec\imath-0.368\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N

and so \vec R has magnitude

\|\vec R\|=\sqrt{(-2.09)^2+(-0.368)^2}\,\mathrm N\approx2.12\,\mathrm N

and direction \theta_R such that

\tan\theta_R=\dfrac{-0.368}{-2.09}\implies\theta_R=-170^\circ=190^\circ

A reasonable estimate of the moment of inertia of an ice skater spinning with her arms at her sides can be made by modeling most
Oxana [17]

Answer:

A)  I_{total} = 1.44 kg m², B) moment of inertia must increase

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined by

     I = ∫ r² dm

For figures with symmetry it is tabulated, in the case of a cylinder the moment of inertia with respect to a vertical axis is

      I = ½ m R²

A very useful theorem is the parallel axis theorem that states that the moment of inertia with respect to another axis parallel to the center of mass is

    I = I_{cm} + m D²

Let's apply these equations to our case

The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of the body and both arms

      I_{total}=I_{body} + 2 I_{arm}

       I_{body} = ½ M R²

The total mass is 64 kg, 1/8 corresponds to the arms and the rest to the body

       M = 7/8 m total

       M = 7/8 64

       M = 56 kg

The mass of the arms is

      m’= 1/8 m total

      m’= 1/8 64

      m’= 8 kg

As it has two arms the mass of each arm is half

     m = ½ m ’

     m = 4 kg

The arms are very thin, we will approximate them as a particle

    I_{arm} = M D²

Let's write the equation

     I_{total} = ½ M R² + 2 (m D²)

Let's calculate

    I_{total} = ½ 56 0.20² + 2 4 0.20²

    I_{total} = 1.12 + 0.32

    I_{total} = 1.44 kg m²

b) if you separate the arms from the body, the distance D increases quadratically, so the moment of inertia must increase

What is the relationship between elevation and energy (think about the same can dropped from different heights)?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Elevation would be showing you what height you are at, energy would be like what force your putting into the object.
