Magnetic stripes on the sea floor

Explanation:

The observation of magnetic stripes patterns at the region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge galvanized the evidence that sea floor spreading has been on for several millions of years.

  • Geomagnetic field of the earth is similar to that of bar magnet having the north and south pole.
  • It originates from the movement of iron-nickel within the outer core.
  • This geomagnetic field causes the magnetization of magnetic minerals in rock.
  • When freshly formed magma is brought to the surface at the mid oceanic ridge area, the prevailing magnetic field causes the magnetic minerals in the magma to cool in such a way that they align their domains to that of the field.
  • The magnetic field of the earth can reverse and take different geometry. Sometimes, its intensity is very strong and at other times it is weak.
  • The magnetic minerals in melts bear these records.
  • As new materials are brought up, they get magnetized.

A solid cylinder of mass 7 kg and radius 0.9 m starts from rest at the top of a 20º incline. It is released and rolls without sl
ohaa [14]

Answer:

157.8 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the cylinder = 7 kg

h = height difference in top and bottom of the incline = 2.3 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

TE = Total Energy at the bottom

PE = Gravitational potential energy at the top

Using conservation of energy

Total Energy at the bottom = Gravitational potential energy at the top  

TE = PE

TE = m g h

TE = (7) (9.8) (2.3)

TE = 157.8 J

A 325 N force applied to an object for 5.5 s. What’s the impulse?
vazorg [7]
According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
              = 325 × 2.2 sec
              = 715 Ns

In an experiment involving pendulums, you want to see how changing the mass of the bob affects the period (amount of time) of a
Alborosie

Answer:

The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.

Which of these is an example of the meaning of inertia in physics
Vladimir79 [104]
The correct option is A.
In physics, inertia has to do with Newton's first law of motion which states that an object will continue in its state of rest or in motion unless it is acted upon by a force. Thus, inertia refers to the tendency of an object to continue its motion in a straight line at constant velocity. In the question given above, the car that its brake failed would have continue moving indefinitely if it did not crash into another car, that is, it will continue in its state of motion.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records (1990 edition, p. 169), the highest rotary speed ever attained was 2010 m/s (450
Valentin [98]

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every moment. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circle that gives rise to centripetal acceleration, the mathematical expression is given as,

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v =  Tangential Velocity

r = Radius

The linear velocity was 2010m/s in a radius of 0.159m, then the centripetal acceleration is

a = \frac{2010^2}{0.159}

a = 2.54*10^7m/s^2

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the end of the rod is 2.54*10^7m/s^2
