A thin spherical shell has a radius of 0.70 m. An applied torque of 860 N m gives the shell an angular acceleration of 4.70 rad/

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$I=182.97\ kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a spherical shell, r = 0.7 m

Torque acting on the shell, $\tau=860\ N$

Angular acceleration of the shell, $\alpha =4.7\ m/s^2$

We need to find the rotational inertia of the shell about the axis of rotation. The relation between the torque and the angular acceleration is given by :

$\tau=I\alpha$

I is the rotational inertia of the shell

$I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{860}{4.7}\\\\I=182.97\ kg-m^2$

So, the rotational inertia of the shell is $182.97\ kg-m^2$ .

Electromagnetic waves are ........... by shiny surfaces.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are reflected

Explanation:

Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. ... This concept is often termed the Law of Reflection.

Heights of men on a baseball team have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 166 cm 166 cm and a standard deviation of 5 cm

kaheart [24]

Answer:

95 %

99.7 %

Explanation:

$\mu$ = 166 cm = Mean

$\sigma$ = 5 cm = Standard deviation

a) 156 cm and 176 cm

$166-5\times 2=156$

$166+5\times 2=176$

From the empirical rule 95% of all values are within 2 standard deviation of the mean, so about 95% of men are between 156 cm and 176 cm.

b) 151 cm and 181 cm

$166-5\times 3 =151$

$166+5\times 3=181$

The empirical rule tells us that about 99.7% of all values are within 3 standard deviations of the mean, so about 99.7% of men are between 151 cm and 181 cm.
