The best answer is A) <span>keep moving at a constant velocity until some forces act on them

As the man you're probably tired of hearing about said:

"Every object persists in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless a new force acts upon it"
This is Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion, or the law of inertia.

Put more simply, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and tend the maintain the same velocity (direction and speed) and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. </span>

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

$I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }$

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

$m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi) - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg$

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

After rubbing a balloon on your shirt, your hair sticks up when the balloon is near your head. Explain how tiny particles on you

skad [1K]

Almost right. protons are positive and electrons are negative. so when you run the balloon on your hair, electrons are transferred between them (i’m not sure which direction) and now one is positively charged as it lost negative particles and one is negative as it gained negative particles (electrons). opposite charges attract

Briefly answer the following questions. a) A clock is mounted on the wall. As you look at it, what is the direction of the angul

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The direction of angular velocity vector of second hand will be along the line going into the plane of dial perpendicular to it.

b ) If the angular acceleration of a rigid body is zero, the angular velocity will remain constant.

c ) If another planet the same size as Earth were put into orbit around the Sun along with Earth the moment of inertia of the system will increase because the mass of the system increases. Moment of inertia depends upon mass and its distribution around the axis.

d ) Increasing the number of blades on a propeller increases the moment of inertia , because both mass and mass distribution around axis of rotation increases.

e ) It is not possible that a body has the same moment of inertia for all possible axes because a body can not remain symmetrical about all axes possible. Sphere has same moment of inertia about all axes passing through its centre.

f ) To maximize the moment of inertia of a flywheel while minimizing its weight, the shape and distribution of mass should be such that maximum mass of the body may be situated at far end of the body from axis of rotation . So flywheel must have thick outer boundaries and this should be

attached with axis with the help of thin rods .

g ) When the body is rotating at the same place , its translational kinetic energy is zero but its rotational energy can be increased

at the same place.
