A force is applied to the rim of a disk that can rotate like a merry-go-round, so as to change its angular velocity. Its initial

and final angular velocities, respectively, for four situations are the following.
(a) -2 rad/s, 5 rad/s;
(b) 2 rad/s, 5 rad/s;
(c) -2 rad/s, -5 rad/s; and
(d) 2 rad/s, -5 rad/s.

Rank the situations according to the work done by the torque due to the force, greatest first.

Answer:

The work done by the torque is the same in each case.

Explanation:

Work-Energy Theorem can be used to calculate the work done by the torque in each case.

W = \Delta K\\W = K_2 - K_1 = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}I\omega_1^2\\

Let's apply this theorem to each case:

W_a = \frac{1}{2}I(5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(-2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)\\W_b = \frac{1}{2}I(5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)\\W_c = \frac{1}{2}I(-5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(-2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)\\W_d = \frac{1}{2}I(-5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)

As can be seen from the results, in each case the work done by the torque is the same.

A Ray of light falling on rough surface follows the laws of reflection but no image of the object placed before it is C explain
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The light rays falling on a rough surface does follow the laws of reflection. The light rays are incident parallel on the rough surface but due to uneven surface the light rays are not reflected parallel rather they are reflected in different direction. Hence, no image is formed.

What is empirical evidence and what's is it not
ladessa [460]
Empirical evidence is information acquired by observation or experimentation. This data is recorded and analyzed by scientists and is a central process as part of the scientific method.
As example of not empirical evidence:
Language, letters, words, truths, numbers, logic, mathematics, on and on.
All of these things do not have empirical existence. They exist only in the mind.

Inside a vacuum tube, an electron is in the presence of a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 320 N/C. (a) What is the ma
nignag [31]

(a) The magnitude of the acceleration of the electron is 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s².

(b) The speed of the electron after the given time is  4.78 x 10⁵ m/s.

<h3>Acceleration of the electron</h3>

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as follows;

F = qE

ma = qE

a = qE/m

a = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 320)/(9.11 x 10⁻³¹)

a = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s²

<h3>Speed of the electron</h3>

v = at

v = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s² x  8.50 x 10⁻⁹ s

v = 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s

If there are two photons with different energies, the one that has a higher energy (a) has the higher frequency (b) has the high
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(a) has the highest frequency

Explanation:

E = hf...where E(is the energy of a photon);h(is the planck's constant) and f is the frequency of the photon

Whereby this formula shows us that energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency

So hence if the energy is high then the frequency of the photon is also high

A golfer hits her tee-shot due north towards the fairway. Her shot has an initial velocity of 60 m/s. A 15 m/s wind is blowing i
vovangra [49]

Answer:

c=71.4m/s

\theta=8.54\textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Initial velocity of 60 m/s

Wind speed V_w= 15 m/s \angle  45 \textdegree

Generally Resolving vector mathematically

  sin(45\textdegree)15=10.6\\cos(45\textdegree)15=10.6

Generally the equation Pythagoras theorem is given mathematically by

c^2=a^2+b^2

c^2=10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2

c=\sqrt{10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2}

Therefore Resultant velocity (m/s)

c=71.4m/s

b)Resultant direction

Generally the equation for solving Resultant direction

\theta=tan^-1(\frac{y}{x})

Therefore

\theta=tan^-1(\frac{10.6}{70.6})

\theta=8.54\textdegree
