Two identical twins hold on to a rope, one at each end, on a smooth, frictionless ice surface. They skate in a circle about the

center of the rope (the center of mass of the two-body system) and perpendicular to the ice. The mass of each twin is 78.0 kg. The rope of negligible mass is 4.0 m long and they move at a speed of 4.30 m/s.
(a) What is the magnitude, in kg · m2/s, of the angular momentum of the system comprised of the two twins?
___________kg · m2/s.
(b) They now pull on the rope and move closer to each other so that the rope between them is now half as long. Determine the speed, in m/s, with which they move now.
__________m/s.
(c) The two twins have to do work in order to move closer to each other. How much work, in joules, did they do?
____________J.

Answer:

Part a)

L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s

Part b)

v' = 8.60 m/s

Part c)

W = 4326.7 J

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two twins

so here we will use

L = mv r + mvr

L = 2(78 \times 4.30 \times 4)

L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s

Part b)

Since angular momentum is conserved here as there is no external torque

so we will have

2(m v r) = 2( m v' \frac{r}{2})

v' = 2v

v' = 8.60 m/s

Part c)

Work done by both of them = change in kinetic energy

so we have

W = 2(\frac{1}{2}mv'^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2)

W = m(v'^2 - v^2)

W = 78(8.60^2 - 4.3^2)

W = 4326.7 J

An elevator ascends at a constant speed of 4 m/s, how much time is required for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards?
vlabodo [156]

We simply use the formula,

velocity =\frac{distance}{time}

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s.

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.

A net force of -1,000 Newtons is delivered to the object over a time of .02 seconds. Calculate the new velocity of the object.
MariettaO [177]
The change in velocity (v₂ - v₁) is

                <em> (-20) / (the object's mass)</em>.

Call it a crazy hunch, but I can't shake the feeling that there was more
to the question before the part you copied, that mentioned the object's
mass, and its velocity before this force came along.

Which statement describes the process of subduction? Convection currents pull a plate into the mantle. One plate slides beneath
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  • Subduction is the geological process in which one plate moves under another due to gravitational pull. The regions where this process occurs called subduction zones.
  • A subduction is a tectonic plate which is made up of crust and upper layer of mantle. These two layers are called as lithosphere.
  • Example:  South America, central America and cascade volcanoes. In which the oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate.

If Star A and Star B have the same absolute magnitude, but Star A is brighter, what does that tell us?
Hatshy [7]
We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.

In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic
Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.
