Why do you think that some asteroids tumble end over end through space while other asteroids rotate around their axis?

1 answer:

7 0

Imagine a lonely asteroid there in space, untouched, not rotating, just still. Then another asteroid passes by and comes into contact with that first asteroid. Upon collision, based on the conservation of elastic momentum, the asteroid that was once still moves; it may even spin if the incoming asteroid hit it at its side. Now asteroids have three angles or rotation (three dimensions): θ (theta - to the x-axis), φ (phi - to the y-axis), and let's say ψ (psi - to the z-axis). So these asteroids wobble through space, spinning like crazy.

I may have gone too in depth. Sorry, lol.
I hope this helped!

The box resting on the inclined plane above has a mass of 20kg. The incline sits at a 30o angle. Find the friction force between

tekilochka [14]

The friction force between the box and the incline if the box does not slide down the incline will be 0.577

The force preventing sliding against one another of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material components is known as friction. There are several kinds of friction: Two solid surfaces in touch are opposed to one another's relative lateral motion by dry friction.

Given the box resting on the inclined plane above has a mass of 20kg and the The incline sits at a 30 degree angle

We have to find the friction force between the box and the incline if the box does not slide down the incline

Since the frictional force F₁ must equal or exceed gravitational force F₂ down the incline:

F₁ = F₂

μmgcosΘ = mgsinΘ

μ = (mgsinΘ)/(mgcosΘ)

μ = tanΘ

μ = 0.577

Hence the friction force between the box and the incline if the box does not slide down the incline will be 0.577

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

The Assignment: A fixed quantity of an ideal gas (R 0.28 kJ/kgK; Cv-0.71kJ/kgK) is expanded from an initial condition of 35 bar,

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Index of expansion: 4.93

Δu = -340.8 kJ/kg

q = 232.2 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The index of expansion is the relationship of pressures:

pi/pf

The ideal gas equation:

p1*v1/T1 = p2*v2/T2

p2 = p1*v1*T2/(T2*v2)

500 C = 773 K

20 C = 293 K

p2 = 35*0.1*773/(293*1.3) = 7.1 bar

The index of expansion then is 35/7.1 = 4.93

The variation of specific internal energy is:

Δu = Cv * Δt

Δu = 0.71 * (20 - 500) = -340.8 kJ/kg

The first law of thermodynamics

q = l + Δu

The work will be the expansion work

l = p2*v2 - p1*v1

35 bar = 3500000 Pa

7.1 bar = 710000 Pa

q = p2*v2 - p1*v1 + Δu

q = 710000*1.3 - 3500000*0.1 - 340800 = 232200 J/kg = 232.2 kJ/kg

4- by eating food only will you get energy?

Serga [27]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

All parts of the body (muscles, brain, heart, and liver) need energy to work. This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach.
