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!

Answer:

A. 91 meters north

Explanation:

Take +y to be north.

Given:

v₀ = 13 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13 m/s) (7 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (7 s)²

Δy = 91 m

The displacement is 91 m north.

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn

Answer:

(A) It will take 22 sec to come in rest

(b) Work done for coming in rest will be 0.2131 J

Explanation:

We have given the player turntable initially rotating at speed of $33\frac{1}{3}rpm=33.333rpm=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 33.333}{60}=3.49rad/sec$

Now speed is reduced by 75 %

So final speed $\frac{3.49\times 75}{100}=2.6175rad/sec$

Time t = 5.5 sec

From first equation of motion we know that '

$\alpha =\frac{\omega -\omega _0}{t}=\frac{2.6175-3.49}{4}=-0.158rad/sec^2$

(a) Now final velocity $\omega =0rad/sec$

So time t to come in rest $t=\frac{0-3.49}{-0.158}=22sec$

(b) The work done in coming rest is given by

$\frac{1}{2}I\left ( \omega ^2-\omega _0^2 \right )=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.035\times (0^2-3.49^2)=0.2131J$

An analog signal carries information by copying an original sound
When we speak through the microphone, it turns our sound into some sort of electronic wave.
This electronic wave is caught by a recording device and later could be replicated into Mp3 file that we usually listen to
