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!

An aircraft has a liftoff speed of 33 m/s. What is the minimum constant acceleration an

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: The minimum acceleration for the air plane is 2.269m/s2.

Explanation: To solve such problem the equation of motion are applicable.

The initial velocity is 0 since the airplane was initially standing. We are going to use this equation

V^2=U^2+2as

33^2=0+2a (240)

a= 2.269m/s2

You have two windlasses named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are hoisting a 50kg weight, Hence, X will lift faster and easier than Y

<h3>What is windlasses (winches) will lift faster?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Torque is mathematically given as

Torque(X)=weight x radius of drum

T=50x9.81x0.25

T=122.625 Nm

For, Torque (Y)

T=50x9.81x0.375

T=183.93 Nm

Generally, the equation for the Equation of Power is mathematically given as

P= Torque * Angular velocity

Angular velocity (w)= 2 x pi x N/60

As a consequence, torque has an inverse relationship to speed. Because of this, the torque will decrease as the speed rises.

According to the previous statement, windlass X has a speed of lift that is at its maximum, but windlass Y has a speed that is very low.

Additionally, power is exactly proportional to torque, which means that the highest possible torque required the highest possible amount of energy and vice versa.

Therefore, X should raise at the highest possible speed while using the least amount of energy.

In conclusion, X will lift faster and easier than Y

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

$E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}$

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL² will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

In a circuit, energy is transferred to a charge.<br> Where is this energy transferred from?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Electric current.

Explanation:

The energy result from electric current resulting from potential differences between terminals which form an Electric circuit. This energy could come from different sources like chemical, wind, light

An electric circuit is one where there is movement of electrons;this electrons acquire charge which is energy. The electrons flow due to a potential difference; you have heard water flows from a higher position to a lower one freely. The highest height is said to be at higher potential and the lower point low potential.

So it's the same with electrons.

The formular for energy on charge is Q= I × t where I is electric current and t is time.

A 350-g baseball is shot out of a small cannon with a velocity of 9.0 m/s. The baseball flies horizontally at a constant height

stira [4]

Answer:

$9.5 kg m^2/s$

Explanation:

The angular momentum of an object is given by:

$L=mvr$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

r is the distance of the object from axis of rotation

Here we have:

m = 350 g = 0.35 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 9.0 m/s is the velocity

r = 3.0 m is the distance of the object from axis of rotation (if we take the ground as the centre of rotation)

Therefore, the angular momentum is:

$L=(0.35)(9.0)(3.0)=9.5 kg m^2/s$
