The approximate diameter of the earth is equal to 12742 km.

Explanation:

The size of the earth can be explained in many ways. Earth is the third planet from the sun next to mercury and Venus and it is called as natural satellite.

The size of earth in terms of diameter is 12742 km which is almost 1/100th of the size of the sun. The total surface area of the sun is about 510,000,000 km 2.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Not be changed

Option: D

Explanation:

The physical quantity which has both ‘magnitude and direction’ is called vector. These vectors are represented by a line and an arrow, the line represent the magnitude and arrow represent the direction of the physical quantity. The vectors are added and subtracted according to the direction of the vectors.

According to the vector law addition while adding vectors direction and length of the vector is not be changed. If the length of the vector changed the magnitude is also changed while so, while adding vectors length must not be changed.

Envision holding the end of a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other. When you let go, you can see the oscillations

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.

Explanation:

When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.

By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.

The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.

F= -kx, where,

F= restoring force

x= displacement or deformation

k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.

Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.

The speed of light inside a medium is (2.0 x 10^8m/s) What is the index of refraction (n) of the medium?

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in a medium

1.5 = 3 x 108 / Speed of light in medium

Speed of light in the medium = 3 x 108 /1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s.

A pin-supported, vertically-oriented 1-m long thin rod is struck by a pellet at m down from the pin at the top. The mass of the

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the angular velocity of the rod immediately after being struck by the pellet, provided that the pellet gets lodged in the rod is = 0.5036 k` rad/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum of approach.

From the question; the pellet is hitting at a distance of 0.4 m down from the point of rotation of the rod.

So, the angular momentum of the system just before the collision occurs with respect to the axis of the rotation is expressed by the formula:

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } = mp ( r_y } ^ { ^ \to } * v_{pi} ^ { ^ \to } )$ ----- equation (1)

The position vector can now be :

$x ^ { ^ \to }$ = $- 0.4 \ j \ m$

Also, given that :

$v_{p,i} ^ { ^ \to } = (280 \ i - 350 \ j) \ m/s$

Replacing the value into above equation (1); we have:

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } =0.012 ((- \ 0.4 \ j) *(280 \ i - 350 \ j ))$

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } =0.012 * 112 \ k$ (by using cross product )

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } = 1.344 k` \ \ kg m^2 s^{-1}$

However; the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis of rotation is :

$I_{rod} = \frac{1}{3}m_rl^2 \\ \\ I_{rod} = \frac{1}{3}*8*1^2 \\ \\ I_{rod} = \frac{8}{3} \ \ kg \ m^2$

Also, the moment of inertia of the pellet about the axis of rotation is:

$I_{pellet} = m_pr_y^2 \\ \\ I_{pellet} = 0.012 *0.4^2 \\ \\ I_{pellet} = 1.92*10^{-3} kg . m^2$

So, the moment of inertia of the rod +pellet system is:

$I = I_{rod}+I_{pellet}$

$I =( \frac{8}{3}+1.92 *10^{-3} )kg. m^2$

$I = 2.6686 \ kg. m^2$

The final angular momentum is :

$L_f ^ {^ \to} = I \omega { ^ {^ \to} } = 2.6686 \ \omega ^ {^ \to}$

The angular velocity of the rod $\omega$ is determined by equating the angular momentum just before the collision with the final angular momentum (i.e after the collision).

So;

$L_f ^ {^ \to} = L_i ^ { ^ \to}$

$2.6686 \omega ^ {^ \to} = 1.344 \ k ^ {^ \to}$

$\omega ^ {^ \to} = \frac{1.344 \ k`}{2.6686}$

= 0.5036 k` rad/s

Hence; the angular velocity of the rod immediately after being struck by the pellet, provided that the pellet gets lodged in the rod is = 0.5036 k` rad/s
