Consider a long train moving at speed v. Now consider a passenger throwing a ball inside this train, towards the back of the train, with same velocity v (but in the opposite direction of the train movement).

- A passenger inside the train will see the ball moving with speed v
- For an observer outside the train, however, the ball will appear as still. In fact, for him the ball will have a speed v (given by the movement of the train) -v (velocity of the ball but moving in the opposite direction), so the net velocity will be v+(-v)=0.

A professor sits at rest on a stool that can rotate without friction. The rotational inertia of the professor-stool system is 4.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$\omega=0.37 [rad/s]$

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of the angular momentum.

$L=mvR$

$I\omega=mvR$

Now the Inertia is I(professor_stool) plus mR², that is the momentum inertia of a hoop about central axis.

So we will have:

$(I_{proffesor - stool}+mR^{2})\omega=mvR$

Now, we just need to solve it for ω.

$\omega=\frac{mvR}{I_{proffesor-stool}+mR^{2}}$

$\omega=\frac{1.5*2.7*0.4}{4.1+1.5*0.4^{2}}$

$\omega=0.37 [rad/s]$

I hope it helps you!

<span>Visible satellite images are like photos which are dependent on visible light from the sun so they work best during the day. The sensor works by detecting radiation within the range that wavelength is visible. Because of this, the rays is usually seen as reaching earth from the East. </span>

Gaining neutrons makes an element?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

C. Have no change in electrical charge

Explanation:

If a element gains neutron it become an Isotope. The electrical charge do not change for this, only the atomic mass changes when an element gains neutrons.

The electrical charge is affected when there is a variation in the number of electrons or protons in the element.
