A constant net torque is applied to an object. Which one of the following will NOT be constant?

Physics
1 answer:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B) Angular velocity

Explanation:

The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motions is

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the net torque on a system

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

From the formula, we observe that if a constant net torque (=different from zero) is applied to an object, than the angular acceleration of the object (\alpha) is non-zero and constant.

But angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the angular velocity, \omega:

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

so, a non-zero angular acceleration means that the angular velocity is changing, so the correct answer is B.

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U
Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A
qaws [65]

2.6×10^6\:\text{m}

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}

and solving for R, we find that

R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration F_c experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force F_G or

F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)

The orbital velocity <em>v</em> is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}

where <em>r</em><em> </em>is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and <em>T</em> is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}

Solving for <em>M</em>, we get

M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}

\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}

\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}

\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}
