Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.

A heavy solid disk rotating freely and slowed only by friction applied at its outer edge takes 120 seconds to come to a stop.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The time is 16 min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 120 sec

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2

If the disk had twice the radius and twice the mass

The new moment of inertia

I'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2M\times(2R)^2

I'=8I

We know,

The torque is

\tau=F\times R

We need to calculate the initial rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}

Put the value in to the formula

\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}

\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{MR}

We need to calculate the new rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

\alpha'=\dfrac{\tau}{I'}

Put the value in to the formula

\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{8\times\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}

\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{8MR}

\alpha=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}

Rotation speed is same.

We need to calculate the time

Using formula angular velocity

\Omega=\omega'

\alpha\time t=\alpha'\times t'

Put the value into the formula

\alpha\times120=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}\times t'

t'=960\ sec

t'=16\ min

Hence, The time is 16 min.

what does the presence of the mosesaurus fossils tell the initial location and positioning of soyth america africa and antartica
kicyunya [14]
The remains of Mesosaurus- a crocodile-like reptilian tells United States that South America, Africa and Antarctica were once joined along which implies they were once an enormous continent. However, because of the idea called the geological phenomenon, this one massive continent began to break so making individual continents.

What is the equivalent resistance in this circuit?<br><br> What is the current in this circuit?
kramer

All these resistors are in series so we can take the sum of them by:

Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3......

So...

Rtotal = 2 + 3 + 4 + 6

Rtotal = 15

So now the total resistance in the circuit is 15 ohms and the potential difference applied to the circuit is 45 volts

Now we can use:

V = IR

Isolate for I

V/R = I

45/15 = I

I = 3 amps (A)

Two train tracks run parallel to each other, except for a short distance where they meet and become one track over a narrow brid
Darya [45]

Answer:

This situation is possible.

Explanation:

It is said in the problem that one morning two trains are speeding up from opposite directions onto the bridge. It may seem from this statement that the trains are arriving at the same time. But this should be a wrong assumption.

Because it is only said in the problem that the trains are passing the bridge on same morning. No explicit timing is given.

So it may so happen that both the trains pass the narrow bridge on the same morning but at two difeerent times, making no collision with each other.
