If a man weight 155 lb on earth, specify

Natali [406]

For the answer to the question above, on Earth, a one-pound object has a mass of about 0.453592 kilograms.

<span>Therefore the man's mass is 155 * 0.453592 = 70.30676 kilograms. </span>

<span>The part about the Moon's gravity is irrelevant. While the weight of a person or object would be different on the Moon, the mass would be the same.</span>

A spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed on a level floor. What percentage of the shell's total kinetic e

IgorC [24]

Answer:

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.

Explanation:

As the spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed, the system can be considered as conservative due to the absence of non-conservative forces (i.e. drag, friction) and energy equation can be expressed only by the Principle of Energy Conservation, whose total energy is equal to the sum of rotational and translational kinetic energies. That is to say:

$E = K_{t} + K_{r}$

Where:

$E$ - Total energy, measured in joules.

$K_{r}$ - Rotational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{t}$ - Translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

The spherical shell can be considered as a rigid body, since there is no information of any deformation due to the motion. Then, rotational and translational components of kinetic energy are described by the following equations:

Rotational kinetic energy

$K_{r} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I_{g}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Translational kinetic energy

$K_{t} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Where:

$I_{g}$ - Moment of inertia of the spherical shell with respect to its center of mass, measured in $kg\cdot m^{2}$ .

$\omega$ - Angular speed of the spherical shell, measured in radians per second.

$R$ - Radius of the spherical shell, measured in meters.

After replacing each component and simplifying algebraically, the total energy of the spherical shell is equal to:

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (I_{g} + m\cdot R^{2})\cdot \omega^{2}$

In addition, the moment of inertia of a spherical shell is equal to:

$I_{g} = \frac{2}{3}\cdot m\cdot R^{2}$

Then, total energy is reduced to this expression:

$E = \frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is translational in percentage is given by the following expression:

$\%K_{t} = \frac{K_{t}}{E}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} }{\frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} } \times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{5}{12}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = 41.667\,\%$

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.

Your friend says that the second law of thermodynamics can't be true because life itself is a highly ordered system that wouldn'

spayn [35]

This topic is actually quite controversial, but the answer in this case would be C.

Just some food for thought, the 2nd law of thermodynamics entropy of the universe is always increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that earth's entropy has to. As long as the net change in entropy of the universe is increasing it doesn't matter if one planet is decreasing a nominal amount. Next, Earth as said is not a closed system and you could argue that the sunlight and energy from the sun is increasing the total energy within the system that is earth meaning that it is increasing in entropy. Next, if you consider increasing entropy as an increase in the number of possible permutations that the universe or parts of the universe can take, then it is completely possible that an ordered planet and life is possible, although rare. This theory explains why there are so many life forms and why entropy is actually increasing when divergent evolution occurs.
