oee [108]3 years ago

Answer:

It is primarily due the Sun.

Explanation:

Sun is the ultimate source of energy.

Due to the heat of Sun, the atmosphere heats up unevenly. Due to which there is a temperature difference between the two regions. As the temperature difference is maintained, the air flows, i.e., atmosphere is moving.

Similarly, water gets heat up unevenly in oceans. Due to which a temperature difference is maintained between two points in the ocean and thus the oeans are moving constantly.

A 1.8 kg uniform rod with a length of 90 cm is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot. It is free to rotate about the pivot
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a. 32.67 rad/s²  b. 29.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod

Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.

So, Iα = WL

mL²α/3 = mgL

dividing through by mL, we have

Lα/3 = g

multiplying both sides by 3, we have

Lα = 3g

dividing both sides by L, we have

α = 3g/L

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 3g/L

= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m

= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²

= 32.67 rad/s²

b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²

At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear
Mandarinka [93]
We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2 
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1)       Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8             = 7058 kms    Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2     Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9                 = 9019 kms        Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.

two charges having the same charge magnitude experiencing an attracting force of 3.60N when the charges are 30cm apart.what is t
Tomtit [17]

The charges have opposite sign and magnitude 6 \mu C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have:

F = 3.60 N is the force between the two charges

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is their separation

The two charges have same magnitude, so

q_1 = q_2 = q

So we can rewrite the equation as

F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}

And solving for q:

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(3.60)(0.30)^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=6\cdot 10^{-6} C = 6\mu C

Moreover, the force between the charges is attractive: we know that charges of same sign repel each other while charges of opposite sign attract each other, therefore the charges in this problem have opposite sign, so

q_1 = 6 \mu C\\q_2 = -6 \mu C

How do kinetic and potential energy transfer to one throughout a roller coaster ride?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As the cars ascend the next hill, some kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy. Then, when the cars descend this hill, potential energy is again changed to kinetic energy. This conversion between potential and kinetic energy continues throughout the ride.
