Explain why it is easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side.

Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

A reasonable estimate of the moment of inertia of an ice skater spinning with her arms at her sides can be made by modeling most
Oxana [17]

Answer:

A)  I_{total} = 1.44 kg m², B) moment of inertia must increase

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined by

     I = ∫ r² dm

For figures with symmetry it is tabulated, in the case of a cylinder the moment of inertia with respect to a vertical axis is

      I = ½ m R²

A very useful theorem is the parallel axis theorem that states that the moment of inertia with respect to another axis parallel to the center of mass is

    I = I_{cm} + m D²

Let's apply these equations to our case

The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of the body and both arms

      I_{total}=I_{body} + 2 I_{arm}

       I_{body} = ½ M R²

The total mass is 64 kg, 1/8 corresponds to the arms and the rest to the body

       M = 7/8 m total

       M = 7/8 64

       M = 56 kg

The mass of the arms is

      m’= 1/8 m total

      m’= 1/8 64

      m’= 8 kg

As it has two arms the mass of each arm is half

     m = ½ m ’

     m = 4 kg

The arms are very thin, we will approximate them as a particle

    I_{arm} = M D²

Let's write the equation

     I_{total} = ½ M R² + 2 (m D²)

Let's calculate

    I_{total} = ½ 56 0.20² + 2 4 0.20²

    I_{total} = 1.12 + 0.32

    I_{total} = 1.44 kg m²

b) if you separate the arms from the body, the distance D increases quadratically, so the moment of inertia must increase

The table below shows the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for a period of 50 years.
yan [13]

Answer: The level of CO2 has risen.

Explanation:

From the table shown, we can see that the quantity of CO₂ in the atmosphere has steadily risen since the year 1960 going from 317 CO₂PPM in that year to 390 CO₂PPM in 2010.

This is a cause for alarm because with so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there will be an even greater greenhouse effect that will contribute to global warming.

Explain the relationship between temperature, energy, and motion of particles in an object.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.

In an experiment the mass of a calorimeter is 36.35 g . Express in micrometer ,millimetre and kg.
Andru [333]

Answer:

1. 36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer.

II. 36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre.

III. 36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Mass of calorimeter = 36.35 grams

To convert the mass in grams (g) to;

I. Micrometer

<u>Conversion:</u>

1 g = 1 exp 15 um

36.35 g = X um

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 exp 15 = 36.35 exp 15 um

<em>36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer</em>

II. Millimetre

<u>Conversion:</u>

1 g = 1 milliliter

36.35 g = X milliliter

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 = 36.35 milliliter

Next, we would convert milliliter to millimetre;

1 milliliter = 10 millimetre

36.35 milliliter = X millimetre

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 10 = 363.5 millimetre

<em>36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre</em>

III. Kilogram

<u>Conversion:</u>

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

36.35 g = X kilogram

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X * 1000 = 36.35 * 1

Dividing both sides by 1000, we have;

X = 36.35/1000 = 0.03635 kilogram

<em>36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram</em>

<u>Note:</u>

  • g is the symbol for grams.
  • Exp (E) means exponential = 10
  • um is the symbol for micrometer.

A coin is dropped off of a building landing on its side. It hits with a pressure of 400/2 It hits with a force of 0.1 Calculate
Arte-miy333 [17]

Complete Question:

A coin is dropped off of a building landing on its side. It hits with a pressure of 400 N/m². It hits with a force of 0.1N. Calculate the area of the coin?

Answer:

Area = 0.00025 m²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Pressure = 400N/m²

Force = 0.1N

To find the area of the coin;

Pressure = Force/area

Area = Force/pressure

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area = 0.1/400

Area = 0.00025 m²
