Your desktop houses its system unit in a frame made of metal. what is the term for this frame?

1 answer:

6 0

This is called a computer case, also called as cabinet, chassis or tower. This houses the computer most components such as motherboard with cpu, drivers and memory cards. Computer case comes in different type of material. Usually it is made of steel, and aluminum but sometimes in fiber glass or even wood.

A flywheel in the form of a uniformly thick disk of radius 1.33 m1.33 m has a mass of 70.6 kg70.6 kg and spins counterclockwise

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The constant torque required to stop the disk is 8.6 N-m in clockwise direction .

Explanation:

Let counterclockwise be positive direction and clockwise be negative direction .

Given

Radius of disk , r = 1.33 m

Mass of disc , m = 70.6 kg

Initial angular velocity , $\omega_i =217 rpm$

Final angular velocity , $\omega_f =0\, rpm$

Time taken to stop , t = 2.75 min

Let $\alpha$ be the angular acceleration

We know

$\omega _f=\omega _i+\alpha t$

=> $0=217+2.75\alpha =>\alpha = -78.9\frac{rev}{min^{2}}$

=> $\alpha =-\frac{78.9\times 2\pi}{60\times 60}\frac{rad}{s^{2}}=-0.138 \frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Torque required to stop is given by

$\tau =I\alpha$

where moment of inertia , $I=\frac{mr^{2}}{2}=\frac{70.6\times 1.33^{2}}{2}kg.m^{2}=62.5 kg.m^{2}$

=> $\therefore \tau =-0.138\times 62.5\, N.m=-8.6\, N.m$

Thus the constant torque required to stop the disk is 8.6 N-m in clockwise direction .

A researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the f

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem relates to interference of light in thin films .

The condition of bright fringe in thin films which is sandwitched by two layers of medium having lesser refractive index is as follows.

2nt = (2n+1) λ / 2 , n is refractive index of thin layer , t is its thickness , λ is wavelength of light .

2 x 1.5 t = λ / 2 , if n = 0 for minimum thickness.

2 x 1.5 t = 600 / 2 nm

t = 100 nm .

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Before we solve this, we should know this fact:

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force acts along the line joining the centres of the two objects. It can be shown by this:

$F ∝ \frac{Mm}{ {d}^{2} }$

Now, let us check all the options.

A. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

This statement is true.

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of distance from the centre of the earth. If, we go up the surface of the earth, the distance from the centre of the earth increases and hence the value of force of gravity decrease. So, force of gravity decreases with altitude.

B. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is false.

We have already got the result in option A. that the force of gravity decreases with altitude. It never increases with altitude.

C. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us decreases.

This statement is false.

The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses. So, if increase our mass, then the force of gravity will also increase and if we decrease our mass, then the force of gravity decreases.

D. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is true.

As mentioned earlier in option C., the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the earth and another object. So, as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E. As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is true.

Here, we have to consider a different formula. According to Newton's Second Law,

F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

In other words,

F ∝ a, i.e., force is directly proportional to acceleration.

We know, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an body within a time period.

So, if speed is increased, then acceleration will also be greater, which results in the increase of force. So, as we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Answers:

A: As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

D: As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E: As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Hope you could understand.

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5220 km away, and released. It found its wa

Korolek [52]

Answer:

4.6834625323 m/s

0 m/s

Explanation:

s = Displacement

t = Time

Velocity is given by

$v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{5220000}{12.9\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow v=4.6834625323\ m/s$

The bird's average velocity for the return flight is 4.6834625323 m/s

In the whole episode the bird went 5220 km away from its nest and came back. This means the displacement is zero.

Hence, the average velocity for the whole episode is 0 m/s

Which colors of light represents the lowest visible frequency?

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Red is a colour which has the lowest frequency. Violet has the highest frequency. Frequency has a direct relationship with energy. This means the higher the frequency, the higher the energy. Red has the lowest energy of all the colors too.

The frequency and Energy has an inverse relationship with the wavelength.

However Red has the longest wavelength of about 620 - 780 nanometer.
