Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth orbits places it directly between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow in the process), the shadow on the Moon's surface is round.

Take the mechanical equivalent of heat as 4 J/cal. A 10-g bullet moving at 2000 m/s plunges
klasskru [66]

Assuming that all the bullet’s energy heats the paraffin, its final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the material.

The energy of the bullet E = 1/2 mv²

E = 1/2 x 10 x 10⁻³ x (2000)²

E = 2 x 10⁴ J

This heat is used in heating the paraffin

E = m x c ΔT = m x c (Tfinal -Tinitial)

2 x 10⁴ J = 1 x 2.8 x 10³ x (Tfinal -20)

Tfinal = 27.1°C

Thus, the final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

The gymnast has a mass of 45 kg gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg - Calculate the weight of the gymnast. Use the equation:
tia_tia [17]

Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

A flywheel turns through 40 rev as it slows from an angular speed of 1.5 rad/s to a stop.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

-0.0047 rad/s²

335.103 seconds

99.18 seconds

Explanation:

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 1.5 ra/s

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\theta = Angle of rotation = 40 rev

t = Time taken

Equation of rotational motion

\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0^2-1.5^2}{2\times 2\pi \times 40}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-0.0047\ rad/s^2

Acceleration while slowing down is -0.0047 rad/s²

t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-1.5}{-0.0047}\\\Rightarrow t=335.103\ s

Time taken to slow down is 335.103 seconds

\theta=\omega_it+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\Rightarrow 20\times 2\pi=1.5\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -0.0047\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 0.00235t^2-1.5t+125.66=0

Solving the equation

t=\frac{-\left(-1.5\right)+\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}, \frac{-\left(-1.5\right)-\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}\\\Rightarrow t=539.11, 99.18\ s

The time required for it to complete the first 20 is 99.18 seconds as 539.11>335.103
