Suppose you are taking a walk one day when you see a tree branch snap at its base and begin to rotate downward with the break ne

ar the trunk of the tree as a pivot point. You estimate the length of the branch to be about 3 meters. Estimate the initial angular acceleration of the branch in rad/s2. Can you estimate the mass of the tree branch from this information? Why or why not?

Answer:

α = 3.27 rad/s²

No

Explanation:

Given that

 L= 3 m

Lets take mass of tree = m kg

The torque to mass m =  m g .L

The mass moment of inertia of tree ,I

I = mL² kg.m²

We know that

τ = I α

 m g .L = mL² .α

α= g/L

Now by putting the value

\alpha =\dfrac{ 9.81}{ 3}\ rad/s^2

α = 3.27 rad/s²

No we can find the mass of the from the above information because angular acceleration is not depend on the mass of tree.

Two children are pulling on opposite sides of a blanket. The brother is pulling with a force of 3 N. The sister is pulling with
Citrus2011 [14]
Let F1=Force exerted by the brother (+F1)
F1= Force exerted by the sister (-F2)

Fnet=(+F1) + (-F2)
Fnet= (+F1) + (-F2)
Fnet=F1 - F2
Fnet= (+3N)+(-5N)
Fnet= -2N

-F

Galileo's observational contributionsGalileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas.

<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.17 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass
vladimir2022 [97]
The mass of the hoop is the only force which is computed by:F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N 
the slow masses that must be quicker are the pulley, ring, and the rolling sphere. 
The mass correspondent of M the pulley is computed by torque τ = F*R = I*α = I*a/R F = M*a = I*a/R^2 --> M = I/R^2 = 21/2*m*R^2/R^2 = 1/2*m 
The mass equal of the rolling sphere is computed by: the sphere revolves around the contact point with the table. So using the proposition of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is I = 2/5*mR^2 for spin about the midpoint of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m 
the acceleration is then a = F/m = 27.468/(2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2
