What is the physical significance of momentum. Like velocity gives us how position is changing with respect to time, what does m

Momentum helps us quantify how much movement an object has. For example, if we want to know how much movement an object of 2 kg moving at 4 m/s has, we take their product.

The kinetic energy of a rotating body is generally written as K=12Iω2, where I is the moment of inertia. Find the moment of iner

stira [4]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have a mass $m$ revolving around an axis with an angular speed $\omega$ , the distance from the axis is $r$ . We are given:

$\omega = 10 [rad/s]\\r=0.5 [m]\\m=13[Kg]$

and also the formula which states that the kinetic rotational energy of a body is:

$K =\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ .

Now we use the kinetic energy formula

$K =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where $v$ is the tangential velocity of the particle. Tangential velocity is related to angular velocity by:

$v=\omega r$

After replacing in the previous equation we get:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

now we have the following:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2 =\frac{1}{2}Iw^2$

therefore:

$mr^2=I$

then the moment of inertia will be:

$I = 13*(0.5)^2=3.25 [Kg*m^2]$

Describe the formation of the land, the atmosphere, and the oceans of earth

Firlakuza [10]

Land: Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills. Erosion by water and wind can wear down land and create landforms like valleys and canyons. ... Landforms can exist under water in the form of mountain ranges and basins under the sea.

Atmosphere: (4.6 billion years ago)
As Earth cooled, an atmosphere formed mainly from gases spewed from volcanoes. It included hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as today's atmosphere. After about half a billion years, Earth's surface cooled and solidified enough for water to collect on it.

Ocean: After the Earth's surface had cooled to a temperature below the boiling point of water, rain began to fall—and continued to fall for centuries. As the water drained into the great hollows in the Earth's surface, the primeval ocean came into existence. The forces of gravity prevented the water from leaving the planet.

A sharp edged orifice with a 60 mm diameter opening in the vertical side of a large tank discharges under a head of 6 m. If the

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The discharge rate is $Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter is $d = 60 \ mm = 0.06 \ m$

The head is $h = 6 \ m$

The coefficient of contraction is $Cc = 0.68$

The coefficient of velocity is $Cv = 0.92$

The radius is mathematically evaluated as

$r = \frac{d}{2}$

substituting values

$r = \frac{ 0.06 }{2}$

$r = 0.03 \ m$

The area is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2$

substituting values

$A = 3.142 * (0.03)^2$

$A = 0.00283 \ m^2$

The discharge rate is mathematically represented as

$Q = Cv *Cc * A * \sqrt{ 2 * g * h}$

substituting values

$Q = 0.68 * 0.92* 0.00283 * \sqrt{ 2 * 9.8 * 6}$

$Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s$

What is 34 + (5) × (1.2465) written with the correct number of significant figures?

bonufazy [111]

Answer: 40

Explanation:

= 34 + 5 * 1.2465

= ‭40.2325‬

= 40

The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.

32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.
