Explain how the sun's position in the sky affects the length of shadows

Physics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
8 0

A shadow forms on the side of an object that faces away from the sun. The length of shadows changes as Earth rotates. In the morning, the sun is low in the eastern sky and shadows are long. As time passes in the morning, the sun seems to move higher in the sky.

‏A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it tak
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

t = 6.17 s

Explanation:

For a 1 revolution movement, \triangle \theta = 2\pi

Torque, \tau = 50 Nm

Moment of Inertia, I = 150 kg m^2

If the wheel starts from rest, w_{0} = 0 rad/s

The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:

\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2................(1)

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration

\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2

To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)

2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s

At one instant, the center of mass of a system of two particles is located on the x-axis at 2.0 cm and has a velocity of (5.0 m/
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

At one instant,

Center of mass is at 2m

Xcm = 2m

And velocity =5•i m/s

One of the particle is at the origin

M1=? X1 =0

The other has a mass M2=0.1kg

And it is at rest at position X2= 8m

a. Center of mass is given as

Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)

2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)

2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)

Cross multiply

2(M1+0.1) = 0.8

2M1 + 0.2 =0.8

2M1 = 0.8-0.2

2M1 = 0.6

M1 = 0.6/2

M1 = 0.3kg

b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as

P= (M1+M2)V

P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i

P = 0.4 × 5•i

P = 2 •i kgm/s

c. Velocity of particle at origin

Using conversation of momentum

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2

We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0

So, P(before) = 0.3V1

We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question

Then,

P(before) = P(after)

0.3V1 = 2 •i

V1 = 2/0.3 •i

V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s

V1 = 6.667 •i m/s

Given that:<br><br> = 2i + 9j ; and ⃗ = -i – 4j . Find . ⃗ ​
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A.B = -38

Explanation:

A = 2i + 9j and B = -i - 4j.

So, A.B = (2i + 9j).(-i - 4j)

= 2i.(-i) + 2i.(-4j) + 9j.(-i) + 9j.(-4j)

= -2i.i - 8i.j - 9j.i - 36j.j

since i.i = 1, j.j = 1, i.j = 0 and j.i = 0, we have

A.B = -2(1) - 8(0) - 9(0) - 36(1)

A.B = -2 - 0 - 0 - 36

A.B = -38
