Answer:

People were particularly motivated by one of the candidates

Explanation:

The voter turnout in 2008 spiked because people were particularly motivated by Barrack Obama. His running for presidential position represented a <em>"generational change."</em> So, this means that many of the voters, especially the African-Americans ages 18 to 25 years old became interested in registering in order to vote.

Such kind of voter turnout spike is said to have also occurred during the candidacy of John F. Kennedy, where the voter turnout was<em> 62.8 percent.</em> This was because Kennedy was a <em>charismatic leader</em> who also represented a <u>generational change</u>.

So, this explains the answer.

An old grindstone, used for sharpening tools, is a solid cylindrical wheel that can rotate about its central axle with negligibl
krok68 [10]

(a) The moment of inertia of the wheel  is 78.2 kgm².

(b) The mass (in kg) of the wheel is 1,436.2 kg.

(c) The angular speed (in rad/s) of the wheel at the end of this time period is 3.376 rad/s.

<h3>Moment of inertia of the wheel</h3>

Apply principle of conservation of angular momentum;

Fr = Iα

where;

  • F is applied force
  • r is radius of the cylinder
  • α is angular acceleration
  • I is moment of inertia

I = Fr/α

I = (200 x 0.33) / (0.844)

I = 78.2 kgm²

<h3>Mass of the wheel</h3>

I = ¹/₂MR²

where;

  • M is mass of the solid cylinder
  • R is radius of the solid cylinder
  • I is moment of inertia of the solid cylinder

2I = MR²

M = 2I/R²

M = (2 x 78.2) / (0.33²)

M = 1,436.2 kg

<h3>Angular speed of the wheel after 4 seconds</h3>

ω = αt

ω = 0.844 x 4

ω = 3.376 rad/s

Thus, the moment of inertia of the wheel  is 78.2 kgm².

The mass (in kg) of the wheel is 1,436.2 kg.

The angular speed (in rad/s) of the wheel at the end of this time period is 3.376 rad/s.

a flowerpot falls from a windowsill 25m above the sidewalk how fast is the flowerpot moving when it strikes the ground
Mariana [72]

s = 25m

v = ?

a = 9.81m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2x9.81x25

v² = 490.5

v = √490.5

= 22.15m/s

A multi-dimensional being reaches down to Earth and pulls you out of the universe. You are then thrown back into the universe at
Shkiper50 [21]

You are in an early universe.

In the study of the evolution of the universe, it has been determined before Plank time (before the big bang and right after it), the early universe had the following characteristics:

  • There was only one single force acting over all that existed.
  • The early universe was very hot and dense because all matter had contracted before the big bang.
  • Space and time were wrapped.

These characteristics match the ones described, based on this, we can conclude you are in an early universe.

What volume of lead must be fastened underneath it to sink the wood in calm water so that its top is just even with the water le
astraxan [27]
The bouyancy force is:  

Since the wood-lead system is completely submerged, the bouyancy force 

 is FB = ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb, where Ďw is the density of water,Vl 

 is the volume of 

 the piece of lead and Vb is the volume of the wooden block. The weight of the

  combined lead and wooden block is: W = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb. Since the system is 

 in equilibrium, the bouyancy force must be equal to the total weight: 

 ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb 

 now we can solve for the volume of lead: 

 ĎwgVl â’ ĎlgVl = ĎbgVb â’ ĎwgVb 

 Vl(Ďw â’ Ďl) = Vb(Ďb â’ Ďw) 

 Vl =   

 Ďbâ’Ďw 

 Ďwâ’Ďl   

 Vb 

 Now we substitute the values for the density of lead Ďl = 11.3 Ă— 103kg/m3  , 

 the density of the wood and the density of water Ďw = 1000kg/m3 

 . We get: 

 Vl =   

 600â’1000 

 1000â’11300 

 (0.6m Ă— 0.25m Ă— 0.08m) = 4.66 Ă— 10â’4m3

How did doubling the pressure change the gas volume?
stiv31 [10]
<span>For an ideal gas, the product of pressure and volume equals a constant times the absolute temperature. If each of the temperature and pressure of the gas is doubled, the product of pressure and volume increases by a factor of 4, and the absolute temperature must increase by the same ratio.</span>
