Being the planet closest to the sun, Mercury must be the one
with the shortest year. That's how gravity works.
The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.
Answer: 7.41 m/s
Explanation: By using the law of of energy, kinetic energy of the brick as it falls equals the potential energy before falling.
Kinetic energy = mv²/2, potential energy = mgh
mv²/2 = mgh
v²/2 = gh
v² = 2gh
v = √2gh
Where g = 9.8 m/s², h = 2.80m
v = √2×9.8×2.8 = 7.41 m/s
Answer:
576 joules
Explanation:
From the question we are given the following:
weight = 810 N
radius (r) = 1.6 m
horizontal force (F) = 55 N
time (t) = 4 s
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}
K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}
where MI is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity
MI = 0.5 x m x r^2
mass = weight ÷ g = 810 ÷ 9.8 = 82.65 kg
MI = 0.5 x 82.65 x 1.6^{2}
MI = 105.8 kg.m^{2}
angular velocity (ω) = a x t
angular acceleration (a) = torque ÷ MI
where torque = F x r = 55 x 1.6 = 88 N.m
a= 88 ÷ 105.8 = 0.83 rad /s^{2}
therefore
angular velocity (ω) = a x t = 0.83 x 4 = 3.33 rad/s
K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}
K.E = 0.5 x 105.8 x 3.33^{2} = 576 joules
