When a spinning star shrinks in radius, it speeds up. Which of the following statements explains this phenomenon?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

B.)Angular momentum is always conserved

Explanation:

Angular momentum is given by:

L=mvr

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

r is the distance between the object and the centre of its circular trajectory

In absence of external torques, angular momentum is always conserved. That means that for the spinning star, if its radius r decreases (because it shrinks), in order for L (the angular momentum) to be conserved, the speed (v) must increases, therefore the spinning star speeds up.

So, the correct choice is

B.)Angular momentum is always conserved

A railroad train is traveling at 32 m/s in still air. The frequency of the train whistle is 350 Hz. What is the wavelength of th
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

0.9 m,386.36 Hz

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of train,vs=32 m/s

Frequency of whistle,f0=350 Hz

We have to find the wavelength of sound and the frequency of heard by the listener in front of the locomotive.

Speed of sound=v=340 m/s

We know that the frequency of listener

f=f_0(\frac{v}{v-v_s})

Using the formula

f=350\times(\frac{340}{340-32})

f=386.36 Hz

Wavelength,\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Using the formula

\lambda=\frac{340}{386.36}=0.9 m

Consider a lawnmower of mass m which can slide across a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction μ. In this problem the
inna [77]

Answer:

Fh = u*m*g / (cos(θ) - u*sin(θ))

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of lawnmower = m

- The angle the handle makes with the horizontal = θ

- The force applied along the handle = Fh

- The coefficient of friction of the lawnmower with ground = u

Find:

Find the magnitude, Fh, of the force required to slide the lawnmower over the ground at constant speed by pushing the handle.

Solution:

- Construct a Free Body Diagram (FBD) for the lawnmower.

- Realize that there is horizontal force applied parallel to ground due to Fh that drives the lawnmower and a friction force that opposes this motion. We will use to Newton's law of motion to express these two forces in x-direction as follows:

                                     F_net,x = m*a

- Since, the lawnmower is to move with constant speed then we have a = 0.

                                     F_net,x = 0

- The forces as follows:

                                     Fh*cos(θ) - Ff = 0

Where, Ff is the frictional force:

                                     Fh = Ff /cos(θ)

Similarly, for vertical direction y the forces are in equilibrium. Using equilibrium equation in y direction we have:

                                    - W - Fh*sin(θ) + Fn = 0

Where, W is the weight of the lawnmower and Fn is the contact force exerted by the ground on the lawnmower. Then we have:

                                     Fn = W + Fh*sin(θ)

                                     Fn = m*g + Fh*sin(θ)

The Frictional force Ff is proportional to the contact force Fn by:

                                     Ff = u*Fn

                                     Ff = u*(m*g + Fh*sin(θ))

Substitute this expression in the form derived for Fh and Ff:

                                     Fh*cos(θ) = u*(m*g + Fh*sin(θ))

                                     Fh*(cos(θ) - u*sin(θ)) = u*m*g

                                     Fh = u*m*g / (cos(θ) - u*sin(θ))

Set kinetic energy equal to potential energy and solve for velocity
nikdorinn [45]
KE = PE
1/2 m • v^2 = mgh
1/2 • v^2 = gh
V^2/2 = gh
2 • (v^2/2) = 2 • (gh)
V^2 = 2gh
V = sq root (2gh).
