Answer : The mechanical energy of the rock is, 134 J

Solution :

As we know that the mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy.

The formula used for mechanical energy is,

M.E=K.E+P.E\\\\M.E=(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)+(mgh)

where,

M.E = mechanical energy

K.E = kinetic energy

P.E = potential energy

m = mass of an object = 2 Kg

v = velocity of an object = 6 m/s

h = height = 5 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mechanical energy of the rock.

M.E=[\frac{1}{2}(2Kg)\times (6m/s)^2]+(2Kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 5m)=134\text{ Kg }m^2s^{-2}=134J

Therefore, the mechanical energy of the rock is, 134 J

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. A
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The mass of the solid cylinder is m  =  1612.5  \  kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius of the grinding wheel is R =  0.330 \ m

   The  tangential force is F_t =  250 \ N

    The angular acceleration is  \alpha  =  0.940 \ rad/s^2

The torque experienced by the wheel is mathematically represented as

     \tau  =  I  *  \alpha

Where  I  is the moment of inertia

The torque experienced by the wheel can also be  mathematically represented as

       \tau  =  F_t  * r

substituting values

       \tau  =  250 * 0.330

      \tau  = 82.5  \ N\cdot m

So

   82.5  =  I *  \alpha

    82.5  =  I *  0.940

So

   I  =  87.8 \ kg \cdot m^2

This moment of inertia can be mathematically evaluated as

     I  =  \frac{1}{2} * m* r^2

substituting values

  87.8  =  \frac{1}{2} * m* (0.330)^2

=>   m  =  1612.5  \  kg

Before using a string in a comparison, you can use either the To Upper method or the To Lower method to convert the string to up
diamong [38]

Answer:

True, check attachment for code

Explanation:

To convert java strings of text to upper or lower case, we can use and inbuilt methods To Uppercase and To lower case.

The first two lines of code will set up a String variable to hold the text "text to change", and then we print it out.

The third line sets of a second String variable called result.

The fourth line is where the conversion is done.

We can compare the string

We can compare one string to another. (When comparing, Java will use the hexadecimal values rather than the letters themselves.) For example, if we wanted to compare the word "Fat" with the word "App" to see which should come first, you can use an inbuilt string method called compareTo.

In each of the given pairs, choose which element will have the bigger atom. Give reasons for your choice. (a) Mg (atomic number
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Mg (atomic number 12)

K (atomic number 19)

Explanation:

The size of an atom is estimated in terms of its atomic radius.

The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance (d) between two nuclei in the solid - state of metals.

  • Across a period, atomic radii decrease progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the progressive increase in the nuclear charge without increase in the number of electronic shells.
  • Down a group, atomic radii increase progressively due to the successive shells of electrons being added which have been compensated for by the increase in nuclear charge.

Cl is further right of Mg in the third period

K is below Na in the first group
