Answer:

yes

Explanation:

By definition, the speed of an object is the rate of change of its position.Velocity, on the other hand, is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object. Since it is a vector physical quantity, both magnitude and direction are required to define it

How large is the Milky Way Galaxy? A. It is the largest galaxy ever observed. B. It takes up over half of the known universe. C.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

D. It is very small when compared to the universe

Explanation:

The Milky Way can be regarded galaxy which has Solar System in it. Milky way gives the description of appearance of galaxy from Earth, it is a hazy band of light that's been formed from the stars which can be visualized in the sky during the night, though it cannot be sorted by mere human eyes. Milky Way has existed for about 13.51 billion years with the radius of 52,850 light years. the Number of stars in milky way is about 100-400 billion. It should be noted that themilky way galaxy is a very large galaxy but It is very small when compared to the universe

Two uniform, solid cylinders of radius R and total mass M are connected along their common axis by a short, light rod and rest o

sveta [45]

Explanation:

A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:

System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1

We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if

$a_{x} = -\omega^{2} x$

where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:

<h3>PROOF:</h3>

rotational inertia for cylinders is given as:

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}$ -----(1)

Newton's second law for angular motion is:

∑τ = Iα ------(2)

For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:

∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)

By definition of torque:

τ = RF --------(4)

Put (4) and (1) in (2)

$RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha$

from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate

So above equation becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}MR\alpha$ ------ (5)

As angular acceleration is related to linear by:

$a= R\alpha$

Eq (5) becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x}$ ---- (6)

aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction

From (3)

∑Fₓ = Maₓ

Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:

$\sum F_{x} = f_{s} - kx$ ----(7)

Put (7) in (3)

$f_{s} - kx = Ma_{x}$ [/tex] -----(8)

Using (6) in (8)

$\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x} - kx =Ma_{x}$

$a_{x} = \frac{2k}{3M} x$ --- (9)

For spring mass system

$a= -\omega^{2} x$ ----- (10)

Equating (9) and (10)

$\omega^{2} = \frac{2k}{3M}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{3M}}$

then (9) becomes

$a_{x} = - \omega^{2}x$

(The minus sign says that x and aₓ have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)

This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.

<h3 /><h3>B) Time Period</h3>

Time period is related to angular frequency as:

$T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega}$

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}$

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above

Virty [35]

Answer:

v = 6.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above the water, s = 1.8 m

The initial speed of the diver, u = 3.62 m/s

Let v is the speed with which she hit the water. It will move under the action of gravity. Using the equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2gs\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{(3.62)^2+2(9.8)(1.8)} \\\\v=6.95\ m/s$

So, she will hit the water with a speed of 6.95 m/s.
