From Doppler shifts of the spectral lines in the light coming from the east and west edges of the Sun, astronomers find that the

radial velocities of the two edges differ by about 4 km/s, meaning that the Sun’s rotation rate is 2 km/s. Find the approximate period of rotation of the Sun in days. The circumference of a sphere is given by 2πR, where R is the radius of the sphere

Answer:

T= 37 day

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use the definition of angular velocity as the angular distance, which for a full period is 2pi between time.

    w = T / t

The relationship between angular and linear velocity is

    v = w r

    w = v / r

We substitute everything in the first equation

    v / r = 2π / t

    t = 2π r / v

Let's reduce to the SI system

    V = 2 km / s (1000m / 1km) = 2 10³ m / s

    r= R = 6.96 10⁸ m

Let's calculate

    t = 2π 6.96 10⁸/2 10³

    t = 3.2 10⁶ s

    T = t = 3.2 10⁶ s ( 1h/3600s) (1 day/24 h)

    T= 37 day

A student walks 350 m [S], then 400 m [E20°N], and finally 550 m [N10°W]. Using the component method, find the resultant (total)
levacccp [35]

In component form, the displacement vectors become

• 350 m [S]   ==>   (0, -350) m

• 400 m [E 20° N]   ==>   (400 cos(20°), 400 sin(20°)) m

(which I interpret to mean 20° north of east]

• 550 m [N 10° W]   ==>   (550 cos(100°), 550 sin(100°)) m

Then the student's total displacement is the sum of these:

(0 + 400 cos(20°) + 550 cos(100°), -350 + 400 sin(20°) + 550 sin(100°)) m

≈ (280.371, 328.452) m

which leaves the student a distance of about 431.8 m from their starting point in a direction of around arctan(328.452/280.371) ≈ 50° from the horizontal, i.e. approximately 431.8 m [E 50° N].

What happens to the momentum of an object when velocity is kept the same and the mass is increased?
Jet001 [13]
Momentum = mass x velocity so if velocity is kept same and mass is increased then momentum will increase.

In this problem, you will answer several questions that will help you better understand the moment of inertia, its properties, a
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

a)  Total mass form, density and axis of rotation location are  True

b)   I = m r²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia is the inertia of the rotational movement is defined as

       I = ∫ r² dm

Where r is the distance from the pivot point and m the difference in body mass

In general, mass is expressed through density

        ρ = m / V

        dm = ρ dV

From these two equations we can see that the moment of inertia depends on mass, density and distance

Let's examine the statements, the moment of inertia depends on

- Linear speed       False

- Acceleration angular False

-  Total mass form True

-  density True

- axis of rotation location   True

b) we calculate the moment of inertia of a particle

For a particle the mass is at a point whereby the integral is immediate, where the moment of inertia is

          I = m r²

TEA [102]
When you're using a crowbar to lift a large rock, you are working against the force called

\boxed {\bf Gravity}


\bf Explanation:
Gravity on Earth is what gives weight to all objects, it's defined as all things that have mass or energy are gravitated towards each other. Therefore when you're using a crowbar to lift a large rock, the weight is caused by gravity.


I hope this helps you!
