Incomplete Question.The Complete question is

The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants.  Mass of the Earth: 5.97 × 10^24  kg (assume a uniform mass distribution)  Radius of the Earth: 6371 km  Distance of Earth from Sun: 149,600,000 km

(i)Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to rotation about its axis, in joules.

(ii)What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the Sun, in joules?  

Answer:

(i) KE= 2.56e29 J

(ii) KE= 2.65e33 J

Explanation:

i) Treating the Earth as a solid sphere, its moment of inertia about its axis is

I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.97e24kg * (6.371e6m)²

I = 9.69e37 kg·m²

About its axis,

ω = 2π rads/day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s

ω= 7.27e-5 rad/s,

so its rotational kinetic energy

KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 9.69e37kg·m² * (7.27e-5rad/s)²

KE= 2.56e29 J

(ii) About the sun,

I = mR²

I= 5.97e24kg * (1.496e11m)²

I= 1.336e47 kg·m²

and the angular velocity

ω = 2π rad/yr * 1yr/365.25day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s

ω= 1.99e-7 rad/s

so  

KE = ½ * 1.336e47kg·m² * (1.99e-7rad/s)²

KE= 2.65e33 J

In the figure below the pulley is a solid disk of mass M and radius R with rotational inertia MR 2/2. Two blocks one of mass m a
matrenka [14]
Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:

1.m_1a = T_1 -m_1g
2.m_2a = m_2g - T_2
where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.

The torque on the pulley is given by:
3.\tau = \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow F = (T_2 - T_1)R = I\alpha = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \frac{a}{R}
where I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2 and a = \alpha R.

Combining the three equations:
T_2 - T_1 = \frac{1}{2} Ma \\ m_2g - m_2a -m_1g - m_1a = (m_2-m_1)g - (m_1 + m_2)a = \frac{1}2}Ma \\ \\ a = \frac{(m_2 - m_1)g}{m_1 + m_2 + \frac{1}{2}M }

A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m

"how do the fundamental laws of physics make manifest that space has 3 dimensions?"
bazaltina [42]
If you are asking for a proof on having at least 3 dimensions in space, you can find the physical proof anywhere in your daily life activities. Just the fact that solids have volumes is a proof already that we live in a three-dimensional space. We can move forwards, backwards, sidewards and in all other directions possible.

When you go right into detail, the fundamental laws governing these proofs are very technical. They have differential equations to show as proof. It is too detailed to discuss here. The important things is that, these fundamental laws are what explains the science in our basic activities and natural phenomena:

*Gravitation and planetary motion
* Translation, rotation, magnetic field, forces
* Integrals of equations:
