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

Shrill sound is of -------------- *
Leona [35]

Answer:

Higher frequency.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the speed of a sound is given by the formula:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

Generally, the frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound that would be heard.

A shrill sound refers to a type of sound that is typically sharp, high pitched and as such has higher frequency.

Hence, shrill sound is of higher frequency.

Yeast breaking down starch into usable energy ____________ law of thermodynamics.
Anon25 [30]
<span>First law of thermodynamics. This conservation law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. In essence, energy is always conserved but can be converted from one form into another. Like when an engine burns fuel, it converts the energy stored in the fuel's chemical bonds into useful mechanical energy and then into heat, or more specifically, the melting ice cubes. Yeast breaks down maltose into glucose to produce alcohol and Co2 in the fermentation process. This is a prime example of the 1st law of thermodynamics. No form of usable energy is really lost; it only changes from one form to another</span>

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arsen [322]

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates  to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m=1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}=7*10^{14} m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}

=4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}

=3*10^{-2}= 3 cm

Suppose the Sun moved twice the distance from Earth. Describe immediate and future changes to our planet. Justify your reasoning
Reptile [31]
Our year would now be 2.8 times longer, we would also be receiving only 1/4 of the energy from the sun that we currently do. This means that we’d now be out beyond the orbit of Mars and right at the edge of the asteroid belt, and things would rapidly get very cold with temperatures expected to drop by around 50 degrees Celsius on average, and that’s with our current atmospheric composition which would not be stable in the new conditions. And also, any living thing on earth would die.
