Answer:

Nitrogen and oxygen are by far the most common; dry air is composed of about 78% nitrogen (N2) and about 21% oxygen (O2). Argon, carbon dioxide (CO2), and many other gases are also present in much lower amounts; each makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere's mixture of gases.

The radioactive isotope U-238 has protons and neutrons.

Archy [21]

Answer:

92 protons, 146 neutrons

Explanation:

Uranium will always have the same amount of protons, because that is what defines the element. Uranium has 92 protons, meaning that the rest of the mass of the atom comes from neutrons. 238-92=146 neutrons. Hope this helps!

The parallel axis theorem relates Icm, the moment of inertia of an object about an axis passing through its center of mass, to I

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

$I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}$

Part b)

$I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}$

Explanation:

As we know that by parallel axis theorem we will have

$I_p = I_{cm} + Md^2$

Part a)

here we know that for a stick the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

$I = \frac{mL^2}{12}$

now if we need to find the inertia from its end then we will have

$I_{end} = I_{cm} + Md^2$

$I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{12} + m(\frac{L}{2})^2$

$I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}$

Part b)

here we know that for a cube the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

$I = \frac{ma^2}{6}$

now if we need to find the inertia about an axis passing through its edge

$I_{edge} = I_{cm} + Md^2$

$I_{edge} = \frac{ma^2}{6} + m(\frac{a}{\sqrt2})^2$

$I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}$

PE (potential energy) + KE (kinetic energy) will equal ME (mechanical energy) ... explain this in your own words, or by using an

sdas [7]

Answer:

Potential energy plus kinetic energy equals mechanical energy because mechanical energy is basically just all of an object's energy, it's just two kinds of energy. The potential is stored inside and kinetic is being used. Both of those together is the total amount of the objects energy, which is the mechanical energy.

Consider a solid metal sphere (S) a few centimeters in diameter and a feather (F). For each quantity in the list that follows, i

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.
