You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=40\ kg$

Height to which it is raised is, $h=2\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h$

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

$\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N$ . Now,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J$

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.

What is meant by the statement that a laser beam is coherent, mono-chromatic and parallel?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Laser light however contains only one wavelength. This property makes lasers monochromatic, meaning of one color. Another property of lasers is that all the wavelengths are in phase, meaning they wave together. This property is called coherency. Laser light travels in the same direction, parallel to one another.

Answer:

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

Explanation:

The complete question is

A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the merry-go-round. As he does this, It is true to say that

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

B) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed decreases.

C) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed remains the same.

D) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed increases.

E) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed decreases

In angular momentum conservation, the initial angular momentum of the system is conserved, and is equal to the final angular momentum of the system. The equation of this angular momentum conservation is given as

$I_{1} w_{1} = I_{2} w_{2}$ ....1

where $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ are the initial and final moment of inertia respectively.

and $w_{1}$ and $w_{2}$ are the initial and final angular speed respectively.

Also, we know that the moment of inertia of a rotating body is given as

$I = mr^{2}$ ....2

where $m$ is the mass of the rotating body,

and $r$ is the radius of the rotating body from its center.

We can see from equation 2 that decreasing the radius of rotation of the body will decrease the moment of inertia of the body.

From equation 1, we see that in order for the angular momentum to be conserved, the decrease from $I_{1}$ to $I_{2}$ will cause the angular speed of the system to increase from $w_{1}$ to $w_{2}$ .

From this we can clearly see that reducing the radius of rotation will decrease the moment of inertia, and increase the angular speed.
