Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations

1 answer:

3 0

Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

A 129-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 65.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the platform which is a uniform disk = 129 kg

Radius of the disk rotating about vertical axis = 1.61 m

Mass of the person standing on platform = 65.7 kg

Distance from the center of platform = 1.07 m

Mass of the dog on the platform = 27.3 kg

Distance from center of platform = 1.31 m

We have to calculate the moment of inertia.

Formula:

MOI of disk = $\frac{MR^2}{2}$

Moment of inertia of the person and the dog will be mr^2.

Where m and r are different for both the bodies.

So,

Moment of inertia $(I_y_y )$ of the system with respect to the axis yy.

⇒ $I_y_y=I_d_i_s_k + I_m_a_n+I_d_o_g$

⇒ $I_y_y=\frac{M_d_i_s_k(R_d_i_s_k)^2}{2} +M_m(r_c)^2+M_d_o_g(R_c)^2$

⇒ $I_y_y=\frac{129(1.61)^2}{2} +65.7(1.07)^2+27.2(1.31)^2$

⇒ $I_y_y=289.088\ kg.m^2$

The moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2

If the fundamental frequency of a musical instrument is 42Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?

timurjin [86]

For the majority of instruments f = n f0 where f is the resonating frequency, n is any whole number and f0 is the fundamental.
This applies to trumpets, violins, flutes and a broad range. 
In such a case the first harmonic would be at n=1 and the second harmonic would be at n=2 

which gives a frequency of 84 Hz

What three variable factors determine the force of gravity between any two objects?

brilliants [131]

The force of gravity between two objects is:
F = G*m1*m2/r^2

So, it is dependent of the two masses and the distance between their centers of mass.
