Answer:

There are two main factors that makeocean water more or less dense than about 1027 kg/m3: the temperature of the water and the salinity of the water.Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases thedensity of sea water.

"A uniform cylinder of mass M and radius R is rolling without slipping. The velocity of its center of mass is v. What is the cyl

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of cylinder is M

radius R

velocity of center of mass is v

As there is no slipping therefore cylinder will rotate as well as translate

Moment of inertia of cylinder $I=\frac{MR^2}{2}$

Kinetic Energy of cylinder $K.E.=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2$

Rotational energy $R.E.=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2$

for rolling

$v=\omega \times r$

where $\omega =angular\ velocity\ of\ cylinder$

$R.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{MR^2}{2}\times (\frac{v}{R})^2=\frac{1}{4}Mv^2$

Total kinetic Energy $=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{4}Mv^2=\frac{3}{4}Mv^2$

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:
