Gulls are often observed dropping clams and other shellfish from a height to the rocks below, as a means of opening the shells.

If a seagull drops a shell from rest at a height of 16 m, how fast is the shell moving when it hits the rocks

Answer:

v = 17.71 m / s

Explanation:

We can work this exercise with the kinematics equations. In general the body is released so that its initial velocity is zero, the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity

                v² = v₀² - 2 g (y -y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2g (y -y₀)

when it hits the stone the height is zero and part of the height of the seagull I

              v² = 2g y₀

              v = Ra (2g i)

let's calculate

              v =√ (2 9.8 16)

              v = 17.71 m / s

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}

Nitella [24]

Answer & Explanation: Waste management are all activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. There are several methods of managing waste with its strengths and weaknesses. The strengths include;

* It creates employment

* It keeps the environment clean

* The practice is highly lucrative

* It saves the earth and conserves energy

The weaknesses of the methods of waste management includes;

* The sites are often dangerous

* The process is mostly

* There is a need for global buy-in

* The resultant product had a short life

A ray of light has a wavelength of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, \lambda=284\ nm

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.
