Why does a comet's tail point away from the Sun? 1Choice 1 The solar wind blows the tail away from the Sun. 2 It is being pulled

by a nearby black hole. 3 The Moon's light only shines on part of the comet. 4 The comet's tail is following the path of Jupiter.

Choice 1

The Sun's radiation and solar wind cause the dust and gas around the comet (coma) to stretch the coma. The solar wind electromagnetically blows the ions in the coma away.

4.39 moles of gas in a box has a pressure of 2.25 atm at temperature of 385K. What is the volume of the box?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.0619 m^3

Explanation

number of moles = n = 4.39 mol

pressure = P = 2.25 atm =2.25×1.01×10^5 Pa= 2.27×10^5 Pa

Molar gas constant =R = 8.31 J/(mol K)

Temperature T= 385K

volume of gas = V =?

BY GENERAL GAS LAW WE HAVE

PV = nRT

or V = nRT/P

or V = (4.39×8.31×385)/(2.27×10^5)

V = 0.0618728

V =  0.0619 m^3

Calculate the moment of inertia for each scenario: (a) An 80.0 kg skater is approximated as a cylinder with a 0.140 m radius. (b
Zina [86]

Answer:

a) the moment of inertia is 0.784 Kg*m²

b) the moment of inertia is with arms extended is 1.187 Kg*m²

c) the angular velocity in scenario (b) is 4.45 rad/s

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is calculated as

I = ∫ r² dm

since

I = Ix + Iy

and since the cylinder rotates around the y-axis then Iy=0 and

I = Ix = ∫ x² dm

if we assume the cylinder has constant density then

m = ρ * V = ρ * π R²*L = ρ * π x²*L

therefore

dm = 2ρπL* x dx

and

I = ∫ x² dm = ∫ x² 2ρπL* x dx = 2ρπL∫ x³ dx = 2ρπL (R⁴/4 - 0⁴/4) = ρπL R⁴ /2 =  mR² /2

therefore

I skater = mR² /2 = 80 Kg * (0.140m)²/2 = 0.784 Kg*m²

b) since the arms can be seen as a thin rod

m = ρ * V = ρ * π R²*L = ρ * π R²*x

dm =ρ * π R² dx

I1 = ∫ x² dm = ∫ x² * ρ * π R² dx = ρ * π R²*∫ x² dx = ρ * π R²* ((L/2)³/3 - (-L/2)³/3)

= ρ * π R²*2*L³/24 = mL²/12

therefore

I skater 2 = I1 + I skater =  mL²/12 + mR² /2= 8 Kg* (0.85m)²/12 +(80-8) Kg * (0.140m)²/2 = 1.187 Kg*m²

c)  from angular momentum conservation

I s2 * ω s2 = I s1 * ω s1

thus

ω s2 = (I s1 / I s2 )* ω s1 /= (0.784 Kg*m²/1.187 Kg*m²) * 6.75 rad/s = 4.45 rad/s

An acorn falls 10 meters in 4 seconds. What is its average velocity?
quester [9]

Answer:

Average velocity, V = 2.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data

Displacement = 10m

Time = 4secs

Average velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, average velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

V = \frac{d}{t}

Substituting into the above equation;

V = \frac{10}{4}

Average velocity, V = 2.5m/s
