Answer:

Explanation: This Law of Superposition is fundamental to the interpretation of Earth history, because at any one location it indicates the relative ages of rock layers and the fossils in them.

HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Total amount of energy would remain constant according to law of conservation of energy. i.e., 50 Joules

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) <span>50 Joules because as energy converts from one form to another, it cannot be created or destroyed during the conversion.

Hope this helps!

A sprinter set a high school record in track and field, running 200.0 m in 20.6 s . what is the average speed of the sprinter in

Paraphin [41]

Answer : The average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

Solution :

Average velocity : It is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.

Formula used for average velocity :

$v_{av}=\frac{d}{t}$

where,

$v_{av}$ = average velocity

d = distance traveled = 200 m

t = time taken = 20.6 s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average velocity of the sprinter.

$v_{av}=\frac{200m}{20.6s}\times \frac{3600}{1000}=34.95Km/hr$

conversion :

(1 Km = 1000m)

(1 hr = 3600 s)

Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

At a given instant an object has an angular velocity. It also has an angular acceleration due to torques that are present. There

katen-ka-za [31]

a) Constant

b) Constant

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the equivalent of Newton's second law of motion of rotational motion, which can be written as:

$\tau_{net} = I \alpha$ (1)

where

$\tau_{net}$ is the net torque acting on the object in rotation

I is the moment of inertia of the object

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity, so it can be written as

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta \omega$ is the change in angular velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\tau_{net}=I\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

In this problem, we are told that at a given instant, the object has an angular acceleration due to the presence of torques, so there is a non-zero change in angular velocity.

Then, additional torques are applied, so that the net torque suddenly equal to zero, so:

$\tau_{net}=0$

From the previous equation, this implies that

$\Delta \omega =0$

Which means that the angular velocity at that instant does not change anymore.

In this second case instead, all the torques are suddenly removed.

This also means that the net torque becomes zero as well:

$\tau_{net}=0$

Therefore, this means that

$\Delta \omega =0$

So also in this case, there is no change in angular velocity: this means that the angular velocity of the object will remain constant.

So cases (a) and (b) are basically the same situation, as the net torque is zero in both cases, so the object acts in the same way.
