No, momentum is conserved so:
momentum before=momentum after
it is C. 100 kg m/s

An arch carries the thrust of weight to its _____(1)______. With a _____(2)______, the horizontal part of the structure supports

finlep [7]

Option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is an arch?</h3>

An arch is indeed a vertical curving construction that covers an elevated space that may or may not sustain the load above it or the pressure gradient against it

In the case of a horizontally arched, such as an embankment dam. While arches and vaults are often confused, A vault is defined as an ongoing arch forming a roof.

Option D satisfies the fill-in blanks option.

Hence option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

Identify characteristics of energy from the Sun. Check all that apply.

-BARSIC- [3]

Almost all of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun

The energy in fossil fuels originally came from the Sun

Plants convert the energy

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy on earth and even the whole of the solar system. The sun drives and powers all external processes on earth. It produces its energy from the nuclear fusion of lighter nuclei into heavier ones.

Almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. A few component of the energy on the surface comes from the internal heat engine.
The energy of fossil fuels originally came from the sun. This is because, plants stores the energy in the process of photosynthesis. When they die and the energy is not released, the energy is stored as fossil fuels.
Plants in the process of photosynthesis converts the energy. Here green plants combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

Sort the forces as producing a torque of positive, negative, or zero magnitude about the rotational axis identified in part

Fantom [35]

a) Angular acceleration: $17.0 rad/s^2$

b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque

Explanation:

a)

In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.

The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:

$W_p =mg sin \theta$

where $\theta$ is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.

The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is

$\tau = W_p \frac{L}{2}=mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta$

where L is the length of the pencil.

The relationship between torque and angular acceleration $\alpha$ is

$\tau = I \alpha$ (1)

where

$I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2$

is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.

Substituting into (1) and solving for $\alpha$ , we find:

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{mg\frac{L}{2}sin \theta}{\frac{1}{3}mL^2}=\frac{3 g sin \theta}{2L}$

And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when $\theta=10^{\circ}$ is

$\alpha = \frac{3(9.8)(sin 10^{\circ})}{2(0.15)}=17.0 rad/s^2$

b)

There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:

- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude $mg$

- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R

The torque exerted by each force is given by

$\tau = Fd$

where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.

For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is

$\tau =mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta$

For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.

Therefore:

- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)

- Reaction force: zero torque

aniked [119]

Ike is at the beach watching the waves in the ocean. Ike notices that some of the waves are short. Other waves are very tall and come up high above the water. Two waves that are different heights because They have different amplitudes.

Answer: Option (D) is correct

Explanation:

The different heights of the waves are due to their different amplitudes. The Amplitude of a particular wave depends upon the amount of energy being carried by waves. It the waves carry more energy than their amplitude will be higher.

But if energy carried by a wave is less than the wave will have a low amplitude. The Amplitude shows the distance covered from the rest position to peak position.
