Based on the given picture above, I can say that this kind of rock is what we call a PRECARIOUS BOULDER, or in simpler terms, it is called a BALANCING ROCK. It is a geological formation that occurs naturally. This can be found in several parts of the earth. How the rock is kept balanced on its tiny pedestal is that it is firmly attached to a base rock or a stem.

Answer:

Now, suppose you have a more common figure, like a square, and you want to balance it over a pencil for example.

When you put the square over the pencil, you want that the point where the square touches the pencil is right in the middle of one of the faces of the square. This is because, in this situation, you know that the mass is evenly distributed over all sides now, and none side of the square is pulling down with more force than another side.

Now, this is the same with this rock, the mass is evenly distributed around the contact point, so no side has more force downwards than another side, then all the forces are canceled, and if there are no forces acting on the rock, it will remain in place.

A wheel is rotating freely at angular speed 420 rev/min on a shaft whose rotational inertia is negligible. A second wheel, initi
Mashcka [7]

Answer:60 rev/min

Explanation:

Given

angular speed of first shaft \omega _1=420\ rev/min

Moment of inertia of second shaft is seven times times the rotational speed of the first i.e. If I is the moment  of inertia of first wheel so moment of inertia of second is 7 I

As there is no external torque therefore angular momentum is conserved

L_1=L_2

I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2

I\times (420)=7 I\times (\omega _2)

\omega _2=\frac{420}{7}

\omega _2=60\ rev/min

What is the wavelength in nm of a light whose first order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30 degrees, and the diffracti
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is 3500 nm.

Explanation:

d= \frac{1}{700 lines per mm} = 0.007mm = 7000 nm

n= 1

θ= 30°

λ= unknown

Solution:

d sinθ = nλ

λ = \frac{7000 nm sin 30}{1}

λ = 3500 nm
