Answer:

Flattens out into the ecliptic plane and spins faster due to conservation of angular momentum.

Explanation:

A star is formed in a molecular cloud of gas and dust, mainly composed of hydrogen and helium. The Nebular Theory establishes, for the formation of the solar system, that the cloud starts to collapse under its own gravity when it receives a shock wave from a near event, for example, a supernova explosion. That results in the cloud breaking in small pieces, and those pieces constitute a possible future star.

Then it begins to accrete and rotate as a consequence of the angular momentum.        

L = mrv\sin \theta  (1)    

Where m is the mass, r is the radius and v is the velocity and \theta is the angle between the velocity and r.

A light ray traveling through a material with an index of refraction of 1.2 is incident on a material that has an index of refra
zzz [600]

Answer:

compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

Explanation:

From Snell's law;

n₁sin(I) = n₂sin(r)

Where;

n₁ is the refractive index of light in medium 1 = 1.2

n₂ is the refractive index of light in medium 2 = 1.4

I is the incident angle

r is the refractive angle

n = \frac{1}{sin(I)}\\\\sin(I) = \frac{1}{n}\\\\sin(I) =\frac{1}{1.2}\\\\sin(I) =0.8333\\\\I = sin^-{(0.8333)

I = 56.439⁰

Applying snell's law

n_1sin(I) = n_2sin(r)\\\\sin(r) = \frac{n_1sin(I) }{n_2}\\\\sin(r) = \frac{1.2*sin(56.439) }{1.4}\\\\sin(r) = 0.714\\\\r = sin^-(0.714)\\\\r = 45.56^o

Therefore, compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

Would the frequency of the angular simple harmonic motion (SHM) of the balance wheel increase or decrease if the dimensions of t
storchak [24]

Answer:

Yes the frequency of the angular simple harmonic motion (SHM) of the balance wheel increases three times if the dimensions of the balance wheel reduced to one-third of original dimensions.

Explanation:

Considering the complete question attached in figure below.

Time period for balance wheel is:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}

I=mR^{2}

m = mass of balance wheel

R = radius of balance wheel.

Angular frequency is related to Time period as:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{I}} \\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR^{2}}

As dimensions of new balance wheel are one-third of their original values

R_{new}=\frac{R}{3}

\omega_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR_{new}^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{m(\frac{R}{3})^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}={3}\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}={3}\omega
