because they have been there long enough to become a fossil.

Four equal masses m are so small they can be treated as points, and they are equally spaced along a long, stiff wire of neglible

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: 5m/L^2

Explanation:

Inertial I = mr^2 where r = distance from axis of rotation, while m is the mass of the object.

I = 2[m(1L/2)^2] + 2[m(3L/2)^2] = 2m×. 25/L^2+ 3m×2. 25/L^2= 0. 5m/l^2 +4. 5m/l^2

= 5m/l^2.

What are the two main types of energy?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Fourth option

Explanation:

They're many different types of energy, from chemical and mechanical to heat and solar energy. But the two most basic types of energy are "kinetic and potential energy" or the fourth option. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has when it is in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has when it's as rest. These two specific types of energies are the most basic and you can even convert them into many different types of energies, like heat or electrical energy.

Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELPP MEEE!!!!!!!!!The goal is to increase the power; therefore, it is necessary to

Brrunno [24]

As we know that power is defined as rate of work done

so we will have

$P = \frac{Work}{time}$

so in order to increase the power as per above formula we know that either we need to increase the work or we need to decrease the time to complete that work

So here the correct answer will be

increase the work being done or decrease the time in which the work is completed.

How does the gravity which pulls the moon and earth toward each other also affect the ocean?

slamgirl [31]

Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides. Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the material from which they are made.

A person pulls a bucket of water up from a well with a rope. Assume the initial and final speeds of the bucket are zero (Vi-Vf-0

n200080 [17]

Answer:

This a closed system because the mass of the system is conserved

The energy system that undergoes change is the Potential energy system

The energy system diagram is shown on the first uploaded image

Work done = Change in gravitational potential energy

So solving algebraically for work done would be

Work done = $m*g*h$

where m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

and h is the height

Work done in terms of force and distance is = mg

where m is mass of bucket and

g is acceleration due to gravity

Explanation:

a) At the start, potential and kinetic energy were zero. so, energy is zero.

As the person pulls the bucket up, the potential energy becomes mgh.

so,final energy will be consisting of only potential energy.

B) Here work done is equal to change in gravitational potential energy.

W = $\Delta P.E$

W = m*g*h

where g = 9.9 m/ $s^2$

C) Work = force * distance

mgh = force * h

force = mg

force = weight of bucket
