Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution
givi [52]
With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π 

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
   = (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
   = 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5  revolutions per second.

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 x 10-3 cm kg x m/s. Express this as provided or use any equivalent unit. How i
Leno4ka [110]

Complete Question:

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer:

7.2 gm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Given the following data;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 kgm/s

1 kg = 1000 g

Substituting the unit in kilograms with grams, we have;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 * 1000 gm/s

<em>Momentum = 7.2 gm/s. </em>

What keeps the hydrogen atoms together in the molecule ?
blagie [28]
The bonds that hold atoms together to form molecules are called covalent bonds. They are pretty tough and not easily made or broken apart. It takes energy to make the bonds and energy is released when the bonds are broken.

Which of the following is a use of radioactive isotopes? Question 7 options: a. can determine the ages of rocks and fossils b. c
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

a) Absolute dating technique is used to determine the age of rocks and fossil fuels, by the use of radioactive elements, such as, Carbon-14. The process involves the measurement of life of fossils through the remaining amount of radioactive element. It is possible by the knowledge of half life of radioactive element.

b) The radioactive isotope of Cobalt (Cobalt-60) is used to treat localized cancer. Other radioactive elements are also used to kill bacteria and treat cancer, such as, Iodine-131 is used to treat thyroid cancer

c) Radioactive elements are also used as tracers, such as Sodium-24, which is used as a tracer in blood. Other radioisotopes of Hydrogen, Carbon. Phosphorus and Sulfur, etc, are also used as tracers in different chemical reactions.

<u>Thus, all the given options are correct and the correct option is all of the above (d).</u>

A long solenoid has a radius of 4.0 cm and has 800 turns/m. If the current in the solenoid is increasing at the rate of 3.0 A/s,
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of solenoid R = 4cm = 0.04m

Turn per length is N/l = 800 turns/m

The rate at which current is increasing di/dt = 3 A/s

Induced electric field?

At r = 2.2cm=0.022m

µo = 4π × 10^-7 Wb/A•m

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is give as

B = µo•N•I

The value of electric field (E) can

only be a function of the distance r from the solenoid’s axis and it give as,

From gauss law

∮E•dA =qenc/εo

We can find the tangential component of the electric field from Faraday’s law

∮E•dl = −dΦB/dt

We choose the path to be a circle of radius r centered on the cylinder axis. Because all the requested radii are inside the solenoid, the flux-area is the entire πr² area within the loop.

E∮dl = −d/dt •(πr²B)

2πrE = −πr²dB/dt

2πrE = −πr² d/dt(µo•N•I)

2πrE = −πr² × µo•N•dI/dt

Divide both sides by 2πr

E =- ½ r•µo•N•dI/dt

Now, substituting the given data

E = -½ × 0.022 × 4π ×10^-7 × 800 × 3

E = —3.32 × 10^-5 V/m

E = —33.2 µV/m

The magnitude of the electric field at a point 2.2 cm from the solenoid axis is 33.2 µV/m

where the negative sign denotes counter-clockwise electric field when looking along the direction of the solenoid’s magnetic field.
