a uniform disc and hollow right circular cone have the same formula for their moment of inertia when rotating about the central

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

This is as a result that about the central axis a collapsed hollow cone is equivalent to a uniform disc

Explanation:

The integration of the differential mass of the hollow right circular cone yields

$I=\int\limits dmr^2 = \int\limits^a_b {\frac{2Mxr^2}{R^2 +H^2} } \, dx = \frac{2MR^2dx}{(R^2 +H^2)^2} \frac{(R^2 +H^2)^2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$

and for a uniform disc

I = 1/2πρtr⁴ = 1/2Mr².

a car advertisement states that a certain car can accelerate from rest to 70km/h in 7 seconds. find the cars acceleration

ELEN [110]

<span>a = (v2 - v1)/t= acceleration formula

a = (70 - 0)/7
a = 10 km/hr/sec
-----
It's better to use as few units as possible.
10 km/hr = 10 km*1000 m/km/(1 hr*3600 sec/hr) = 25/9 m/sec
a= 25/9 m/sec/se</span>

when an apple falls towards the earth the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is it true? If yes, why is the earth motion not noti

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but earth does not move because the mass of apple is very small,due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a=F/m) and we can see the apple falling towards the earth but the mass of earth is very large,the same gravitational .

A student performing a double-slit experiment is using a green laser with a wavelength of 550 nm. She is confused when the m = 5

sweet [91]

Answer:

d = 52 μm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light source (λ)= 550 nm

distance to form interference pattern(D) = 1.5 m

y = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

width of the slits = ?
