<span>The answer would be letter A. Hydropower plants get the energy of falling water to make electricity. Turbine changes the kinetic energy of falling water to mechanical energy. At that time, a generator alters the mechanical energy from the turbine to electrical energy.</span>

Show that rigid body rotation near the Galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant

irakobra [83]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to gravitational acceleration and centripetal acceleration. The equality between these two forces that maintains the balance will allow to determine how the rigid body is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density. Let's start with the gravitational acceleration of the Star, which is

$a_g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

Here

$M = \text{Mass inside the Orbit of the star}$

$R = \text{Orbital radius}$

$G = \text{Universal Gravitational Constant}$

Mass inside the orbit in terms of Volume and Density is

$M =V \rho$

Where,

V = Volume

$\rho =$ Density

Now considering the volume of the star as a Sphere we have

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$

Replacing at the previous equation we have,

$M = (\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho$

Now replacing the mass at the gravitational acceleration formula we have that

$a_g = \frac{G}{R^2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho$

$a_g = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho$

For a rotating star, the centripetal acceleration is caused by this gravitational acceleration. So centripetal acceleration of the star is

$a_c = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho$

At the same time the general expression for the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{\Theta^2}{R}$

Where $\Theta$ is the orbital velocity

Using this expression in the left hand side of the equation we have that

$\frac{\Theta^2}{R} = \frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2$

$\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2)^{1/2}$

$\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho)^{1/2}R$

Considering the constant values we have that

$\Theta = \text{Constant} \times R$

$\Theta \propto R$

As the orbital velocity is proportional to the orbital radius, it shows the rigid body rotation of stars near the galactic center.

So the rigid-body rotation near the galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density

A jogger hears a car alarm and decides to investigate. While running toward the car, she hears an alarm frequency of 872.10 Hz.

Nata [24]

Answer:

v = 4.18 m/s

Explanation:

given,

frequency of the alarm = 872.10 Hz

after passing car frequency she hear = 851.10 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

speed of the jogger = ?

speed of the

$v_f = \dfrac{872.10-851.10}{2}$

$v_f =10.5\ Hz$

v_o = 872.1 - 10.5

$V_0 = 861.6\ Hz$

The speed of jogger

$v = \dfrac{v_1 \times 343}{v_0}-343$

$v = \dfrac{872.1 \times 343}{861.6}-343$

v = 4.18 m/s

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?

Tresset [83]

Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.
