As denizens of the surface of a spinning planet, we are always in uniform circular motion. Imagine you are in Nairobi (on the Ea

rth's equator) at noon on a Monday. Answer the following questions only considering the rotation of the earth and NOT the Earth's circular motion around the sun. The radius of the earth is 6371 km. A day is 24 hours.
Assuming that you are at at theta = 0 rad at noon on Monday and moving in the positive direction, what is your position theta in rad on Tuesday at 11:00 am?

Answer:

6.02 radian

Explanation:

At 12 noon position is zero radian on Monday

at 12 midnight the position is π/2

at 11 am position on Tuesday is 2π/24 x 23 ( after 23 hours ) = 6..02 radian.

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9

Why was Thompson's Plum pudding model a significant departure from previous models?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Thomson's cathode-ray tube experiments led him to develop the plum-pudding model, which stated that each atom had positively charged particles spread throughout its negatively charged matter. Reword the statement so it is true. ... More alpha particles were deflected than he expected.

Explanation:

Well.. I hope it helps you..

Just correct me if I'm wrong..
