Choose the best explanation from among the following: A. It takes more energy to go from the Moon to the Earth because the Moon

is orbiting the Earth. B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon. C. The situation is symmetric, and hence the same amount of energy is required to travel in either direction.

Answer:

B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon.

Explanation:

Since the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Moon is less than the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Earth, less energy is required to travel from the Moon to the Earth, than is required to travel from the Earth to the Moon. This is because the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.

The parallel axis theorem relates Icm, the moment of inertia of an object about an axis passing through its center of mass, to I
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}

Part b)

I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}

Explanation:

As we know that by parallel axis theorem we will have

I_p = I_{cm} + Md^2

Part a)

here we know that for a stick the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

I = \frac{mL^2}{12}

now if we need to find the inertia from its end then we will have

I_{end} = I_{cm} + Md^2

I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{12} + m(\frac{L}{2})^2

I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}

Part b)

here we know that for a cube the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

I = \frac{ma^2}{6}

now if we need to find the inertia about an axis passing through its edge

I_{edge} = I_{cm} + Md^2

I_{edge} = \frac{ma^2}{6} + m(\frac{a}{\sqrt2})^2

I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m
