Goryan [66]3 years ago
7 0

a. Wrong. EM waves can travel through matter OR vacuum.

b. True, but so can mechanical waves.

c. Wrong. Waves transfer energy, not matter.

d. This is it. EM waves can travel through empty space, and mechanical waves can't.

A thin uniform cylindrical turntable of radius 2.7 m and mass 22 kg rotates in a horizontal plane with an initial angular speed
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

8.59 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that:

A thin uniform cylindrical turntable radius = 2.7 m

with a mass (M) = 22 kg

initial angular speed (ω₁) =  12 rad/s

Mass of the clump of the clay (m) = 11 kg

Diameter (d) from the point of rotation = 1.7 m

We are to find the final angular  velocity  (ω₂) ,To do that; we apply the conservation of annular momentum; which is as follows:

L₁ = L₂

l₁ω₁ = l₂ω₂

( 0.5 × M × r²) × ω₁ = (0.5 × M × r² + md²) ω₂

Making ω₂ the subject of the formula ; we have:

\omega_2 = \frac{(0.5*M*r^2)* \omega_1}{(0.5*M*r^2+md^2)}

\omega_2 = \frac{(0.5*22*2.7^2)* 12}{(0.5*22*2.7^2+11*1.7^2)}

\omega_2 = 8.58 rad/s

Hence,  the angular speed of the clay and turntable = 8.59 rad/s

A swimmer swims 3/5 the width of a river at one velocity, then swims the remainder of the river at half her initial velocity. Wh
SashulF [63]
Let her initial velocity be U.

Let the width of the river be W.

She swims 3/5 the width of the river  at  U.

Remainder width =  (1 - 3/5) = 2/5.

She then swims 2/5 the width with velocity  U/2.


Average Speed  =  (Total Distance Traveled)  /  ( Total Time Taken).


Distance =  Speed * time

time  =  Distance /  Speed.

Time in first trip:    =    (3/5)W / U =   0.6W/U.

Time in second trip  =  (2/5)W / (U/2)  =  0.4W / 0.5 U =  0.8W/U

Total Distance Traveled =  W,  width of the river.

Average Speed  =      W  /  (0.6W/U  +  0.8W/U) =    W /  (1.4W/U)

                             =  W  *  U / 1.4W 
                              =    U/1.4
                              =  U * 10 / 14
                              =  (5/7) U.

Therefore Average speed is  (5/7) of the initial speed.
