Answer:

a) τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m

b) E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J

c) P = 3.25511*10^21 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of earth r = 6.3781×10^6 m

The angular speed of earth w = 7.27*10^-5 rad/s

The time taken to reach above speed t = 5 yrs = 1.57784760 * 10^8 s

The mass of earth m = 5.972 × 10^24 kg

The inertia of sphere I = 2/5 * m* r^2

Solution:

angular acceleration of the earth from rest to w is given by α:

                               α = w / t

                               α = (7.27*10^-5) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)

                               α = 4.60754*10^-13 rad/s^2

The required torque τ is given by:

                               τ = I*α

                               τ = 2/5 * m* r^2 * α

 τ = 2/5 *(5.972 × 10^24) * (6.3781×10^6)^2 * (4.60754*10^-13)

 τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m

Power required P to turn the earth to the speed w is:

                          P = τ*w

                          P = (4.47746 * 10^25)*(7.27*10^-5)

                          P = 3.25511*10^21 W

Energy E required is :

                          E = P / t

                          E = (3.25511*10^21) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)

                          E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J

There is a(n) __________ relationship between an object's weight and its mass.
Mkey [24]
There is a direct relationship between between an object's weight and its mass.

Weight is actually the force of gravity on the object's mass and it can be calculated by multiplying the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The higher the mass, the higher the weight and the lower the mass, the lower the object's weight. Thus, the relationship is direct.

Why is the overall charge of the atom neutral or zero?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

this is because the neutrons do not have a charge, the things that have charge in an atom are electrons and protons.

and in the nucleus of an atom, there are protons and neutrons so you can see that A is not the answer

if you see the periodic table, you will know that the number of electrons and protons are equal, so the charges cancel each other out, hence the charge of an atom will be neutral

let me give you a tip which I got from my teacher, never write there is no charge in the atom, this suggests that there is no protons or electrons.

instead, write, the it is neutral

hope it helps if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it out

Who represents the worst of the iron age in his attempt to feed jupiter once living flesh?
wolverine [178]

Lycaon represents the worst of the iron age in his attempt to feed jupiter once living flesh.

<h3>What is iron age?</h3>

The iron Age is the final epoch of the three-age division of the prehistory and protohistory of humanity.

It was preceded by the Stone Age, and the Bronze Age.

Who is lycaon?

In Greek mythology, Lycaon was a king of Arcadia who, in the most popular version of the myth, tested Zeus' omniscience by serving him the roasted flesh of Lycaon's own son Nyctimus, in order to see whether Zeus was truly all-knowing.

Thus, Lycaon represents the worst of the iron age in his attempt to feed jupiter once living flesh.

Estimate the order of magnitude of the length, in
Scrat [10]
A) a mouse, to an order of magnitude = 0.1 m ( a tenth of a meter ) That would be a big mouse but the alternatives are 1 meter or one hundredth of a meter... so go with 1/10th 

<span>b) Easy = 1 meter </span>

<span>c) two choices 10m or 100 m . Go with 100 m </span>

<span>d) Stretch it out , trunk tip to tail tip - call it 10 m </span>

<span>e) Your choice 100 m or 1000 m..... These are estimates. So long as you are within one order of magnitude you can't really be given wrong. So I'd say 100m</span>
