Answer:

Boy has the greater linear velocity.

Explanation:

The liner velocity in a rotatory system is defined as:

v = ω×r

where,

v is the liner velocity

ω is the angular velocity

r is the radius.

The boy is near the edge and the girl is closer to the center. The scenario is shown in the image below.

As, mentioned in question, they are turning out at a constant rate, so the angular velocities of both the boy and the girl are same.

<u>From the above inference, it can be concluded that now the linear velocity only depends on the radius of the disc. The linear velocity is directly proportional to the distance from the center.</u>

Thus, the greater the distance from the center, the greater the value of liner velocity.

<u>From the question also and from the image also the distance of the boy from the center is greater than the distance of the girl from the center. </u><u>That's why boy has greater linear velocity. </u>

Marizza181 [45]
The correct answer is
<span>B. if Earth rotated on an axis that was not tilted with respect to Earth's orbit 

In fact, the fact that Earth's axis is tilted is the reason why the durations of day and night are different in every part of the Earth. If the axis was not tilted, we would have exactly 12 hours of day and night in every point of the Earth, for the whole year.</span>

How would electron domains impact the magnetism of the substance?
Vanyuwa [196]
Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, and ferrimagnetic materials like ferrite. ... Magnetic domains form in materials which have magnetic ordering; that is, their dipoles spontaneously align due to the exchange interaction.

A van is traveling with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. The driver takes a time of 45 seconds to speed up to a velocity of 20 m/s
Rufina [12.5K]
  • Initial velocity=u=12m/s
  • Final velocity=v=20m/s
  • Time=t=45s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{20-12}{45}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{8}{45}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=0.1m/s^2

Now

  • Distance=s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow v^2-u^2=2as

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (20)^2-12^2=2(0.1)s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 400-144=0.2s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 256=0.2s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=\dfrac{256}{0.2}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=1280m
