Rainbow [258]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

How does the loneliest whale relate to physics/waves.
Lelechka [254]
Answer: the loneliest whale relates to the communication that whales give to each other

Explanation: whales have different forms of communication , and the ‘loneliest’ whale can’t get any company by the other whales.


In other words: it may be a new and different way whales communicate, nobody knows much about the loneliest whale. It may be forming a new kind of communication

Consider the following cyclic process carried out in two steps on a gas. Step 1: 44 J of heat is added to the gas, and 20. J of
notka56 [123]

Answer:37 J

Explanation:

Given

Step :1

Heat added Q=44 J

Work done=-20 J

\Delta E_1=Q+W=44-20=24 J

Step :2

Heat added Q=-61 J

work done W_2

\Delta E_2=Q+W_2

\Delta E_2=61+W_2

\Delta E_1+\Delta E_2=0

as the process is cyclic

44-20-61+W_2=0

W_2=37 J

work done in compression is 37 J

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

Your job is to lift 30 kgkg crates a vertical distance of 0.90 mm from the ground onto the bed of a truck. For related problem-s
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The number of crates is 84580.

Explanation:

mass, m = 30 kg

height, h = 0.9 mm  

Power, P = 0.5 hp = 0.5 x 746 W = 373 W

time, t = 1 minute = 60 s

Let the number of crates is n.

Power is given by the rate of doing work.

P = \frac{n m gh}{t}\\\373 =\frac{n\times 30\times9.8\times 0.9\times 10^{-3}}{60}\\\\n =84580
