Answer and Explanation:

Summer solstice is the longest day of the year because On this day, duration of day light is maximum.

It mainly happens in the month of June and 21 st June has the longest day and shortest night.

Whereas Autumn equinox happens in September and 23 rd September is known for end of summer in the Northern hemisphere and from that date there is a beginning of autumn season.

A machine part has the shape of a solid uniform sphere of mass 250 g and a diameter of 4.30 cm. It is spinning about a frictionl
zysi [14]

Answer:\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of sphere m=250\ gm

diameter of sphere d=4.30\ cm

radius r=\frac{4.30}{2}\ cm

f=0.0200\ N

friction will provide resisting torque so

f\times r=I\times \alpha

where I=\text{moment of Inertia}

f=\text{friction force}

\alpha =\text{angular acceleration}

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^2

0.02\times r=\frac{2}{5}mr^2\times \alpha

\alpha =\frac{5}{2r}\times f

\alpha =\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{2}{4.3\times 10^{-2}}\times 0.02

\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2

(b)time taken to decrease its rotational speed by 21\ rad/s

t=\dfrac{\Delta \omega }{\alpha }

t=\dfrac{21}{9.302}

t=2.25\ s

How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
Llana [10]

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles. As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed. Therefore the vibration is quicker in solids than liquids.

Hope it helps you! :)

Two ice skaters, Lilly and John, face each other while at rest, and then push against each other's hands. The mass of John is tw
seropon [69]

Answer:

Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

Explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

The force they apply on each other will be equal

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_l=\frac{F}{m_l}

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{F}{2m_l}\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{1}{2}a_l

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_l=a_lt

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{2m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}a_lt\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}v_l\\\Rightarrow v_l=2v_j

Hence, Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

A jogger runs 4.0 km [W] in 0.50 h, then turns and runs 1.0 km [E] in 0.20 h, then 1.5 km [N] in 0.25 h, then 3.0 km [E] in 0.75
GrogVix [38]
This is a sneaky trick question, to help you discover whether you know
one of the differences between velocity and speed.
=======================================
If you make a list of the distances and directions, and ignore the times,
you find these:

4 - west,  (3 + 1) - east . . . . .  zero in the east/west direction

1.5 - north,  1.5 - south . . . . . zero in the north/south direction

This jogger went out, had a nice jog around the neighborhood,and ended up exactly where he started.

Average velocity = (distance between start point and end point) / (time)

IF the question asked for average SPEED, then you would need the total distance, and divide it by the total time.  But it asks for VELOCITY, and <u>that</u> only involves the straight distance between the start point and the end point, regardless of the route taken in between.

The jogger ended up exactly where he started.  The distance between start and end points was zero.  Average velocity is  (zero) / (time) .  And that fraction is going to be <em><u>Zero</u></em>, no matter how long or how short the trip was, and no matter how much time it took.
