Answer:

E.) conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

The angular momentum is defined as:

L=r x mv

where r is the radius of the star, m is the mass and v the angular velocity.

and angular momentum is an amount that is conserved, so the angular momentum before the star is compressed must be equal to the angular momentum after the star was compressed:

r_{1} x mv_{1}=r_{2} x mv_{2}

the second radius is smaller than the first radius, since the star shrinked, the second angular velocity must be greater that the first.

In other words, the angular velicity increases as the star shrinks because of the conservation of angular momentum.

Waves carry ______ from one place to another?<br><br> energy<br> crests<br> troughts<br> wavelengths
Leni [432]

Answer:

Energy.

Explanation:

Waves can travel through medium and can be without medium.

In electromagnetic waves the energy travels through vibration of electric field and magnetic field while in sound waves energy is transferred through vibration of particles through which sound waves are travelling or though vibration of air particles.

If the current in a wire increases from 5 A to 10 A, what happens to its magnetic field? If the distance of a charged particle f
dsp73

1. The magnitude of the magnetic field doubles

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where \mu_0 is the vacuum permeability, I is the current in the wire, r is the distance from the wire.

As we see from the formula, the intensity of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current: if the current increases from 5 A to 10 A, it means it doubles, so the magnetic field doubles as well.

2. The magnitude of the magnetic field halves

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

We see that the magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire (r). In this case, the distance of the particle is changed from 10 cm to 20 cm, so it is doubled: therefore, the magnitude of the field will become half of the initial value.

3. The force reverses direction

Explanation: the force exerted on a charged particle in a magnetic field is:

F=qvB sin \theta

where q is the charge, v is the speed of the particle, B is the magnetic field intensity and \theta the angle between the direction of v and B. If the charge of the particle is switched from 2 µC to –2µC, the magnitude of the force does not change (because the absolute value of q does not change), however the charge q gets a negative sign (-), so the sign of the force changes and gets a negative sign too, so the force reverses direction.

Which shows a decrease in fluid pressure? A. A fan is turned from high speed to low speed. B. Oxygen is compressed as it is put
Volgvan

Answer:

Option A.

A fan is turned from high speed to low speed.

Explanation:

It is important to note that air is also a fluid.

In a system, static pressure of air increases with the speed of rotation of the fan. This is because when the speed of the fan is increased, the force with which it is pushing the air molecules is increased. Since pressure is a relationship between force and area, the pressure of the air molecules will be increased.

Conversely, when the speed of the fan is reduced, the priming force on the air molecules will be reduced, hence the pressure of the air will drop.

This makes option A the correct option

The flywheel is rotating with an angular velocity ω0 = 2.37 rad/s at time t = 0 when a torque is applied to increase its angular
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

ω = 12.023 rad/s

α = 222.61 rad/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

ω0 = 2.37 rad/s, t = 0 sec

ω =?, t = 0.22 sec

α =?

θ = 57°

From formulas,

Tangential acceleration; a_t = rα

Normal acceleration; a_n = rω²

tan θ = a_t/a_n

Thus; tan θ = rα/rω² = α/ω²

tan θ = α/ω²

α = ω²tan θ

Now, α = dω/dt

So; dω/dt = ω²tan θ

Rearranging, we have;

dω/ω² = dt × tan θ

Integrating both sides, we have;

(ω, ω0)∫dω/ω² = (t, 0)∫dt × tan θ

This gives;

-1[(1/ω_o) - (1/ω)] = t(tan θ)

Thus;

ω = ω_o/(1 - (ω_o × t × tan θ))

While;

α = dω/dt = ((ω_o)²×tan θ)/(1 - (ω_o × t × tan θ))²

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

ω = 2.37/(1 - (2.37 × 0.22 × tan 57))

ω = 12.023 rad/s

Also;

α = (2.37² × tan 57)/(1 - (2.37 × 0.22 × tan 57))²

α = 8.64926751525/0.03885408979 = 222.61 rad/s²
