Answer:

Tundra Biome

Explanation:

Permafrost is a type of soil that is frozen all year round. It consists of rocks, soils and ice. The ice or frost holds the earth materials together.

The tundra biome lies below the arctic circle close to the north pole. Most of the earth here is predominantly frozen all year round. A layer of glacier covers the surface and a deep lying layer of permafrost follows suit.

Some mountain tops capped with ice shows this tundra features.

Most tundras are termed cold deserts as they have little to no precipitation all year round. There is absence of vegetation cover as a result of low growing season of the plants.

What’s the difference between gravitational force & gravitational field strength?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Gravitational field strength is the force experienced by a unit mass. Gravitational force is the amount of force acting on a body. It is the product of field strength times the mass under consideration. Gravitational pull is just a more colloquial name for gravitational force.

A uniform, 4.5 kg, square, solid wooden gate 2.0 mm on each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its

True [87]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w = 1.43\ rad/sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of wooden gate is $m_g = 4.5 kg$

The length of side is L = 2 m

The mass of the raven is $m_r = 1.2 kg$

The initial speed of the raven is $u_r = 5.0m/s$

The final speed of the raven is $v_r = 1.5 m/s$

From the law of conservation of angular momentum we express this question mathematically as

Total initial angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate = The Final angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate

The initial angular momentum of the Raven is $m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}$

Note: the length is half because the Raven hit the gate at the mid point

The initial angular momentum of the Gate is zero

Note: This above is the generally formula for angular momentum of square objects

The final angular velocity of the Raven is $m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}$

The final angular velocity of the Gate is $\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w$

Substituting this formula

$m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w + m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w = m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2} - m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w = m_r * \frac{L}{2} * [u_r - v_r]$

Where $w$ is the angular velocity

Substituting value

$\frac{1}{3} (4.5)(2)^2 w = 1.2 * \frac{2}{2} * [5 - 1.5]$

$6w = 4.2$

$w = \frac{6}{4.2}$

$w = 1.43\ rad/sec$

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?
