At the moment, that's not a scientific hypothesis, because, at the moment, it can't be tested.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

The hypothesis is scientific because there is no solid evidence to draw out the theory. Therefore the idea of other intelligence on other planets is scientific until found unworthy or scientifically proven wrong enough. Hope this helps a little:)

A 1.8 kg uniform rod with a length of 90 cm is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot. It is free to rotate about the pivot

Leokris [45]

Answer:

a. 32.67 rad/s² b. 29.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod

Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.

So, Iα = WL

mL²α/3 = mgL

dividing through by mL, we have

Lα/3 = g

multiplying both sides by 3, we have

Lα = 3g

dividing both sides by L, we have

α = 3g/L

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 3g/L

= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m

= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²

= 32.67 rad/s²

b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²

Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in the figure below.

Irina18 [472]

The force the horse and the rider exerts on the wall is equal to the weight combined acting in the opposite direction:

<h3>Force</h3>

Given Data

mass of horse and rider = 575kg

Force acting on wall = ??

When a body of mass rests on a surface, it exerts a force equal to the weight of the mass but opposite in direct on the mass/object

hence the force is computed as

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 575 * 9.81

Force = 5640.75N

A piston-cylinder device contains Helium gas initially at 150 kPa, 20 o C, and 0.5m 3 . The helium is now compressed in a polytr

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$P_1=150 kPa$

$T_1=20^{\circ}C$

$V_1=0.5 m^3$

$T_2=140^{\circ}C$

$P_2=400 kPa$

R for Helium $R=2.076$

$c_v=3.115 kJ/kg-K$

mass of gas $m=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}$

$m=\frac{150\times 0.5}{2.076\times 293}$

$m=0.123 kg$

Similarly $V_2$ can be found

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$V_2=0.264 m^3$

Work done $W=\int_{V_1}^{V_2}PdV$

$W=\frac{P_2V_2-P_1V_1}{n-1}$

$W=\frac{mR(T_2_T_1)}{n-1}$

Since it is a polytropic Process

therefore $PV^n=c$

$P_1V_1^n=P_2V_2^n$

$(\frac{V_1}{V_2})^n=\frac{P_2}{P_1}$

$(\frac{0.5}{0.264})^n=\frac{400}{150}$

$n=\frac{\ln 2.66}{\ln 1.893}$

$n=1.533$

$W=\frac{0.123\times 2.076(140-20)}{1.533-1}$

$W=57.48 kJ$

From Energy balance

$E_{in}-E_{out}=\Delta E_{system}$

Neglecting kinetic and Potential Energy change

$Q_{in}+W_{in}=change\ in\ Internal\ Energy$

Change in Internal Energy $\Delta U=u_2-u_1$

$\Delta U=mc_v(T_2-T_1)$

$\Delta U=0.123\times 3.115(140-20)$

$\Delta U=45.977 kJ$

$Q_{in}+57.48=45.977$

$Q_{in}=-11.50 kJ$

i.e. Heat is being removed
