Answer:

By the use of carbon nanotubes as the clothing material.

Explanation:

Carbon nanotubes is a technology designed by engineers that could make charging of the cell of a phone possible. It has some some required properties like it is strong, conductive and heat-resistant which are suitable for the purpose.

This technology which involves a progressive dipping of a pure cotton material into nafion polymer, then in a chemical solution of carbon nanotubes and finally in polystyrene until it becomes saturated and have a conductive property. The conductive cotton can be used to make such cloths which becomes conductive and produces some electromagnetic waves when there is a contact with sweat or fluid from the body. The waves generated can be used to charge a cell phone through radiation interaction.

Ket [755]
Ok, assuming "mj" in the question is Megajoules MJ) you need a total amount of rotational kinetic energy in the fly wheel at the beginning of the trip that equals
(2.4e6 J/km)x(300 km)=7.2e8 J
The expression for rotational kinetic energy is

E = (1/2)Iω²  

where I is the moment of inertia of the fly wheel and ω is the angular velocity.  
So this comes down to finding the value of I that gives the required energy.  We know the mass is 101kg.  The formula for a solid cylinder's moment of inertia is

 I = (1/2)mR²

We want (1/2)Iω² = 7.2e8 J and we know ω is limited to 470 revs/sec.  However, ω must be in radians per second so multiply it by 2π to get 
ω = 2953.1 rad/s
Now let's use this to solve the energy equation, E = (1/2)Iω²,  for I:
I = 2(7.2e8 J)/(2953.1 rad/s)² = 165.12 kg·m²

Now find the radius R,

 165.12 kg·m² = (1/2)(101)R²,
√(2·165/101) = 1.807m

R = 1.807m

Can anyone help me please​
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Gravity.

Rocket ships.

Ball.

Basketball.

Explanation:

Gravity has to do a lot with air. It puts the planets in there area.

Rocket Ship has to do a lot with air. If i'm right, they calculate the area, weather, about the air.

A ball gets throwed in the air, which gravity comes into place.

Basketball is also a similar example to a ball.

Tomorrow i have a science test, could someone please fill me in on the water cycle?
Lorico [155]

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere and land involving precipitation as rain and snow drainage in streams and rivers and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

Hope this gives you a little bit more information!

Did the bigbang violate the law of conservation of energy and matter?
Pie
Under general relativity, there is no 'before the Big Bang'. The problem is that time is itself a part of the universe and is affected by matter and energy. Because of the huge densities just after the Big Bang, time itself is warped in such a way that it cannot go back before that event. It is somewhat like asking what is north of the north pole.

The conservation of matter and energy states that the total amount of mass and energy at one time is the same at any other time. Notice how time is a crucial part of this statement. To even talk about conservation laws, you have to have time.

The upshot is that the Big Bang did not break the conservation laws because time itself is part of the universe and started at the Big Bang and because the conservation laws need to have time in their statements.
