Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

a spaceship is traveling at a speed of 15000 km/s from planet b toward planet a the spaceship sends out a signal with a waveleng
Bumek [7]

Answer: 4nmeter

Explanation: The two observer a and b will measure the same wavelength since the speed of the space craft is very small compared with the speed of light c. That is

V which is the speed of space craft 15000km/s = 15000000m/s

Comparing this with the speed of light c 3*EXP(8)m/s we have

15000000/300000000

= 0.05=0.1

Therefore the speed of the space craft V in terms of the speed of light c is 0.1c special relativity does not apply to object moving at such speed. So the wavelength would not be contracted it will remain same for both observers.

Fill-in-the-blank test questions measure ________; matching concepts with their definitions measures ________.
Ulleksa [173]

Test questions measure recall; matching concepts with their definitions measures recognition.

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Psychology our brain remembers everything what we learn but the understanding and remembering the right answer for the right question needs training and understanding ability. So in order to enhance the ability of recalling and recognizing among the students, the concept of test questions and matching with definitions are used in curricular activities.

As the students will be learning different terms, definitions, methods and different subjects, they should be able to distinguish among different definitions as well as they should recall the things they have learnt. So the answers for the test questions will help to recall the topics learnt by the students while the matching concept will help the students to recognize each definition with their terms.

A train travels a distance of 2000 km at an average speed of 120 km per hour. How long did the trip take? SHOW WORK
Igoryamba
S = d/t, s = 120, d = 2000, t = ?
Input the values,
120 = 2000/t
Make t the subject of the formula by cross multiplying, Therefore,
120t = 2000
Divide both sides by 120
t = 16.7hrs  to 1 decimal place.
If you're asked to convert it, you can.
