Having successfully ransomed a nearby city with her rail gun, Prof. Marcia Grail is looking for new and exciting ways to wreck s

cience based havok for profit. She constructs a device capable of creating a constant intensity of electromagnetic radiation of any frequency over a circular space of radius 50cm.

Answer:

Gamma radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are waves that do not require material medium for their propagation, and they travel at the same velocity. When these waves are arranged with respect to increasing frequency or decreasing wavelength, it forms a spectrum.

Since Prof. Marcia Grail's device can create an electromagnetic radiation of any frequency, the appropriate radiation to achieve her goal would be gamma radiation.

Gamma radiation is a high penetrating radiation with lethal effects on exposed biological molecules, causing induction of cancer and genetic mutations even at low level.

A jet liner must reach a speed of 82 m/s for takeoff. If the
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the jet liner accelerates uniformly. From statement we know the initial (v_{o}) and final speeds (v_{f}), measured in meters per second, of the aircraft and likewise the runway length (d), measured in meters. The following kinematic equation is used to calculate the minimum acceleration needed (a), measured in meters per square second:

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot d}

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 82\,\frac{m}{s} and d = 1500\,m, then the acceleration that the jet must have is:

a = \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (1500\,m)}

a = 2.241\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.

A solid cylinder of mass M = 45 kg, radius R = 0.44 m and uniform density is pivoted on a frictionless axle coaxial with its sym
user100 [1]

Answer:

w_f = 1.0345 rad/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of the solid cylinder M = 45 kg

- Radius of the cylinder R = 0.44 m

- The mass of the particle m = 3.6 kg

- The initial speed of cylinder w_i = 0 rad/s

- The initial speed of particle V_pi = 3.3 m/s

- Mass moment of inertia of cylinder I_c = 0.5*M*R^2

- Mass moment of inertia of a particle around an axis I_p = mR^2

Find:

- What is the magnitude of its angular velocity after the collision?

Solution:

- Consider the mass and the cylinder as a system. We will apply the conservation of angular momentum on the system.

                                     L_i = L_f

- Initially, the particle is at edge at a distance R from center of cylinder axis with a velocity V_pi = 3.3 m/s contributing to the initial angular momentum of the system by:

                                    L_(p,i) = m*V_pi*R

                                    L_(p,i) = 3.6*3.3*0.44

                                    L_(p,i) = 5.2272 kgm^2 /s

- While the cylinder was initially stationary w_i = 0:

                                    L_(c,i) = I*w_i

                                    L_(c,i) = 0.5*M*R^2*0

                                    L_(c,i) = 0 kgm^2 /s

The initial momentum of the system is L_i:

                                    L_i = L_(p,i) + L_(c,i)

                                    L_i = 5.2272 + 0

                                    L_i = 5.2272 kg-m^2/s

- After, the particle attaches itself to the cylinder, the mass and its distribution around the axis has been disturbed - requires an equivalent Inertia for the entire one body I_equivalent. The final angular momentum of the particle is as follows:

                                   L_(p,f) = I_p*w_f

- Similarly, for the cylinder:

                                   L_(c,f) = I_c*w_f

- Note, the final angular velocity w_f are same for both particle and cylinder. Every particle on a singular incompressible (rigid) body rotates at the same angular velocity around a fixed axis.

                                  L_f = L_(p,f) + L_(c,f)

                                  L_f = I_p*w_f + I_c*w_f

                                  L_f = w_f*(I_p + I_c)

-Where, I_p + I_c is the new inertia for the entire body = I_equivalent that we discussed above. This could have been determined by the superposition principle as long as the axis of rotations are same for individual bodies or parallel axis theorem would have been applied for dissimilar axes.

                                  L_i = L_f

                                  5.2272 = w_f*(I_p + I_c)

                                  w_f =  5.2272/ R^2*(m + 0.5M)

Plug in values:

                                  w_f =  5.2272/ 0.44^2*(3.6 + 0.5*45)

                                  w_f =  5.2272/ 5.05296

                                  w_f = 1.0345 rad/s

How do you reduce friction
choli [55]
To reduce friction between two surfaces, you have to
make the surfaces smoother. 

The best way to do that is to introduce a fluid between them,
like grease, oil, or air.

I Explain why you feel cold when tap or well water in winter. state with reason.<br><br>​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

We feel cold when tap or well water in winter because heat flows from hot body to cold body.

Explanation:

Our <em>body</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>optimal</em><em> </em><em>status</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>hot</em><em> </em><em>body</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>tap</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em>ll</em><em> </em><em>water</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>cold</em><em> </em><em>body</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Theref</em><em>ore</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>feel</em><em> </em><em>cold</em><em>.</em>
