Answer:

-0.25 rad/s^2

Explanation:

The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motions is:

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the net torque applied to the object

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

\tau = -12.5 Nm (net torque, with a negative sign since it is a friction torque, so it acts in the opposite direction as the motion)

I=50.0 kg m^2 is the moment of inertia

Solving for \alpha, we find the angular acceleration:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{-12.5 Nm}{50.0 kg m^2}=-0.25 rad/s^2

Well, galaxies are not stars at all rather they are collection of stars, nebulae, globular clusters and stuff like this.
Meteoroids are something entirely different.
Constellations are the pattern of stars.
So, "Binary Stars" is the Right One.

an ice cube placed in microwave melts in five minutes and it takes 3.50 kj of energy to melt it. what is the power of the microw
Artist 52 [7]

If the ice absorbed 350,000 joules in 5 minutes, then it absorbed energy
at the rate of

   (350,000 joules) / (5 x 60 seconds)  =<em>  1,166-2/3 watts</em> .

Surely the ice cube didn't absorb every joule delivered to the cooking chamber,
so the microwave oven's cooking power had to be significantly more than that.

We run a distance of 1000 m at a speed of 4.3 m/s. Calculate the time elapsed to cover this distance
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

So if we need to cover 1000 meters. And we go at a speed of 4.3 m/s. That means that every 4.3 meters we cover is 1 second. So we divide both amd get

1000/4.3 = 232.56 is approx the answer. Also the meters cancel out because

m/(m/s) = m*s/m, cancels out giving s as a unit.

<h2><u>Therefore the answer is 232.56 seconds</u></h2>
