Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

diameter of the rotating space = 2 Km

Force exerted at the edge of the space = 1 g

force experienced at the half way = ?

As the object is rotating in the circular part

Force is equal to centripetal acceleration.

at the edge

g = ω² r

ω is the angular velocity of the particle

r is the radius.

now, acceleration at the half way

g' = ω² r'

g' = \omega^2 (\dfrac{r}{2})

g' =\dfrac{1}{2}(\omega^2 r)

g'=\dfrac{g}{2}

People at the halfway experience g/2

hence, the correct answer is option B

azamat

Answer:   <u>Trough </u> can lift the 403,342 ton pioneering spirit crane vessel 10 meters in 30 seconds as if it was a cork. This about 36 GJ if work and 1 GW of power.

Explanation:

  • Why trough?

Trough is the correct answer because<u> pioneering scale usually abide only on  trough not on the other given options</u>. A long , narrow depression between the waves or ridges is known as a trough. The lower point in the period is the trough.

  • <u>Speed -:</u> Speed is the distance per unit of time that a body moves. It's a quantity scaler that has just magnitude.
  • <u>Wave energy -: </u>The transmission and capture of energy by ocean surface waves is wave energy (or wave power). The energy collected is then used for all sorts of useful work, including the generation of electricity, water desalination, and water pumping.
  • <u>Crest -</u>: A crest point within a cycle on a wave with the highest value of upward displacement. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the medium's displacement is at its height.
  • <u>Amplitude -:</u> The maximum displacement or distance measured from its equilibrium position, moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave, is called amplitude. It is equal to half of the vibration path's length.
  • <u>Period-</u>: The duration T is the time needed to pass a given point for one complete cycle of vibration. The wave length decreases as the frequency of a wave increases.
  • <u>Wavelength-:</u> The distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave can be described as the wavelength. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This implies that the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency. Similarly, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency would be.
  • <u>Frequency</u> -: Frequency defines the number of waves in a given amount of time that travel through a fixed location. In the Hertz unit, frequency is normally measured.
  • <u>Information</u> -: A piece of data is a basic fact about the identity or properties of an object, i.e. a portion of its example.
  • <u>Milli -</u>: Milli is known as a merged form meaning 'thousand' (millipede) used in the metric system for unit names equal to one thousandth of the base unit (millimeter) given.

Hence , the answer is <u>TROUGH.</u>

Why is pseudoscience bad?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It is quite difficult to picture a pseudoscientist—really picture him or her over the course of a day, a year, or a whole career. What kind or research does he or she actually do, what differentiates him or her from a carpenter, or a historian, or a working scientist? In short, what do such people think they are up to?

… it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.

The answer might surprise you. When they find time after the obligation of supporting themselves, they read papers in specific areas, propose theories, gather data, write articles, and, maybe, publish them. What they imagine they are doing is, in a word, “science”. They might be wrong about that—many of us hold incorrect judgments about the true nature of our activities—but surely it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.

What is pseudoscience?

“Pseudoscience” is a bad category for analysis. It exists entirely as a negative attribution that scientists and non‐scientists hurl at others but never apply to themselves. Not only do they apply the term exclusively as a discrediting slur, they do so inconsistently. Over the past two‐and‐a‐quarter centuries since the term popped into the Western European languages, a great number of disparate doctrines have been categorized as sharing a core quality—pseudoscientificity, if you will—when in fact they do not. It is based on this diversity that I refer to such beliefs and theories as “fringe” rather than as “pseudo”: Their defining characteristic is the distance from the center of the mainstream scientific consensus in whichever direction, not some essential property they share.

Scholars have by and large tended to ignore fringe science as regrettable sideshows to the main narrative of the history of science, but there is a good deal to be learned by applying the same tools of analysis that have been used to understand mainstream science. This is not, I stress, to imply that there is no difference between hollow‐Earth theories and geophysics; on the contrary, the differences are the point of the analysis. Focusing on the historical and conceptual relationship between the fringe and the core of the various sciences as that blurry border has fluctuated over the centuries provides powerful analytical leverage for understanding where contemporary anti‐science movements come from and how mainstream scientists might address them.

As soon as professionalization blossomed, tagging competing theories as pseudoscientific became an important tool for scientists to define what they understood science to be

The central claim of this essay is that the concept of “pseudoscience” was called into being as the shadow of professional science. Before science became a profession—with formalized training, credentialing, publishing venues, careers—the category of pseudoscience did not exist. As soon as professionalization blossomed, tagging competing theories as pseudoscientific became an important tool for scientists to define what they understood science to be. In fact, despite many decades of strenuous effort by philosophers and historians, a precise definition of “science” remains elusive. It should be noted however that the absence of such definitional clarity has not seriously inhibited the ability of scientists to deepen our understanding of nature tremendously.

Two wheels with fixed hubs and radii 0.51 m and 1.9 m, each having a mass of 3 kg, start from rest. Forces 5 N and F2 are applie
Katarina [22]

Answer:

18.63 N

Explanation:

Assuming that the sum of torques are equal

Στ = Iα

First wheel

Στ = 5 * 0.51 = 3 * (0.51)² * α

On making α subject of formula, we have

α = 2.55 / 0.7803

α = 3.27

If we make the α of each one equal to each other so that

5 / (3 * 0.51) = F2 / (3 * 1.9)

solve for F2 by making F2 the subject of the formula, we have

F2 = (3 * 1.9 * 5) / (3 * 0.51)

F2 = 28.5 / 1.53

F2 = 18.63 N

Therefore, the force F2 has to 18.63 N in order to impart the same angular acceleration to each wheel.

For the different values given for the radius of curvature RRR and speed vvv, rank the magnitude of the force of the roller-coas
nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

The force of the roller-coaster track on the cart at the bottom is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{R}, m is mass of roller coaster

Case 1.

R = 60 m v = 16 m/s

F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{60}=4.26m\ N

Case 2.

R = 15 m v = 8 m/s

F=\dfrac{(8)^2m}{15}=4.26m\ N

Case 3.

R = 30 m v = 4 m/s

F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{30}=0.54m\ N

Case 4.

R = 45 m v = 4 m/s

F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{45}=0.36m\ N

Case 5.

R = 30 m v = 16 m/s

F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{30}=8.54m\ N

Case 6.

R = 15 m v =12 m/s

F=\dfrac{(12)^2m}{15}=9.6m\ N

Ranking from largest to smallest is given by :

F>E>A=B>C>D

Question 33
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.
