Suppose the entire population of the world gathers in one spot and, at the sounding of a prearranged signal, everyone jumps up.

While all the people are in the air, does Earth gain momentum in the opposite direction?
a) No; the inertial mass of Earth is so large that the planet’s change in motion is imperceptible.
b) Yes; because of its much larger inertial mass, however, the change in momentum of Earth is much less than that of all the jumping people.
c) Yes; Earth recoils, like a rifle firing a bullet, with a change in momentum equal to and opposite that of the people.
d) It depends.

What are applications of zeroth law of thermodynamics?​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Applications of zeroth law of thermodynamics:

1. When we get very hot food, we wait to make it normal. In this case, hot food exchanges heat with surrounding and brings equilibrium.

2. We keep things in the fridge and those things come equilibrium with fridge temperature.

3. Temperature measurement with a thermometer or another device.

4. In the HVAC system, sensors or thermostats are used to indicate temperature. It always comes in a thermal equilibrium with room temperature.

5. If you and the swimming pool you’re in are at the same temperature, no heat is flowing from you to it or from it to you (although the possibility is there). You’re in thermal equilibrium.

An overhead electric power line carries a maximum current of 125 A. What is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic field at a poi
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Explanation:

B= μoI/(2πr)

B:  magnetic field strength

μo: permeability of free space and is equal to  4π×10^(-7) T.m/A

r: distance from the wire

I : current in the wire

B= (4π×10^(-7)×125)/(2π×4.5)

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

A 720 kg roller-coaster starts off from Location A. Assuming friction does not impede the car's motion, what will be the change
vaieri [72.5K]
We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

Problem 4: A uniform flat disk of radius R and mass 2M is pivoted at point P A point mass of 1/2 M is attached to the edge of th
brilliants [131]

From the case we know that:

  1. The moment of inertia Icm of the uniform flat disk witout the point mass is Icm = MR².
  2. The moment of inerta with respect to point P on the disk without the point mass is Ip = 3MR².
  3. The total moment of inertia (of the disk with the point mass with respect to point P) is I total = 5MR².

Please refer to the image below.

We know from the case, that:

m = 2M

r = R

m2 = 1/2M

distance between the center of mass to point P = p = R

Distance of the point mass to point P = d = 2R

We know that the moment of inertia for an uniform flat disk is 1/2mr². Then the moment of inertia for the uniform flat disk is:

Icm = 1/2mr²

Icm = 1/2(2M)(R²)

Icm = MR² ... (i)

Next, we will find the moment of inertia of the disk with respect to point P. We know that point P is positioned at the arc of the disk. Hence:

Ip = Icm + mp²

Ip = MR² + (2M)R²

Ip = 3MR² ... (ii)

Then, the total moment of inertia of the disk with the point mass is:

I total = Ip + I mass

I total = 3MR² + (1/2M)(2R)²

I total = 3MR² + 2MR²

I total = 5MR² ... (iii)
