The rotational inertia of a collapsing spinning star changes to 1/6 its initial value. What is the ratio of the new rotational k

inetic energy to the initial rotational kinetic energy

storchak [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the initial rotational inertia be I and final rotational inertia be I / 6 .

Let the initial angular velocity be ω₁ and final angular velocity be ω₂.

Applying conservation of angular momentum law

I x ω₁ = I / 6 x ω₂

6 ω₁  = ω₂

initial rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 I x ω₁ ²

Final  rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 ( I / 6 ) x ω₂ ²

Final  rotational kinetic energy / initial rotational kinetic energy

= ( 1 / 6 ) x ω₂ ² / ω₁ ²

=  ω₂ ² / 6ω₁ ²

= 36 ω₁ ² / 6ω₁ ²

= 6 .

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea
Savatey [412]

Answer:

41.81^{\circ}

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector \overrightarrow{OA} is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, \vec {R} must be in the north direction.

Let \overrightarrow{AB} is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector \overrightarrow {OA} and head of the vector \overrightarrow{AB} must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|

\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3

\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23

\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of 41.81^{\circ}  in the north of east direction.

Which color of light comes from a greater energy transition?<br> 1. Red 2. Yellow 3. Green 4. Blue
Nataly [62]

Answer:

D.) Blue

Explanation:

because Blue is a higher frequency and therefore corresponds to a higher energy level transition.

I hope this helped you :)
