stira [4]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

When running your engine, you cause debris, rocks and propeller blast to be directed towards people or other aircraft. Is this c
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is reckless. This is because it is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure that the direction of the propeller blast is away from people or other aircraft and in a safe direction.

Explanation:

Yes, it is reckless to let the propeller blast face people and other aircraft. This is because it is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure that the direction of the propeller blast is away from people or other aircraft and in a safe direction. People and other aircraft can be injured by the debris and the rocks that are scattered by the engine of the aircraft.

You have a pendulum clock made from a uniform rod of mass M and length L pivoting around one end of the rod. Its frequency is 1
drek231 [11]

The new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

     

The given parameters;

  • <em>Mass of the pendulum, = M </em>
  • <em>Length of the pendulum, = L</em>
  • <em>Initial angular speed, </em>\omega _i<em> = 1 rad/s</em>

The moment of inertia of the rod about the end is given as;

I_i = \frac{1}{3} ML^2

The moment of inertia of the rod between the middle and the end is calculated as;

I_f = \int\limits^L_{L/2} {r^2\frac{M}{L} } \, dr = \frac{M}{3L} [r^3]^L_{L/2} =  \frac{M}{3L} [L^3 - \frac{L^3}{8} ] = \frac{M}{3L} [\frac{7L^3}{8} ]= \frac{7ML^2}{24}

Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;

I _i \omega _i = I _f \omega _f\\\\\frac{ML^2}{3} (1 \ rad/s)= \frac{7ML^2}{24} \times \omega _f\\\\\frac{24 \times ML^2}{3 \times 7 ML^2} (1 \ rad/s)= \omega _f\\\\1.14 \ rad/s = \omega _f

Thus, the new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.70c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision
marishachu [46]

Answer:

A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

x \approx 103,46x10^{9}m.

B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

t=377,29s

Explanation:

We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).

An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.

<em>Lorentz transformation</em>

The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.

The Lorentz transformation is

                          x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                                y'=y

                                z'=z

                          t'=\frac{t-\frac{v}{c^{2}}x}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations

                       x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                           y=y'

                           z=z'

                        t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

First we calculate the expression in the denominator

                            \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}=\frac{(0,70)^{2}c^{2}}{c^{2}} =(0,70)^{2}

                                \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} =0,714

then we calculate t

                      t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c}{c^{2}}.3,4x10^{10}m}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c .3,4x10^{10}m}{299792458\frac{m}{s}}}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+79,388s}{0,714}

finally we get that

                                     t=377,29s

then we calculate x

                         x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70c.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70.299792458\frac{m}{s}.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+39872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{73872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=103462740775,91m

finally we get that

                                     x \approx 103,46x10^{9} m

6. What are 3 different evidences of evolution? How is each form used to provide evidence of evolution?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.
