Answer:

$L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

Explanation:

m = Mass of each rod

L = Length of rod = Radius of ring

$m_r$ = Mass of ring

Moment of inertia of a spoke

$\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

For 8 spokes

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

Moment of inertia of ring

$m_rL^2$

Total moment of inertia

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}+m_rL^2\\\Rightarrow L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

The moment of inertia of the wheel through an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is $L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$ .

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?

spin [16.1K]

I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.

A charge of q= +15 uC moves in a Northeast direction with a speed 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field, pointing North, wi

grin007 [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnitude of charge, $q=15\ \mu C=15\times 10^{-6}\ C$

It moves in northeast direction with a speed of 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field.

Magnetic field, $B=0.08\ j$

Velocity, $v=(5\ cos25)i+(5\ sin25)j$

$v=[(4.53)i+(2.11)j]\ m/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force on the charge. Magnetic force is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i+2.11j)\times 0.08\ j]$

<em>Since</em>, $i\times j=k\ and\ j\times j=0$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i)\times (0.08)\ j]$

$F=0.00000543\ kN$

$F=5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$

So, the force acting on the charge is $5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$ and is moving in positive z axis. Hence, this is the required solution.

The compound ethylene (C2H4) is represented by this diagram. What statement best describes the arrangement of the atoms in an et

Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ethylene is a compound given by the chemical formula $H_2C=CH_2$ .

The bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms or carbon and carbon atoms are covalent bonds. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms combining.

A double bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. So 2 pairs of electrons are shared which means in total of 4 electrons are shared.

Bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms are single bonds. So, a pair of electrons is shared which means that in total of 2 electrons are shared.

Hence, the correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars

VLD [36.1K]

In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

A laser pulse of duration 25 ms has a total energy of 1.4 J. The wavelength of this radiation is

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the energy of one photon in the radiation:

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\$

where,

E = Energy of one photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of radiation = 567 nm = 5.67 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

$E = \frac{(6.625\ x\ 10^{-34}\ J.s)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.67\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}$

E = 3.505 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, the number of photons to make up the total energy can be calculated as follows:

$Total\ Energy = nE\\1.4\ J = n(3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J)\\n = \frac{1.4\ J}{3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J}\\$

<u>n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons</u>
