Answer:

The 'dark side' of the Moon refers to the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing away from the Earth. In reality it is no darker than any other part of the Moon's surface as sunlight does in fact fall equally on all sides of the Moon.

A torsion pendulum consists of an irregularly-shaped object of mass 20.0 kg suspended vertically by a wire of torsion constant 0

netineya [11]

Answer:

Rotational inertia of the object is, $I=0.023\ kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

Torsion constant of the wire, K = 0.85 N-m

Number of cycles, n = 69

Time, t = 66 s

To find,

The rotational inertia of the object.

Solution,

There exists a relationship between the moment of inertia, time period and the torsion constant of the spring is given by :

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{K}}$

Here I is the moment of inertia

T is the time period, and it is equal to the number of cycles per unit time

$I=\dfrac{T^2K}{4\pi ^2}$

$I=\dfrac{(69/66)^2\times 0.85}{4\pi ^2}$

$I=0.023\ kg-m^2$

So, the rotational inertia of the object is $0.023\ kg-m^2$ .

Which has greater mass of a bowling ball at rest for a rolling basketball which has greater momentum

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The rolling basketball has greater momentum.

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as the product of mass and velocity.

Given that the bowling mass has a greater mass than the basketball,

The bowling ball is at rest, so the velocity if the ball is zero.

The basketball is rolling, it has some velocity associated with it.

Therefore, the momentum of the bowling ball is zero.

The basketball has some momentum associated with it.

Hence, the rolling basketball has greater momentum.

Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = $\dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}$ = 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
