Answer:

Satellites don't fall from the sky because they are orbiting Earth. Even when satellites are thousands of miles away, Earth's gravity still tugs on them. Gravity--combined with the satellite's momentum from its launch into space--cause the satellite go into orbit above Earth, instead of falling back down to the groundv

vovangra [49]

c. The Moon is positioned directly between the earth and the sun is the statement that does not result in an eclipse.

Explanation:

The Sun is completely blocked in a solar eclipse because the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun.
it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully blocks the Sun's light from Earth's perspective

Which statement describes steps involved in the production of hydroelectric power?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

A one-piece cylinder has a core section protruding from the larger drum and is free to rotate around its central axis. A rope wr

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude the net torque about its axis of rotation is 2.41 Nm

Solution:

As per the question:

The radius of the wrapped rope around the drum, r = 1.33 m

Force applied to the right side of the drum, F = 4.35 N

The radius of the rope wrapped around the core, r' = 0.51 m

Force on the cylinder in the downward direction, F' = 6.62 N

Now, the magnitude of the net torque is given by:

$\tau_{net} = \tau + \tau'$

where

$\tau$ = Torque due to Force, F

$\tau'$ = Torque due to Force, F'

$tau = F\times r$

$tau' = F'\times r'$

Now,

$\tau_{net} = - F\times r + F'\times r'$

$\tau_{net} = - 4.35\times 1.33 + 6.62\times 0.51 = - 2.41\ Nm$

The net torque comes out to be negative, this shows that rotation of cylinder is in the clockwise direction from its stationary position.

Now, the magnitude of the net torque:

$|\tau_{net}| = 2.41\ Nm$

What is the force exerted on a charge of 2. 5 µC moving perpendicular through a magnetic field of 3. 0 × 102 T with a velocity o

stira [4]

The force acting on a moving charge is known as the magnetic force. The force acting on the charge will be 3.75 N.

<h3>What is the force exerted on the charge?</h3>

Magnetic fields only exert a force on a moving electric charge. A moving charge generates a magnetic field. With an increase in charge and magnetic field strength, this force rises.

when charges have higher velocities, the force is stronger. However, the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Mathematically the force exerted on the charge will be

F=qvBsinα

F= force acting on the charge

v = velocity of charge

q = charge

F=qvBsinα

F=2.5×10⁻⁶×5.0×10³×3.0×10²

F=37.5 N

Hence The force acting on the charge will be 3.75 N.

To learn more about the force acting on charge refer to ;

brainly.com/question/451411

F = q V B sinα

Where F is the force applied to a moving charge.

V = charge velocity

q stands for charge.

α = angle between V and B directions

As a result, the moving charge is subjected to a force of 3.75 Newton.

A 392 N wheel comes off a moving truck and rolls without slipping along a highway. At the bottom of a hill it is rotating at 24

alex41 [277]

Answer:

h=12.41m

Explanation:

N=392

r=0.6m

w=24 rad/s

$I=0.8*m*r^{2}$

So the weight of the wheel is the force N divide on the gravity and also can find momentum of inertia to determine the kinetic energy at motion

$N=m*g\\m=\frac{N}{g}\\m=\frac{392N}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$

$m=40kg$

moment of inertia

$M_{I}=0.8*40.0kg*(0.6m} )^{2}\\M_{I}=11.5 kg*m^{2}$

Kinetic energy of the rotation motion

$K_{r}=\frac{1}{2}*I*W^{2}\\K_{r}=\frac{1}{2}*11.52kg*m^{2}*(24\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\\K_{r}=3317.76J$

Kinetic energy translational

$K_{t}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}\\v=w*r\\v=24rad/s*0.6m=14.4 \frac{m}{s}\\K_{t}=\frac{1}{2}*40kg*(14.4\frac{m}{s})^{2}\\K_{t}=4147.2J$

Total kinetic energy

$K=3317.79J+4147.2J\\K=7464.99J$

Now the work done by the friction is acting at the motion so the kinetic energy and the work of motion give the potential work so there we can find height

$K-W=E_{p}\\7464.99-2600J=m*g*h\\4864.99J=m*g*h\\h=\frac{4864.99J}{m*g}\\h=\frac{4864.99J}{392N}\\h=12.41m$
