Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Acceleration due to gravity (g) is the accelerational force experienced by a body as a result of the influence of the earth's gravitational force. It is a vector quantity, that is, it has both magnitude and direction.</em>

<em>The acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth. Hence, g at the equatorial region is slightly lesser (9.780 m/s2) than that of the polar regions (9.832 m/s2) of the earth because the earth bulges at the equator leading to a higher radius than at the poles. </em>

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 24 kg , sit in seats opposite one another, what is the moment of inertia about the rot

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one child = 16 kg

Mass of second child = 24 kg

Suppose a playground toy has two seats, each 6.1 kg, attached to very light rods of length r = 1.5 m.

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=I_{1}+I_{2}$

$I=(m+m_{1})\times r^2+(m+m_{2})\times r^2$

m = mass of seat

m₁ =mass of one child

m₂ = mass of second child

r = radius of rod

Put the value into the formula

$I=(16+6.1)\times(1.5)^2+(24+6.1)\times(1.5)^2$

$I=117.45\ kg-m^2$

Hence, The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?

SSSSS [86.1K]

You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

(6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²) = 3.158 seconds (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.

While Newton's Second Law often deals with formulas and numerical calculations, there exist one very important nonnumerical conv

zheka24 [161]

Option B is the correct answer.

MKS system gives the following units:

Distance ----- meters

Mass ----- Kilograms

Time ----- seconds

meter is basic unit for length measurement. smaller units are centimeter, millimeter, micrometer, bigger units are kilometer and so on.

kilogram is the basic unit for mass. smaller unit is gram.

second is the basic unit for time. Greater units are minutes, hours, smallest unit are micro second and so on.

A pendulum of length L is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is at rest the period of the pendulum is

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.

As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.
