1. When a car turns sharply to the right, objects in the back seat move to the left. Why?

Physics

Answer:

Explanation: It is inertia that causes the passengers to move toward the right side of the car. As the car swerves to left, passengers' body continues their motion as hitherto and as such it causes the passengers to move toward the right side of the car.

A 129-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 65.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the platform which is a uniform disk = 129 kg

Radius of the disk rotating about vertical axis = 1.61 m

Mass of the person  standing on platform = 65.7 kg

Distance from the center of platform = 1.07 m

Mass of the dog on the platform = 27.3 kg

Distance from center of platform = 1.31 m

We have to calculate the moment of inertia.

Formula:

MOI of disk = \frac{MR^2}{2}

Moment of inertia of the person and the dog will be mr^2.

Where m and r are different for both the bodies.

So,

Moment of inertia (I_y_y )  of the system with respect to the axis yy.

⇒ I_y_y=I_d_i_s_k + I_m_a_n+I_d_o_g

⇒ I_y_y=\frac{M_d_i_s_k(R_d_i_s_k)^2}{2} +M_m(r_c)^2+M_d_o_g(R_c)^2

⇒ I_y_y=\frac{129(1.61)^2}{2} +65.7(1.07)^2+27.2(1.31)^2

⇒ I_y_y=289.088\ kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2

The energy an object possesses due to its form and position is know as
zvonat [6]
I believe the energy being described is the potential energy. Potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy an object has because of its position or shape. It is also the energy possessed by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors. The major types of energy include the gravitational energy of an object that depends on its mass and its distance from the center of mass.

A scientist is studying the light emitted by several celestial objects. He records the shifts in each object’s spectral lines (i
forsale [732]

-- 400 nm shifted to 430 nm . . . longer than it should be; "red shifted"; moving away from Earth  

-- 610 nm shifted to 580 nm . . . shorter than at source; "blue shifted"; moving toward Earth

-- 512 nm shifted to 480 nm . . . shorter than at source; moving toward Earth

-- 670 nm shifted to 690 nm . . .longer than at source; moving away from Earth

Now I'd just like to ask one more itty bitty question, that you can think about while you're on this subject:  Astronomers really do this.  They measure how much the wavelength CHANGED, from the time it left the original source until the time they detect it. But HOW do they know what the wavelength WAS when it left the source ? ? ?

THIS is the part that blows my mind !

Withe light becomes a spectrum of seven colored lights after passing through a prism
Fiesta28 [93]

True. The 7 colors, also called a rainbow, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This rainbow is formed because the prism bends the white light and spreads it out into the colors it was made of. If there is more you were looking for, comment here.

Suppose that the average U.S. household uses 15600 kWh (kilowatt‑hours) of energy in a year. If the average rate of energy consu
sweet [91]

Answer:

a) 166.4 s

b) (2.155 × 10⁷) s

Explanation:

15600 KWh for a year,

1 year consists of 365 × 24 hours = 8760 hours.

So, the power consumed in a year for an average household = (Energy/time)

= (15600/8760) = 1.781 KW = 1781 W

a) If the average rate of energy consumed by the house was instead diverted to lift a 1.80 × 10 3 kg car 16.8 m into the air, how long would it take

The power required for this lifting = (mgh/t)

m = 1800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 16.8 m

t = ?

P = 1781 W

1781 = (1800×9.8×16.8)/t

t = (296,352/1781)

t = 166.4 s

b) how long would it take to lift a loaded Boeing 747 airplane, with a mass of 4.05 × 10 5 kg , to a cruising altitude of 9.67 km

The power required for this lifting = (mgh/t)

m = 405000 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 9.67 km = 9670 m

t = ?

P = 1781 W

1781 = (405000×9.8×9670)/t

t = (38,380,230,000/1781)

t = 21,549,820 s = (2.155 × 10⁷) s

Hope this Helps!!!
