You pretty much just have to convert and be mindful of significant figures.

5 km = 3 miles
0.3 cm = 0.12 in

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bu

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$ M

Explanation:

To apply the concept of angular momentum conservation, there should be no external torque before and after

As the asteroid is travelling directly towards the center of the Earth, after impact ,it does not impose any torque on earth's rotation, So angular momentum of earth is conserved

⇒ $I_{1} \times W_{1} =I_{2} \times W_{2}$

$I_{1}$ is the moment of interia of earth before impact
$W_{1}$ is the angular velocity of earth about an axis passing through the center of earth before impact
$I_{2}$ is moment of interia of earth and asteroid system
$W_{2}$ is the angular velocity of earth and asteroid system about the same axis

let $W_{1}=W$

since $\text{Time period of rotation}∝$ $\frac{1}{\text{Angular velocity}}$

⇒ if time period is to increase by 25%, which is $\frac{5}{4}$ times, the angular velocity decreases 25% which is $\frac{4}{5}$ times

therefore $W_{1}$ $=$ $\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1}$

$I_{1}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ (moment of inertia of solid sphere)

where M is mass of earth

R is radius of earth

$I_{2}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}+M_{1}\times R^{2}$

(As given asteroid is very small compared to earth, we assume it be a particle compared to earth, therefore by parallel axis theorem we find its moment of inertia with respect to axis)

where $M_{1}$ is mass of asteroid

⇒ $\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2} \times W_{1}=}(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ $+$ $M_{1}\times R^{2})\times(\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1})$

$\frac{1}{2} \times M\times R^{2}$ = $(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ + $M_{1}\times R^{2})$

$M_{1}\times R^{2}=$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M\times R^{2}$

⇒ $M_{1}=}$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M$

How do you find circular motion?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

By multiplying the rotational frequency with the circumference we can determine the average speed of the object. The circular velocity formula is expressed as, vc = 2 πr / T. Where in, r denotes the radius of the circular orbit. T is time period.

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength= $\lambda=410 nm$

$\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

$\theta=14.5^{\circ}$

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

$(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta$

Substitute the values

$(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5$

$d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}$

$d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm$

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm

A pendulum that has a period of 2.67000 s and that is located where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.77 m/s2 is moved to a l

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for time period of pendulum is given as follows

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

where l is length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity .

Putting the given values for first place

$2.67=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.77} }$

Putting the values for second place

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81} }$

Dividing these two equation

$\frac{T}{2.67} =\sqrt{\frac{9.77}{9.81} }$

T = 2.66455 s.

What is cytoplasm in a animal cell?

qaws [65]

Answer:

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills in all of the. space between the nucleus and the plasma membrane. All of the organelles within a cell are suspended in this fluid. The main function of the cytoplasm is to support the internal structures of the cell as well as maintaining shape and consistency of the cell.
