Answer:

A Chinese Geomancer

 Explanation:

The compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD where it was called the "south-governor" or "South Pointing Fish" (sīnán 司南). The magnetic compass was not, at first, used for navigation, but for geomancy and fortune-telling by the Chinese.

However, it is believed Flavio Gioia first invented the refined compass, and a monument has been erected in Almafi Italy to honor his invention. The magnetic compass was probably developed by combining the wind rose and the lodestone. From this device, it is supposed the compass rose evolved.

This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.

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

Two spherical objects have masses of 3.1 x 10^5 kg and 6.5 x 10^3 kg. The gravitational attraction between them is 65 N. How far
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

4.55 x 10⁹m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object 1  = 3.1 x 10⁵kg

Mass of object 2 = 6.5 x 10³kg

Gravitational force  = 65N

Unknown:

Distance between them  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below from the universal gravitational law;

    Fg  =    \frac{G mass 1 x mass 2}{distance ^{2} }  

   G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

        65  = \frac{6.67 x 10^{11} x 3.1 x 10^{5} x 6.5 x 10^{3}   }{distance^{2} }    

   Distance  = 4.55 x 10⁹m

Suppose that the acceleration of a model rocket is proportional to the difference between 100 ft/sec and the rocket's velocity.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 80 ft/s

acceleration, a = 150 ft/s²

Let the time taken is t.

v = u + at

80 = 0 + 150 x t

t = 0.53 second
