Answer:

The ocean and atmosphere are connected. They work together to move heat and fresh water across the globe. Wind-driven and ocean-current circulations move warm water toward the poles and colder water toward the equator. ... The majority of the thermal energy at the Earth's surface is stored in the ocean.

The smooth muscle in the wall of the bladder when stretched triggers the micturition reflex (urination).

<h3>What is a Bladder?</h3>

This is defined as a lined layers of muscle tissue that stretch to hold urine in organisms.

In older people the elasticity of the bladder is reduced which is why it makes it harder for them to hold urine for a long time.

A solid wood door 1.00 m wide and 2.00 m high is hinged along one side and has a total mass of 40.0 kg. Initially open and at re

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The final angular speed is 0.223 rad/s

Explanation:

By the conservation of angular moment:

ΔL=0

L₁=L₂

L₁ is the initial angular moment

L₂ is the final angular moment

L₁ is given by:

$L_1=L_{door} + L_{mud}$

As the door is at rest its angular moment is zero and the angular moment of mud can be considered as a point object, then:

$L_1= L_{mud}= mvr$

where

r is the distance from the support point to the axis of rotation (the mud hits at the center of the door; r=0.5 m)

v is the speed

m is the mass of the mud

L₂ is given by:

$L_2= (I_{door} + I_{mud}) \omega_f$

ωf is the final angular speed

The moment of inertia of the door can be considered as a rectangular plate:

$I_{door}=\frac{1}{3}MW^2$

M is the mass of the door

W is the width of the door

The moment of inertia of the mud is:

$I_{mud}=mr^2$

Hence,

$L_1=L_2\\mvr= (I_{door} + I_{mud}) \omega_f\\\omega_f=\frac{mvr}{I_{door} + I_{mud}} \\\omega_f=\frac{mvr}{I_{door} + I_{mud}}$

$\omega_f=\frac{0.5kg \times 12m/s \times 0.5m}{\frac{1}{3}40kg(1m)^2+0.5kg \times (0.5m)^2}$

$\omega_f=0.223 \frac{rad}{s}$

Describe three events about matter and energy that cannot be explained

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

As anything that has mass and takes up space. Matter is found in 3 major states; solid, liquid and gas. Atoms are the smallest particle of matter. They are so small that you cannot see them with your eyes or even with a standard microscope.

Have a good day! :D
