Answer:

L = 4.58 x 10⁴ kg.m²/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by the formula:

L = mvr

but, v = rω

Therefore,

L = mr²ω

where,

L = Angular Momentum of the person = ?

m = mass of person = 99 kg

r = radius of earth = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

ω = Angular Speed of Earth's Rotation = θ/t

Since, earth completes 1 rotation in 1 day. Hence,

ω = (2π rad/1 day)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

ω = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Therefore,

L = (99 kg)(6.37 x 10⁶ m)²(7.27 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)

<u>L = 4.58 x 10⁴ kg.m²/s</u>

?/1 Jorge traveled 5 miles north to school. He then traveled 3 miles west to the store. Then he left the store and traveled 5 mi

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

He's 3 miles west of school.

Explanation:

He went 5 miles up and 5 miles down which means that he really didn't go up or down. In between that, he went 3 miles west so if the 5 milers don't count, this puts him at 3 miles west of school.

Two astronauts, each with a mass of 50 kg, are connected by a 7 m massless rope. Initially they are rotating around their center

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w_f = 1.531 \ rad/ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of each astronauts is $m = 50 \ kg$

The initial distance between the two astronauts $d_i = 7 \ m$

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as $r_i = \frac{d_i}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \ m$

The initial angular velocity is $w_1 = 0.5 \ rad /s$

The distance between the two astronauts after the rope is pulled is $d_f = 4 \ m$

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as $r_f = \frac{d_f}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2\ m$

Generally from the law of angular momentum conservation we have that

$I_{k_1} w_{k_1}+ I_{p_1} w_{p_1} = I_{k_2} w_{k_2}+ I_{p_2} w_{p_2}$

Here $I_{k_1 }$ is the initial moment of inertia of the first astronauts which is equal to $I_{p_1}$ the initial moment of inertia of the second astronauts So

$I_{k_1} = I_{p_1 } = m * r_i^2$

Also $w_{k_1 }$ is the initial angular velocity of the first astronauts which is equal to $w_{p_1}$ the initial angular velocity of the second astronauts So

$w_{k_1} =w_{p_1 } = w_1$

Here $I_{k_2 }$ is the final moment of inertia of the first astronauts which is equal to $I_{p_2}$ the final moment of inertia of the second astronauts So

$I_{k_2} = I_{p_2} = m * r_f^2$

Also $w_{k_2 }$ is the final angular velocity of the first astronauts which is equal to $w_{p_2}$ the final angular velocity of the second astronauts So

$w_{k_2} =w_{p_2 } = w_2$

So

$mr_i^2 w_1 + mr_i^2 w_1 = mr_f^2 w_2 + mr_f^2 w_2$

=> $2 mr_i^2 w_1 = 2 mr_f^2 w_2$

=> $w_f = \frac{2 * m * r_i^2 w_1}{2 * m * r_f^2 }$

=> $w_f = \frac{3.5^2 * 0.5}{ 2^2 }$

=> $w_f = 1.531 \ rad/ s$

A projectile is launched diagonally into the air and has a hang time of 24.5 seconds. Approximately how much time is required fo

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$t=12.25\ seconds$

Explanation:

<u>Diagonal Launch </u>

It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.

The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is

$x=v_ocos\theta t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, $\theta$ is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity

The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_osin\theta}{g}$

There are two times where the value of y is $y_o$ when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making $y=y_o$

$\displaystyle y_o=y_o+v_osin\theta\ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Removing $y_o$ and dividing by t (t different of zero)

$\displaystyle 0=v_osin\theta-\frac{gt}{2}$

Then we find the total flight as

$\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_osin\theta}{g}$

We can easily note the total time (hang time) is twice the maximum (apex) time, so the required time is

$\boxed{t=24.5/2=12.25\ seconds}$

In the pair of supply and demand equations below, where x represents the quantity demanded in units of a thousand and p the unit

arlik [135]

Answer:

Equilibrium quantity = 5

Equilibrium price = 40

Explanation:

given:

p = -x²-3x+80

p = 7x+5

For the equilibrium quantity the price from both the functions will be equal

thus, we have

-x² - 3x + 80 = 7x+5

⇒ x² +3x + 7x + 5 - 80 = 0

⇒x² + 10x - 75 = 0

now solving for x

x²- 5x + 15x -75 = 0

x(x-5) + 15(x-5) = 0

therefore, the two roots of the equation are

x = 5 and x = -15

since the quantity cannot be in negative

therefore, the equilibrium quantity will be = 5

now the equilibrium price can be found out by substituting the equilibrium quantity in any of the equation

thus,

p = -(5)² -3(5) + 80 = 40

or

p = 7(5) + 5 = 40
