Answer:

The cloud moves 9050 meters to the east in 12.5 minutes.

Explanation:

Let suppose that mass of the cloud is negligible. meaning that effects of gravity are negligible and that altitude of the cloud remains constant. If the cloud drifts at constant velocity, travelled distance is defined by following formula:

$\Delta s = v\cdot \Delta t$ (1)

Where:

$v$ - Velocity, in meters per second.

$\Delta t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $v = 724\,\frac{m}{min}$ and $\Delta t = 12.5\,min$ , then the travelled distance after 12.5 minutes is:

$\Delta s = 9050\,m$

The cloud moves 9050 meters to the east in 12.5 minutes.

How do Air molecules enable sound to travel from a radios speaker to your ears?

MatroZZZ [7]

The radio frequencies push one air molecule that then bumps into a different air molecule.....which then hits another and another causing a line of crashing molecules that lead inside your ear and hits your ear drum causing it to vibrate which causes the sounds.

I need help on ideas for a science project.. (highschool ideas)

Nana76 [90]

A research question that would complete the third question you need that are related to the first 2 questions which are:

“what type of masks help prevent fog on glasses when breathing?”
“does a mask’s material affect the level of fog on glasses as an effect of breathing?”

Would be: "Are there any available masks that could prevent fog on glasses that could be improved upon"?

This new research question would help you find out if there is an already existing mask that could be made better.

<h3>What is a Research Question?</h3>

This refers to "a question that a research project sets out to answer". and seeks to give answers to particular phenomena.

Hence, we can see that the new research question Would be: "Are there any available masks that could prevent fog on glasses that could be improved upon"?

This new research question would help you find out if there is an already existing mask that could be made better.

Sort the forces as producing a torque of positive, negative, or zero magnitude about the rotational axis identified in part

Fantom [35]

a) Angular acceleration: $17.0 rad/s^2$

b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque

Explanation:

a)

In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.

The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:

$W_p =mg sin \theta$

where $\theta$ is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.

The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is

$\tau = W_p \frac{L}{2}=mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta$

where L is the length of the pencil.

The relationship between torque and angular acceleration $\alpha$ is

$\tau = I \alpha$ (1)

where

$I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2$

is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.

Substituting into (1) and solving for $\alpha$ , we find:

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{mg\frac{L}{2}sin \theta}{\frac{1}{3}mL^2}=\frac{3 g sin \theta}{2L}$

And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when $\theta=10^{\circ}$ is

$\alpha = \frac{3(9.8)(sin 10^{\circ})}{2(0.15)}=17.0 rad/s^2$

b)

There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:

- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude $mg$

- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R

The torque exerted by each force is given by

$\tau = Fd$

where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.

For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is

$\tau =mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta$

For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.

Therefore:

- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)

- Reaction force: zero torque

A light ray moving at a 54.3 deg

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$45.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Applying Snell's law

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n2*sin\theta_2\\1.33*sin(54.3) = 1.52*sin\theta_2\\sin\theta_2 = 1.33*0.81208353/1.52 = 0.71057\\\theta_2=sin^{-1} (0.71057)\\\theta_2 = 45.25^{\circ}$
