Answer:

If an object pushes out an amount of water equal to its own weight, the upward force acting on it will be equal to gravity - and the object will float.

Explanation:

The buoyant force has an impact on the object in the water and equals the weight of the water displaced by the object. Every object placed in water has some buoyancy force that pushes it against the gravitational force, and this means that any object loses weight in the water.

A roulette wheel with a 1.0m radius reaches a maximum angular speed of 18 rad/s before it stops 35 revolutions ( 220 rad ) after

Alex17521 [72]

Max ang. speed(u) = 18 rad/s
final ang. speed(v) = 0
ang. displacement(s) = 220 rad

ang. acceleration = (v^2 - u^2)/2s = -18^2 / 2*220 = -0.7364 rad/s^2

v = u +at
0 = 18 - 0.7364t
t = 18/0.7364
t = 24.44 seconds

The answer is letter A. meteorite bombardment.
During the Earth's earliest beginning, it went through a period of catastrophic and intense formation. By 3-8- 4.1 billion years ago, Earth's atmosphere was never the same as today. This is because of its formation during the pre-Cambrian period whereby t<span>he Earth formed under so much heat and pressure that it formed as a molten planet.

Earth was bombarded continuously by the remnants of the dust and debris — like asteroids, meteors and comets — until it formed into a solid sphere, pulled into orbit around the sun and began to cool down during the Hellish period (4.5 to 3.8 billion years ago).

What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 400Hz and a wavelength of 0.5 meters

iren2701 [21]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Let’s take for instance the case of a wave with a frequency of 400 Hz going through a material at a speed of .5 m/s. The wavelength result is 12 m. Wave velocity (m/s) = Frequency (Hz) x Wavelength (m)

Find the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, I0 for a lamina that occupies the part of the disk x2 y2 ≤ 36 in the first quadrant if the d

Tasya [4]

Answer:

I(x) = 1444×k × ${\pi}$

I(y) = 1444×k × ${\pi}$

I(o) = 3888×k × ${\pi}$

Explanation:

Given data

function = x^2 + y^2 ≤ 36

function = x^2 + y^2 ≤ 6^2

to find out

the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, Io

solution

first we consider the polar coordinate (a,θ)

and polar is directly proportional to a²

so p = k × a²

so that

x = a cosθ

y = a sinθ

dA = adθda

I(x) = ∫y²pdA

take limit 0 to 6 for a and o to $\pi /2$ for θ

I(x) = $\int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ y²p dA

I(x) = $\int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ (a sinθ)²(k × a²) adθda

I(x) = k $\int_{0}^{6}a^(5)$ da × $\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ (sin²θ)dθ

I(x) = k $\int_{0}^{6}a^(5)$ da × $\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ (1-cos2θ)/2 dθ

I(x) = k $({r}^{6}/6)^(5)_0$ × ${θ/2 - sin2θ/4}^{\pi /2}_0$

I(x) = k × $({6}^{6}/6)$ × ( ${\pi /4} - sin\pi /4)$

I(x) = k × $({6}^{5})$ × ${\pi /4}$

I(x) = 1444×k × ${\pi}$ .....................1

and we can say I(x) = I(y) by the symmetry rule

and here I(o) will be I(x) + I(y) i.e

I(o) = 2 × 1444×k × ${\pi}$

I(o) = 3888×k × ${\pi}$ ......................2

Which process requires more energy: completely vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at 1 atm pressure or completely vaporiz

Lilit [14]

The correct answer would be the first option. The process that would need more energy would be vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This can be seen from the latent heat of vaporization of each system. For the saturated water at 1 atm, the latent heat is equal to 40.7 kJ per mole while, at 8 atm, the latent heat is equal to 36.4 kJ per mole. The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat needed in order to vaporize a specific amount of substance without any change in the temperature. As we can observe, more energy is needed by the liquid water at 1 atm.
