Answer:

C. Potential energy is related to an object's position, and kinetic

Explanation:

The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.

A 4.2-m-diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.79 rad/s . Its total moment of inertia is 1790

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

$w_2=0.467rad/s$

Explanation:

Four people standing on the ground each of mass and usually this questions have to find the final angular velocity

$m_t=4*70kg=280kg$

The radius $r=4.2/2=2.1m$

Angular velocity $w_1=0.79rad/s$

The moment of inertia total is $I_t=1790 kg/m^2$

Momento if inertia

$I_1=m_t*r^2$

$I_1=280kg*(2.1m)^2=1234.8kg*m^2$

Angular momentum

$I_1*w_1=I_t*w_2$

Solve to w2

$w_2=\frac{I_1*w_1}{I_t}$

$w_2=\frac{1790kg*m^2*0.79rad/s}{3024.8kg*m^2}$

$w_2=0.467rad/s$

In Figure 10-1, if the force exerted on a 3.0-kg backpack that is initally at rest is 20.0 N and the distance it acts over is 0.

pshichka [43]

I'm going to assume this is over a horizontal distance. You know from Newton's Laws that F=ma --> a = F/m. You also know from your equations of linear motion that v^2=v0^2+2ad. Combining these two equations gives you v^2=v0^2+2(F/m)d. We can plug in the given values to get v^2=0^2+2(20/3)0.25. Solving for v we get v=1.82 m/s!

A grating whose slits are 3.2x10^-4 cm apart produces a third-order fringe at a 25.°0 angle. What is the wavelength of light tha

Ber [7]

Answer:

The light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

Explanation:

let:

n be the order fringe

Ф be the angle that the light makes

d is the slit spacing of the grating

λ be the wavelength of the light

then, by Bragg's law:

n×λ = d×sin(Ф)

λ = d×sin(Ф)/n

λ = (3.2×10^-4 cm)×sin(25.0°)/3

= 4.51×10^-5 cm

≈ 4.51×10^-7 m

Therefore, the light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?

ale4655 [162]

That's "insolation" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

(200 kW) / (300 m²) = (666 and 2/3) watt/m² .

Note that this is the intensity of the incident radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
