Where does the energy that heats the Moon's rocks come from? How does it get there?

Physics

Alecsey [184]3 years ago

Some of it may be from tidal heating, but the majority of it is probably from the decay of radioactive material. Its unlikely that there is any heat left over from when the Moon formed, when it was molten.

A small grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0*10-5kgm2. What net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acc
kvv77 [185]

Hi there!

We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:

\huge\boxed{\Sigma \tau = I \alpha}

Στ = Net Torque (Nm)

I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)

α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)

We can plug in the given values to solve.

\Sigma \tau = (4 * 10^{-5})(150) = \boxed{0.006 Nm}

An infinite conducting cylindrical shell of outer radius r1 = 0.10 m and inner radius r2 = 0.08 m initially carries a surface ch
irinina [24]

Answer:

a) \sigma_{\rm in} = -2.18~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

b) \sigma_{\rm out}= 1.12~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

c) E = \frac{\sigma(r_1 + r_2)}{\epsilon_0 r}

Explanation:

Before the wire is inserted, the total charge on the inner and outer surface of the cylindrical shell is as follows:

Q_{\rm in} = \sigma A_{\rm in} = \sigma(2\pi r_1 h) = (-0.35)(2\pi (0.08) h) = -0.175h~{\rm \mu C}

Q_{\rm out} = \sigma A_{\rm out} = \sigma(2\pi r_2 h) = (-0.35)(2\pi (0.1) h) = -0.22h~{\rm \mu C}

Here, 'h' denotes the length of the cylinder. The total charge of the cylindrical shell is -0.395h μC.

When the thin wire is inserted, the positive charge of the wire attracts the same amount of negative charge on the inner surface of the shell.

Q_{\rm wire} = \lambda h = 1.1h~{\rm \mu C}

a) The new charge on the inner shell is -1.1h μC. Therefore, the new surface charge density of the inner shell can be calculated as follows:

\sigma_2 = \frac{Q_{\rm in}}{2\pi r_1h} = \frac{-1.1h}{2\pi r_1 h} = \frac{-1.1}{2\pi(0.08)} = -2.18~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

b) The new charge on the outer shell is equal to the total charge minus the inner charge. Therefore, the new charge on the outer shell is +0.705 μC.

The new surface charge density can be calculated as follows:

\sigma_{\rm out}= \frac{Q_{\rm out}}{2\pi r_2h} = \frac{0.705h}{2\pi r_2 h} = \frac{0.705}{2\pi(0.1)} = 1.12~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

c) The electric field outside the cylinder can be found by Gauss' Law:

\int{\vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}

We will draw an imaginary cylindrical shell with radius r > r2. The integral in the left-hand side will be equal to the area of the imaginary surface multiplied by the E-field.

E(2\pi r h) = \frac{Q_{\rm enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi rh = \frac{\sigma 2\pi (r_1 + r_2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = \frac{\sigma(r_1 + r_2)}{\epsilon_0 r}

PLEASE HELPPP ASAP
vodomira [7]

Answer:

F = 12.5N

Explanation:

Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

F = ma

F = (2.5kg) x (5m/s^2)

F = 12.5N

A race car moving along a circular track has a centripetal acceleration of 15.4 m/s? If the car has
Helen [10]

Answer:

r = 58.44 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the centripetal acceleration with the tangential velocity and the radius of rotation.

a = v²/r

where:

a = centripetal acceleration = 15.4 [m/s²]

v = tangential speed = 30 [m/s]

r = radius or distance [m]

r = v²/a

r = 30²/15.4

r = 58.44 [m]
