Answer:

<em>The kinetic energy is 600 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Energy</u>

The principle of the conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy in a system remains constant as long as the only forces acting are conservative forces.

The mechanical energy is defined as the sum of the potential plus kinetic energies:

E = U + K

Where E is the total mechanical energy, U is the gravitational potential energy and K is the kinetic energy.

Solving for K:

K = E - U

The system described has a total mechanical energy of E=950 J and gravitational potential energy of U=350 J, thus:

K = 950 J - 350 J

K = 600 J

The kinetic energy is 600 J

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg.m^2. The father

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial angular velocity $\omega_o = 0$

angular acceleration $\alpha$ = 4.44 rad/s²

Using the formula:

$\omega = \omega_o+ \alpha t$

Making t the subject of the formula:

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

where;

$\omega = 1.53 \ rad/s^2$

∴

$t= \dfrac{1.53-0}{4.44 }$

t = 0.345 s

Using the formula:

$\omega ^2 = \omega _o^2 + 2 \alpha \theta$

here;

$\theta$ = angular displacement

∴

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_o^2}{2 \alpha }$

$\theta = \dfrac{(1.53)^2 -0^2}{2 (4.44) }$

$\theta =0.264 \ rad$

Recall that:

2π rad = 1 revolution

Then;

0.264 rad = (x) revolution

$x = \dfrac{0.264 \times 1}{2 \pi}$

x = 0.042 revolutions

Here; force = 270 N

radius = 1.20 m

The torque = F * r

$\tau = 270 \times 1.20 \\ \\ \tau = 324 \ Nm$

However;

From the moment of inertia;

$Torque( \tau) = I \alpha \\ \\ Since( I \alpha) = 324 \ Nm. \\ \\ Then; \\ \\ \alpha= \dfrac{324}{I}$

given that;

I = 84.4 kg.m²

$\alpha= \dfrac{324}{84.4} \\ \\ \alpha=3.84 \ rad/s^2$

For re-tardation; $\alpha=-3.84 \ rad/s^2$

Using the equation

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

$t= \dfrac{0-1.53}{ -3.84 }$

$t= \dfrac{1.53}{ 3.84 }$

t = 0.398s

The required time it takes= 0.398s

How are the surface of Mercury and Mars similar to the surface of the Earth?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The terrestrial planets all have rocky surfaces that feature mountains, plains, valleys and other formations. ... Mars has very low atmospheric pressure, and Mercury has almost none, so craters are more common on these planets.

The picture below shows Lake Jackson in Florida

nikklg [1K]

The reason why Lake Jackson disappeared is A. opening of a sinkhole.
Pollution, high atmospheric temperature, and absorption of water by the land aren't enough for an entire lake to disappear, however, a sinkhole may contribute to that. There are two major depressions (sinkholes) in this lake in Florida, and they even have their own names - Porter Sink and Lime Sink.
