A thin cylindrical shell and a solid cylinder have the same mass and radius. The two are released side by side and roll down, wi
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity be v

Total energy at the bottom

= rotational + linear kinetic energy

= 1/2 Iω² + 1/2 mv² ( I moment of inertia of shell  = mr² )

= 1/2 mr²ω² + 1/2 mv² ( v = ω r )

= 1/2 mv² +1/2 mv²

= mv²

mv² = mgh ( conservation of energy )

v² = gh

v = √gh

= √9.8 x 1.8

= 4.2 m /s

It is proposed that a spaceship might be propelled in the solar system by radiation pressure, using a large sail made of foil. W
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

962291.57928 m²

Explanation:

P_r = Pressure = 2\dfrac{I}{c}  (full reflection)

I = Intensity = \dfrac{P}{A}=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P = Power = 3.9\times 10^{26}\ W

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

M = Mass of Sun = 1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

m = Mass of ship = 1500 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Force of radiation is given by

F_r=P_rA\\\Rightarrow F_r=2\dfrac{I}{c}\times A\\\Rightarrow F_r=2\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2c} A

This force will balance the gravitational force as stated in the question

\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=2\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2c} A\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{4\pi cGMm}{2P}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{4\times \pi\times 3\times 10^8\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 1500}{2\times 3.9\times 10^{26}}\\\Rightarrow A=962291.57928\ m^2

The area of the must be 962291.57928 m²

A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.4 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv^2 What is the value of b?
julia-pushkina [17]
Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255

Cassie pulled the boat onto the ice and adjusted its sails. Once she got started she would be able to steer, change direction an
gladu [14]

Wind Energy is the kind of energy will Cassie uses to power the boat.

What is wind energy?

The method of producing electricity using air or wind currents that naturally occur in the earth's atmosphere is known as wind energy (or wind power). Electricity is produced by modern wind turbines that harness the kinetic energy of the wind. Wind passing across the turbine's blades is the initial step.

What is the major problem with wind energy?

Wind energy has the potential to have negative environmental effects, including the possibility of reducing, fragmenting, or deteriorating habitat for wildlife, fish, and plants, as with all energy supply choices. Furthermore, flying animals like birds and bats may be harmed by turbine blades in operation.

Why is the current atomic model called the "electron could model"
vlada-n [284]
The diagram is showing a 3d model of an atom, with all of the electrons demonstrated in a rounded shape, which resembles a cloud, thus being called an electron cloud.
