Answer:
a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s
b.) V = 4.4 m/s
Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.
So,
Radius r = 0.6 m
Mass M = 2 kg
Velocity V = 1.1 m/s
Angular momentum L can be expressed as;
L = MVr
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1
the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1
b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,
New radius = 0.15 m
Using the same formula again
L = 2( MVr)
2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )
1.32 = 0.3 V
V = 1.32/0.3
V = 4.4 m/s
Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s
Answer:
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.
Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:
Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s
Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s
Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s
Substituting this into p=mv again:
1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!
1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)
Explanation:
1. Low-energy particle detector: This particle detector measures the charged particles of the solar winds.
2. Magnetometer boom: This device measures magnetic fields produced by astronomical bodies.
3. High-gain antenna: A HGA has a narrow radio beam that is used to enhance the strength of signal. They simply amplify the weak signals.
4. Photopolarimeter: This is an instrument that is used to measure the strength and intensity and polarization of reflected light.
