Answer:

Earth's tilted rotation axis.

Just took the test and I got it right

Explanation:

Equinoxes and solstices occur because Earth's rotation axis is tilted. This is what causes variations in the seasons throughout the year.

The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²

Explanation:

Given that the moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is I₀.

The parallel axis theorem for moment of inertia states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass and the product of mass and the square of the distance between the two axes.

The moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is given to be I₀

The distance between the two axes is L/2 (total length of the rod divided by 2

From the parallel axis theorem we have

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.90 x 105 P

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inside pressure $P_{in}= 1.90\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Area $A=3.90\times10^{-4}\ m^2$

Outside pressure = 1 atm

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

$F_{net}=F_{in}-F_{out}$

$F_{net}=(P_{in}-P_{out})A$

Where, $P_{in}$ =inside Pressure

$P_{out}$ =outside Pressure

A = area

Put the value into the formula

$F_{net}=(1.90\times10^{5}-1.013\times10^{5})3.90\times10^{-4}$

$F_{net}=34.59\ N$

Hence, The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

Part A A uniform solid disk of radius 1.60 m and mass 2.30 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of an inclined plane. If the

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Height will be 3.8971 m

Explanation:

We have given that radius of the solid r = 1.60 m

Mass of the solid disk m = 2.30 kg

Angular velocity $\omega =4.46rad/sec$

Moment of inertia is given by $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2$

Transnational Kinetic energy is given by $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ as we know that v = $v=\omega r$

So $KE=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

Rotational kinetic energy is given by $KE_{ROTATIONAL}=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \right )\omega ^2=\frac{1}{4}m(r\omega )^2$

Potential energy is given by mgh

According to energy conservation

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2+\frac{1}{4}m(\omega r)^2$

$h=\frac{3r^2\omega ^2}{4g}=\frac{3\times 1.60^2\times 4.46^2}{4\times 9.8}=3.8971m$
