In preparation for the final exam, our astronomy study group has reconvened to discuss Mercury's unique orbital properties. They

have expressed the following ideas: Student A: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 4 times, it rotates around its axis 6 times. Student B: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 6 times, it rotates around its axis 10 times. Student C: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 8 times, it rotates around its axis 12 times. Which student is incorrect

Answer:

The only incorrect statement is from student B

Explanation:

The planet mercury has a period of revolution of 58.7 Earth days and a rotation period around the sun of 87 days 23 ha, approximately 88 Earth days.

Let's examine student claims using these rotation periods

Student A. The time for 4 turns around the sun is

t = 4 88

t = 352 / 58.7 Earth days

In this time I make as many rotations on itself each one with a time to = 58.7 Earth days

#_rotaciones = t / to

#_rotations = 352 / 58.7

#_rotations = 6

therefore this statement is TRUE

student B. the planet rotates 6 times around the Sun

t = 6 88

t = 528 s

The number of rotations on itself is

#_rotaciones = t / to

#_rotations = 528 / 58.7

#_rotations = 9

False, turn 9 times

Student C. 8 turns around the sun

t = 8 88

t = 704 days

the number of turns on itself is

#_rotaciones = t / to

#_rotations = 704 / 58.7

#_rotations = 12

True

The only incorrect statement is from student B

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

the moment of force is 25 Nm.

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the book, F = 50 N

distance through which his hand was stretched, d = 50 cm = 0.5 m

The moment of force is calculated as;

moment of force = F x r

moment of force = 50 N x 0.5 m

moment of force = 25 Nm

Therefore, the moment of force is 25 Nm.

The dimensions of aluminum foil in a box for sale in super markets are 66 2/3 yards by 12 inches. the mass of the foil is 0.83 k

disa [49]

Length of the sheet is given as

$L = \frac{200}{3} yards = 6096 cm$

width of the sheet is given as

$w = 12 inches = 30.48 cm$

now let say its thickness is "t"

so the volume of the sheet is given as

$V = L*w*t$

$V = 6096*30.48* t$

$V = 185806.08*t cm^3$

mass of the sheet is given as

$m = 0.83 kg = 830 gram$

now we have

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

$2.70 = \frac{830}{185806.08*t}$

by solving above we have

$t = 1.65 * 10^{-3} cm$

so the thickness of sheet will be above

<span>The answer is Music Mnemonics. Mnemonic is originally coming from the Ancient Greek word means “memory”. It is the study and development of systems for improving and assisting the memory. Mnemonic techniques are more specific memory aids. Music Mnemonic is a way we used to remember song lyrics and rhythmic movement.</span>

A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a moment of inertia about her rotation axis o

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

θ₁ = 0.5 revolution

Explanation:

We will use the conservation of angular momentum as follows:

$L_1=L_2\\I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2$

where,

I₁ = initial moment of inertia = 18 kg.m²

I₂ = Final moment of inertia = 3.6 kg.m²

ω₁ = initial angular velocity = ?

ω₂ = Final Angular velocity = $\frac{\theta_2}{t_2} = \frac{2\ rev}{1.2\ s}$ = 1.67 rev/s

Therefore,

$(18\ kg.m^2)\omega_1 = (3.6\ kg.m^2)(1.67\ rev/s)\\\\\omega_1 = \frac{(3.6\ kg.m^2)(1.67\ rev/s)}{(18\ kg.m^2)}\\\\\omega_1 = \frac{\theta_1}{t_1} = 0.333\ rev/s\\\\\theta_1 = (0.333\ rev/s)t_1$

where,

θ₁ = revolutions if she had not tucked at all = ?

t₁ = time = 1.5 s

Therefore,

$\theta_1 = (0.333\ rev/s)(1.5\ s)\\$

<u>θ₁ = 0.5 revolution</u>
