Answer:

The turntable's angular speed after the event is 28.687 revolutions per minute.

Explanation:

The system formed by the turntable and the two block are not under the effect of any external force, so we can apply the Principle of Conservation of Angular Momentum, which states that:

I_{T}\cdot \omega_{o} = (2\cdot r^{2}\cdot m +I_{T})\cdot \omega_{f} (1)

Where:

I_{T} - Moment of inertia of the turntable, in kilogram-square meters.

r - Distance of the block regarding the center of the turntable, in meters.

m - Mass of the object, in kilograms.

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed of the turntable, in radians per second.

\omega_{f} - Final angular speed of the turntable-objects system, in radians per second.

In addition, the momentum of inertia of the turntable is determined by following formula:

I_{T} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot r^{2} (2)

Where M is the mass of the turntable, in kilograms.

If we know that \omega_{o} \approx 7.330\,\frac{rad}{s}, M = 1.5\,kg, m = 0.54\,kg and r = 0.1\,m, then the angular speed of the turntable after the event is:

I_{T} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot r^{2}

I_{T} = 7.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg\cdot m^{2}

I_{T}\cdot \omega_{o} = (2\cdot r^{2}\cdot m +I_{T})\cdot \omega_{f}

\omega_{f} = \frac{I_{T}\cdot \omega_{o}}{2\cdot r^{2}\cdot m +I_{T}}

\omega_{T} = 3.004\,\frac{rad}{s} (28.687\,\frac{rev}{min})

The turntable's angular speed after the event is 28.687 revolutions per minute.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Stefan's formula

E = AσT⁴

When T = 300

I₁ = Aσ x 300⁴

When T = 400K

I₂ = Aσ x 400⁴

I₂ / I₁ = 400⁴ / 300⁴

= 256 / 81

= 3.16

I₂ = 3.16 I₁ .

All waves must ____ have to travel through
babunello [35]
<h2>All waves must ____ have to travel through </h2>

Explanation:

Wave

It is the periodic disturbance in a medium.

Types of Wave

There are two types of wave in general depending upon their propagation through a substance.

• Mechanical  

• Electromagnetic  

Mechanical Wave

It is the kind of wave which needs medium to travel. For example: Sound Wave  

That means sound can be heard only whenever there is presence of certain substance like water, glass, air etc .It can’t be heard in vacuum no matter how loud is the sound.

Electromagnetic Wave

Is that which can travel through medium as well as through vacuum. For example: Light  

But unlike sound, light can be seen through a substance or in vacuum. That is the reason it is referred as electromagnetic wave.

Mariulka [41]
Earthquake S - Waves are examples of transverse waves. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. Other good examples of transverse waves are an oscillating string and light waves. A wave is a kind of disturbance that or an oscillation that travels through space.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon.

Explanation:

Since the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Moon is less than the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Earth, less energy is required to travel from the Moon to the Earth, than is required to travel from the Earth to the Moon. This is because the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
