Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The two dimensions have the following significant numbers

4.56- 3 significant numbers

5.668- 4 significant figures

When responding, we give area as per the most precise number given hence the smallest (most precise) significant figures in these two numbers is 3. Therefore, the area will be given to 3 significant figures ie

4.56*5.668=25.84608 square meters

Area=25.8 square meters

The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile such as a bullet. The projectile of mass m is fired

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Relation between initial speed of bullet and height h is given as

$v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}$

Explanation:

As we know that system of block and bullet swings up to height h after collision

So we have

$(m + M)gh = \frac{1}{2}(m + M)v_1^2$

so we have

$v_1 = \sqrt{2gh}$

so speed of the block + bullet just after the impact is given by above equation

Now we also know that there is no force on the system of bullet + block in the direction of motion

So we can use momentum conservation

$mv = (m + M)v_1$

now we have

$v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}$

Consider two uniform solid spheres where both have the same diameter, but one has twice the mass of the other. how much larger i

egoroff_w [7]

<span>The moment of inertia of the large sphere will be twice that of the smaller sphere.
The formula for the moment of inertia for a solid sphere is:
I = (2/5)mr^2
where
I = moment of inertia
m = mass
r = radius

Since both spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same radius, so the only change is their mass. And the moment of inertia is directly proportional to their mass as shown by the above formula. So the sphere with twice the mass will have twice the moment of inertia, or 2 times.</span>

Consider the following three objects, each of the same mass and radius: (1) a solid sphere (2) a solid disk (3) a hoop All three

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is

a) 1, 2, 3

Explanation:

In rolling down an inclined plane, the potential energy is Transferred to both linear and rotational kinetic energy thus

PE = KE or mgh = 1/2×m×v² + 1/2×I×ω²

The transformation equation fom potential to kinetic energy is =

m×g×h = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} mr^{2} )(\frac{v}{r}) ^{2}$

$v_{Sphere}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{10}{7} gh}$

$v_{Hoop}$ = $\sqrt{gh}$

$v_{Disc}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} gh}$

Therefore the order is with increasing rotational kinetic energy hence

the first is the sphere 1 followed by the disc 2 then the hoop 3

the correct order is a, 1, 2, 3

about how much more energy is released in a 6.5 richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.
