Answer:

The act of 'seeing' an object is the result of light from any luminous source e.g. the Sun, a glowing candle or a torch, radiating outwardly from the source until it strikes the object and is reflected to travel to the observer's eyes where if it retains sufficient intensity it will form an image on the retina. i hope this helps

The cones present on the retina are the cells that help you see the colors.....there are mainly three types....red blue and green, cones but they mix to generate different colours !

Develop a hypothesis for why one of the two types of soup should indeed be rolling down faster than the other. This hypothesis s
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Assume two identical cans filled with two types of soup having same mass are rolling down on an inclined plane in same conditions. In terms of inertia different types of soup will indicate different viscosity. The higher viscosity fillings indicates more part of the soup mass is rotating together with the can’s body. This means that for the can with lower viscosity soup has a lower moment of inertia and the can with higher viscosity has higher moment of inertia while the same gravity makes them to roll.

incline angle = θ ; can's mass =  m ; Radius of the can's = R , Angular acceleration for Can 1 = α1 ; Angular acceleration for Can 2 = α2

T1 = Inertia of Can with high viscosity soup

T2 = Inertia of Can with low viscosity soup

M1 rolling moment of Can 1

M2 rolling moment of Can 2

equation is given by

T1*α1 = M1   - (a)

T2*α2 = M2 - (b)

M1 = M2 = m*g*R*sin(θ). (c)

as assumed T1 > T2

from the three equation (a), (b) & (c)

the α2 > α1

Angular acceleration of Can 2 is higher than Can 1. Already stated that Can 1 has more viscous soup as compared to Can 2.

Three small objects are located in the x-y plane as shown in the figure. The objects have the following masses: mA = 1.09 kg, mB
aliina [53]

The moment of inertia of this set of objects with respect to the axis perpendicular to the the x-y plane passing through location x = 4.00 m and y = 3.00 m is 144.97 Kg.m^2.

<h3>What is moment of inertia?</h3>

The moment of inertia is the amount of rotation obtained  by an object when it is in state of motion or rest.

Three small objects are located in the x-y plane as shown in the figure. The objects have the following masses: mA = 1.09 kg, mB = 2.83 kg, mC = 3.39 kg.

The coordinates  of Ball A :(2,1) Ball B :(8,2) and Ball C: (5,8) and axis is at (4,3)

Here, for the moment of inertia of each ball

For ball A

IA = 1.09 x ((4 - 2)^2 + (3-1)^2)

IA = 8.72 Kg.m^2

for the ball B

IB = 2.83 * ((4 - 8)^2 + (3 - 2)^2)

IB = 48.11 Kg.m^2

for the ball C

IC = 3.39 * ((4 - 5)^2 + (3 - 8)^2)

IC = 88.14 Kg.m^2

Total moment of inertia = 8.72 + 48.11 +  88.14

Total moment of inertia = 144.97 Kg.m^2

Thus, the moment of inertia of this set of objects with respect to the axis perpendicular to the the x-y plane passing through location x = 4.00 m and y = 3.00 m is 144.97 Kg.m^2.
