The question lacks a photo to fully answer correctly

If the fossil has its neck bent backwards towards its back, that is the common way to which dinosaurs died.

If the fossil is scattered a bit from its other linking fossil pieces, than it is most likely that the dinosaur was a meal to a predator.

Fossils that are in array but are divided clearly at a section suggests that land moved. Possibly earthquake or Pangea took place.

A proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 2.5 kV and then moves perpendicularly through a uniform 0.60

Bumek [7]

Answer:

1.2cm

Explanation:

V=(2ev/m)^1/2

=(2*1.6*10^19 x2500/ 1.67*10^27)^1/2

=6.2x10^5m/s

Radius of resulting path= MV/qB

= 1.67*10^-27x6.92*10^6/1.6*10^-16 x0.6

=0.012m

=1.2cm

A 1350 kg uniform boom is supported by a cable. The length of the boom is l. The cable is connected 1/4 the

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Tension= 21,900N

Components of Normal force

Fnx= 17900N

Fny= 22700N

FN= 28900N

Explanation:

Tension in the cable is calculated by:

Etorque= -FBcostheta(1/2L)+FT(3/4L)-FWcostheta(L)= I&=0 static equilibrium

FTorque(3/4L)= FBcostheta(1/2L)+ FWcostheta(L)

Ftorque=(Fcostheta(1/2L)+FWcosL)/(3/4L)

Ftorque= 2/3FBcostheta+ 4/3FWcostheta

Ftorque=2/3(1350)(9.81)cos55° + 2/3(2250)(9.81)cos 55°

Ftorque= 21900N

b) components of Normal force

Efx=FNx-FTcos(90-theta)=0 static equilibrium

Fnx=21900cos(90-55)=17900N

Fy=FNy+ FTsin(90-theta)-FB-FW=0

FNy= -FTsin(90-55)+FB+FW

FNy= -21900sin(35)+(1350+2250)×9.81=22700N

The Normal force

FN=sqrt(17900^2+22700^2)

FN= 28.900N

Is there a "real" simple machine that has an efficiency of 100%?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No, a machine cannot be 100% efficient. This is due to the movement of the moving parts siding against each other and causing friction. This friction is the one that creates heat and causes wear and tear between moving ports f the machine hence making the machine to decrease in efficiency with time

Skater begins to spend with arms held out at shoulder height. The skater wants to match the speed of the spin to the beat of the

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment

I₀/I > 1 ⇒ w > w₀

Explanation:

The angular momentum is conserved if the external torques in the system are zero, this is achieved because the friction with the ice is very small,

L₀ = L_f

I₀ w₀ = I w

w = $\frac{I_o}{I}$ w₀

where we see that the angular velocity changes according to the relation of the angular moments, if we approximate the body as a cylinder with two point charges, weight of the arms

I₀ = I_cylinder + 2 m r²

where r is the distance from the center of mass of the arms to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia of the cylinder does not change, therefore changing the distance of the arms changes the moment of inertia.

If we say that the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment will be

I <I₀

I₀/I > 1 ⇒ w > w₀

therefore the angular velocity (rotations) must increase

in this way the skater can adjust his spin speed to the musician.
