Rest and motion are relative terms why?​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

Derive the formula for the moment of inertia of a uniform, flat, rectangular plate of dimensions l and w, about an axis through
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

A uniform thin rod with an axis through the center

Consider a uniform (density and shape) thin rod of mass M and length L as shown in (Figure). We want a thin rod so that we can assume the cross-sectional area of the rod is small and the rod can be thought of as a string of masses along a one-dimensional straight line. In this example, the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the rod and passes through the midpoint for simplicity. Our task is to calculate the moment of inertia about this axis. We orient the axes so that the z-axis is the axis of rotation and the x-axis passes through the length of the rod, as shown in the figure. This is a convenient choice because we can then integrate along the x-axis.

We define dm to be a small element of mass making up the rod. The moment of inertia integral is an integral over the mass distribution. However, we know how to integrate over space, not over mass. We therefore need to find a way to relate mass to spatial variables. We do this using the linear mass density of the object, which is the mass per unit length. Since the mass density of this object is uniform, we can write

λ = m/l (orm) = λl

If we take the differential of each side of this equation, we find

d m = d ( λ l ) = λ ( d l )

since  

λ

is constant. We chose to orient the rod along the x-axis for convenience—this is where that choice becomes very helpful. Note that a piece of the rod dl lies completely along the x-axis and has a length dx; in fact,  

d l = d x

in this situation. We can therefore write  

d m = λ ( d x )

, giving us an integration variable that we know how to deal with. The distance of each piece of mass dm from the axis is given by the variable x, as shown in the figure. Putting this all together, we obtain

I=∫r2dm=∫x2dm=∫x2λdx.

The last step is to be careful about our limits of integration. The rod extends from x=−L/2x=−L/2 to x=L/2x=L/2, since the axis is in the middle of the rod at x=0x=0. This gives us

I=L/2∫−L/2x2λdx=λx33|L/2−L/2=λ(13)[(L2)3−(−L2)3]=λ(13)L38(2)=ML(13)L38(2)=112ML2.

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

Question 1 of 25
finlep [7]

Answer:

<em>2.753*10^-11N</em>

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the masses is expressed as;

F = GMm/d²

M and m are the distances

d is the distance between the masses

Given

M = 3.71 x 10 kg

m = 1.88 x 10^4 kg

d = 1300m

G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm²/kg

Substitute into the formula

F = 6.67 x 10-11* (3.71 x 10)*(1.88 x 10^4)/1300²

F = 46.52*10^(-6)/1.69 * 10^6

F = 27.53 * 10^{-6-6}

F = 27.53*10^{-12}

F = 2.753*10^-11

<em>Hence the gravitational force between the asteroid is 2.753*10^-11N</em>

<em></em>
