What, it isn’t?!

Sorry, I had to.

As far as I have read and understood, the Sumerians and later the Babylonians both had astronomical calendars that already differentiated planets and stars. Earth was not the center to them, the Sun likely was. That was around 2,200 - 1,600 BC.

After that, Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos (310 - 230 BC) was the first (recorded) to have believed the solar system was organized around the Sun, rather than the Earth. His heliocentric model was unpopular during Aristarchus’ lifetime, although it would inspire astronomers centuries later, such as Copernicus and Galileo.

Now, there are numerous archeological findings (cave paintings) and studies, that all suggest an understanding of complex astronomy in prehistoric times dating back as far as 40,000 years. This also explains how early, prehistoric migrants may have navigated the seas.

In this problem, you will practice applying this formula to several situations involving angular acceleration. In all of these s

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Part a)

$\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}$

Part b)

$\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}$

Explanation:

As we know that the see saw bar is massless so here torque due to two masses is given as

$\tau = I\alpha$

here we will have

$\tau = (m_1g - m_2g)(\frac{L}{2})$

now we will have inertia of two masses given as

$I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2$

now we have

$I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4}$

now the angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

so we have

$\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}$

Part b)

Now if the rod is not massles then we will have total inertia given as

$I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2 + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}$

so we will have

$I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4} + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}$

now the acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}$

Explain what causes acid rain to form and its negative effects on living and nonliving things.

OLga [1]

What causes it to form: <span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Human activities, power plants, and exhaust from vehicles all are causes.</span>
Affects on living things-
Acid rain can kill trees
It can affect plant growth patterns
Toxins can kill animals
Nonliving things-
It can decay building materials and paints
it breaks down rocks
