Max (15 kg) and maya (12 kg) are riding on a merry-go-round that rotates at a constant speed. max is sitting on the edge of the

merry-go-round, 2.4 m from the center, and maya is 1.2 m from the center. considering max and maya to be one system of masses, what is their moment of inertia measured with respect to the center of the merry-go-round?

Answer:

103.68 NM

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> identify the given parameters

Max mass = 15kg

maya mass = 12kg

max distance from the center (a)= 2.4m

maya distance from the center (b) = 1.2m

Moment of inertia = M*r²

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the moment of inertia (I) of max

I = M*r²

I = 15*(2.4)² = 86.4NM

<u>Step 3:</u> calculate moment of inertia of Maya

I = M*r²

I = 12*(1.2)² = 17.28NM

<u>Step 4: </u>find the total moment of inertia

Total moment of inertia = max moment of inertia + Maya moment of inertia

Total moment of inertia = 86.4 NM + 17.28NM

Total moment of inertia = 103.68 NM

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.
kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance

The dark bands on the wall are from ______________ interference. and i will give brainlyest
Fittoniya [83]
Light can be seen as an electromagnetic wave.
What happens when two waves, with the same frequency, superpose is called interference.

If at a certain point two waves arrive both with a crest, we have constructive interference and the amplitudes sum up, reaching the maximum value, resulting in bright spots.

If at a certain point one of the waves arrives with a crest and the other wave arrives with a trough, we have destructive interference, and the two amplitudes cancel out, resulting in dark spots.

Therefore, t<span>he dark bands on the wall are from destructive interference.</span>

PLS HELP. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. PLS THIS IS WORTH 35 POINTS ON MY TEST
Nata [24]

Answer:

18m/s^2

Explanation:

Vf = Vi + at

t = distance/ average velocity

(120 + 0)/2 = 60 (average velocity)

400m/60m/s = 20/3 s

insert into first equation:

120 = 0 + a(20/3)

360 = 20a

18 = a

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
