Answer:

rotation

Explanation:

The spinning of the Earth on its axis from west to east is called rotation. Effects of the Earth’s rotation are: The rotation of the Earth causes the day and the night. … Due to rotation, winds and the ocean currents deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. doggo knows ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

During the spin cycle of your clothes washer, the tub rotates at a steady angular velocity of 33.5 rad/s. Find the angular displ
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: angular displacement in rad = 3038.45 rad

angular displacement in rev = 483.589 rev

Explanation: mathematically

Angular velocity = angular displacement / time taken.

Angular velocity = 33.5 rad/s, time taken = 90.7s

33.5 = angular displacement /90.7

Angular displacement = 33.5 * 90.7 = 3038.45 rad

But 1 rev =2π

Hence 3038.45 rad to rev is

3038.45/2π = 483.599 rev

A penny is dropped from the top of a tower. It hits the ground below after 2.5 s. How tall was the tower?
pychu [463]

Answer:

C. 30.6m

Explanation:

To find the height of the tower, we are to use Newtons law of motion to solve this problem. Since the penny is falling from the top of the tower, it is acted by the acceleration due to gravity. The formula to be used is:

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where H is the height of the tower, t is the time taken to hit the ground, u is the initial velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given that, t = 2.5 s, g =9.8 m/s², u = 0 m/s (at the top of tower)

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\H=0(2.5)+ \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.5)^2\\\\H=30.6\ m

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration.
