Answer:

c. The law of conservation of energy

Explanation:

The famous "law of conservation of Energy" states that energy inside an isolated system remains conserved. It can not be created and can't be destroyed as well. The energy can only be moved or transformed into another form.

This can be proved using "Noether's Theorem". Classically, only energy was considered conserved but Special Relativity proved that even mass is conserved as it showed the relation between mass and energy.

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5m/s2 for 4s. After t

Ber [7]

Answer:

+7.0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take rightward as positive direction.

So in this problem we have:

a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)

t = 4 s time interval

v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)

We can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Where u is the initial velocity

We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

$u = v - at = (-3.0 m/s) - (-2.5 m/s^2)(4 s)=+7.0 m/s$

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.

As an intern with an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel, for rotation about an ax

AysviL [449]

Answer:

$I=2.766\ kg.m^2$

Explanation:

We have:

diameter of the wheel, $d=0.88\ m$

weight of the wheel, $w_w=280\ N$

mass of hanging object to the wheel, $m_o=6.32\ kg$

speed of the hanging mass after the descend, $v_o=4\ m.s^{-1}$

height of descend, $h=2.5\ m$

(a)

moment of inertia of wheel about its central axis:

$I=\frac{1}{2} m.r^2$

$I=\frac{1}{2} \frac{w_w}{g}.r^2$

$I=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{280}{9.8}\times 0.44^2$

$I=2.766\ kg.m^2$

What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300,000 km? (the speed of light is 300,000 km/s.)?

expeople1 [14]

Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000 km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
= 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz
