Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 16SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, using complete sentence and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
The Value of Classification. Section 1.3 discussed difficulties that can arise with attempts to define scientific classifications precisely, such as those that occur with the term planet. Make a bullet list of pros and cons (at least three of each) of having classification schemes. Then write a one-paragraph summary starting your opinion of the value (or lack of value) of scientific classification.

- Please answer the question and its subquestions entirely! This is one question with two subquestions. According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it. What is its final kinetic energy 10 seconds after starting from rest? 312 J 237 J 156 J 106 Jarrow_forwardplease provide illustrationa and explanation. thank you!arrow_forwardSee the screenshot uploaded.

- Use the table to answer the question. Answer clearly, and label the answers so i know what answer goes to what part.arrow_forwardUsing Appendix G, complete the following table that describes the characteristics of the Galilean moons of Jupiter, starting from Jupiter and moving outward in distance. Table A This system has often been described as a mini solar system. Why might this be so? If Jupiter were to represent the Sun and the Galilean moons represented planets, which moons could be considered more terrestrial in nature and which ones more like gas/ice giants? Why? (Hint: Use the values in your table to help explain your categorization.)arrow_forwardI need urgent answers on the photo provided here pls. Thank you so much.arrow_forward
- On this situation for science I do not understand. Under the write section is what we're supposed to be including. So down below I will show you what it is asking, and what it wants me to write 2 paragraphs about can you please help me with a deep explanation, because I need help asap because it's due at 11:59 tonight.arrow_forwardPlease explain in full detail as I am trying to understand this concept! thank you! a. Sketch a diagram including Earth, Sun, and Mars, with attention to scale of distance (Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun) showing a faster trajectory from Earth to Mars than the minimal energy trajectory discussed in the lecture. b. Without doing a calculation, how would the arrival velocity of the spacecraft at Mars for the case in (a) compare to the spacecraft arrival in the class example? The lecture example had the spacecraft arriving at Mars with a velocity of 22.49 km/sec. c. The average velocity of Mars in orbit around the Sun is 24.08 km/sec. Comment on the trade-offs between trajectories, arrival velocities and velocity changes (delta V) required to enter an orbit around Mars.arrow_forward1. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of using points near the corners of aphoto for scale computations?2. Would you consider the aerial photo as a map substitute than a topo map? Why?3. Aside from using the topographic map, suggest other means of determining the scale of an aerialphoto. Cite your references if there are any.arrow_forward
