Each year at a college, there is a tradition of having a hoop rolling competition. Alex rolls his 0.250 kg hoop down the course. If the hoop has a radius of 50.0 cm, what is the moment of inertia of Alex's rolling hoop? (2 points)
0.0625 kg ⋅ m2
0.125 kg ⋅ m2
12.5 kg ⋅ m2
625 kg ⋅ m2

the plateau is likely to turn into a desert do to corrosion.

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.
