Four identical particles (mass of each = 0.24 kg) are placed at the vertices of a rectangle (2.0 m × 3.0 m) and held in those positions by four light rods which form the sides of the rectangle. What is the moment of inertia of this rigid body about an axis that passes through the center of mass of the body and is parallel to the shorter sides of the rectangle?
a. 2.4 kg/m2 b. 2.2 kg/m2 c. 1.9 kg/m2 d. 2.7 kg/m2 e. 8.6 kg/m2
Some scientists speculate that super-Earths and water worlds might be habitable at greater distances from their stars than Earth-size planets. Why?
A) Their larger sizes might allow them to retain hydrogen atmospheres. B) Their larger sizes mean they might have more of the ingredients needed for life. C) For the water worlds, at least, they are certain to have oceans no matter how far they are from a star. D) These planets may retain more internal heat than Earth, which might drive greater geological activity.
