Auniform square crate is released from rest with corner d directly above a and it rotates about a until its corner b impacts the floor and then it rotates about b. the floor is rough enough to prevent slipping and the corner at b does not rebound on impact. determine, (a) as a function of g and `, the angular velocity of the crate ! e2 just before impact. (b) as a function of ! e2, the angular velocity of the crate immediately after impact ! e3. (c) the fraction of energy lost during the impact. (d) the maximum achieved after the impact. during the impact, assume that the weight force is non-impulsive.

(c) the fraction of energy lost during the impact

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
