skater spins over a point at a speed of 3.0 rotations per second then the momentum of inertia is 0.60 kg.M2, what is its angular
laiz [17]

Answer:

L=11.3\ kg-m^2/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular speed of a skater, \omega=3\ rot/s=18.84\ rad/s

The moment of inertia of the skater, I = 0.6 kg-m²

We need to find the angular momentum of the skater. The formula for the angular momentum of the skater is given by :

L=I\omega

Substitute all the values,

L=0.6\times 18.84\\\\L=11.3\ kg-m^2/s

So, its angular momentum is equal to 11.3\ kg-m^2/s.

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m

A spring has a equilibrium length of 10.0 cm. When a force of 40.0 N is applied to the spring, the spring has a length of 14.0 c
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm

new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm

applied force on the spring, F = 40 N

extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm

From Hook's law

Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F ∝ e

F = ke

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F / e

k = 40 / 0.04

k = 1000 N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t
Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

\Delta P =  \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}

where:

\Delta P is the pressure difference between the two ends

\mu is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

Q=Av is the volumetric flow rate, with A=\pi r^2 being the section of the tube and v the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

\mu=0.001 Pa/s is the dynamic water viscosity at 20^{\circ}

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

\Delta P = 3200 Pa

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.

How are meteors and meteorites different?
konstantin123 [22]

A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
