Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2

Answer:

0.5 g

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a certain amount of that isotope to halve.

In this case, we have an isotope of Americium-241, which has a half-life of

$\tau = 432 y$

This means that after 1 half-life (432 years), there will be an amount of americium equal to half its initial amount.

In this problem, the initial amount of americium is

$m_0 = 1 g$

Therefore, after 432 years (1 half-life), the amount of americium left will be half:

$m(432y) = \frac{m_0}{2}=0.5 g$

A 1.31 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring of force constant 2.70 N/cm and is started oscillating by pulling it 6.20 cm

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The change in energy is the difference between the final energy and the initial energy.

ΔE (energy change) = Ef (final energy) - Ei (initial energy)

$\Delta E=\frac{1}{2}kA_f^2 -\frac{1}{2}kA_i^2\\\\k=force\ constant=2.7\ N/cm=270\ N/m, A_f=final\ dispalacment= 3.7\ cm=0.037\ m,\\ A_i=initial \ displacement = 6.2\ cm=0.062\ m\\\\Hence:\\\\\Delta E=\frac{1}{2}(270)(0.037)^2 -\frac{1}{2}(270)(0.062)^2\\\\\Delta E=-0.334 \ J$

The negative sign shows that energy is lost to the environment. Hence 0.334 J is lost to the environment.

b) According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

The oscillating object loses energy due to wind resistance, friction between the spring and the object. Given that the air is frictionless, hence the energy loss is due to friction which is converted to heat.
