What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter

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

Which takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top?

Elenna [48]

The option that takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top is that A. thermal energy is transferred.
As the pot gets warmer and warmer, the heat flows everywhere inside the pot, ultimately reaching the top, and heating the water at the top as well. There is no chemical energy here, and molecules don't gain thermal energy, it is just transferred to the top of the pot.

How many lenses with different focal lengths can be obtained by combining two surfaces whose radii of curvature are 4.00 cm and

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The lenses with different focal length are four.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of curvature R₁= 4

Radius of curvature R₂ = 8

We know ,

Refractive index of glass = 1.6

When, R₁= 4, R₂ = 8

We need to calculate the focal length of the lens

Using formula of focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=4.44\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = 8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}+\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=-13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= 4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{3}{40}$

$f=13.33\ cm$

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}-\dfrac{1}{8})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{9}{40}$

$f=-4.44\ cm$

Hence, The lenses with different focal length are four.

A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st

wel

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 = 29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V= T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 = 29.05 N

Why is centrifugal force is a fake force?<br>

mash [69]

Answer:

We say fictitious because the actual source of the centrifugal acceleration is somewhat indirect and the experience one has results from the unbalanced forces acting on the reference frame, not a force. Note, it is an acceleration not a force. For instance, imagine yourself on a swing.
