The ratio of the speed of the lighter bullet to the speed of the heavier will be four times the heavier bullet.

Both can do same amount of work.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to the motion of the body.

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

where m is mass and v is velocity of the object.

Since both objects have the same kinetic energy but one bullet has twice the mass of the other, the ratio of the speed of the lighter bullet to the speed of the heavier will be four times the heavier bullet.

The kinetic energy of both bullets is the same. Hence, they can do equal amount of work.

An object is formed by attaching a uniform, thin rod with a mass of mr = 6.85 kg and length L = 5.76 m to a uniform sphere with

Ket [755]

Answer:

Part a)

$I = 1879.7 kg m^2$

Part b)

$\alpha = 0.70 rad/s^2$

Part c)

$I = 153.8 kg m^2$

Part 4)

angular acceleration will be ZERO

Part 5)

$I = 345.6 kg m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

Moment of inertia of the system about left end of the rod is given as

$I = \frac{m_r L^2}{3} + (\frac{2}{5} m_s R^2 + m_s(R + L)^2)$

So we have

$I = \frac{m_r(4R)^2}{3} + (\frac{2}{5}(5m_r) R^2 + (5m_r)(R + 4R)^2)$

$I = \frac{16}{3}m_r R^2 + (2m_r R^2 + 125 m_rR^2)$

$I = (\frac{16}{3} + 127)m_r R^2$

$I = (\frac{16}{3} + 127)(6.85)(1.44)^2$

$I = 1879.7 kg m^2$

Part b)

If force is applied to the mid point of the rod

so the torque on the rod is given as

$\tau = F\frac{L}{2}$

$\tau = 460(2R)$

$\tau = 460 \times 2 \times 1.44$

$\tau = 1324.8 Nm$

now angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{1324.8}{1879.7}$

$\alpha = 0.70 rad/s^2$

Part c)

position of center of mass of rod and sphere is given from the center of the sphere as

$x = \frac{m_r}{m_r + m_s}(\frac{L}{2} + R)$

$x = \frac{m_r}{6 m_r}(3R) = \frac{R}{2}$

so moment of inertia about this position is given as

$I = \frac{m_r L^2}{12} + m_r(\frac{L}{2} + \frac{R}{2})^2 + (\frac{2}{5} m_s R^2 + m_s(\frac{R}{2})^2)$

so we have

$I = \frac{m_r (16R^2)}{12} + m_r(\frac{5R}{2})^2 + \frac{2}{5}(5m_r)R^2 + (5m_r)(\frac{R^2}{4})$

$I = m_r R^2(\frac{16}{12} + \frac{25}{4} + 2 + \frac{5}{4})$

$I = 6.85(1.44)^2\times 10.83$

$I = 153.8 kg m^2$

Part 4)

If force is applied parallel to the length of rod

then we have

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

$\tau = 0$

so angular acceleration will be ZERO

Part 5)

moment of inertia about right edge of the sphere is given as

$I = \frac{m_r L^2}{12} + m_r(\frac{L}{2} + 2R)^2 + (\frac{2}{5} m_s R^2 + m_s(R)^2)$

so we have

$I = \frac{m_r (16R^2)}{12} + m_r(4R)^2 + \frac{2}{5}(5m_r)R^2 + (5m_r)(R^2)$

$I = m_r R^2(\frac{16}{12} + 16 + 2 + 5)$

$I = 6.85(1.44)^2\times 24.33$

$I = 345.6 kg m^2$

Which of the following best describes what we mean by the universe?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

D. The sum total of all matter and energy

Explanation:

The universe is defined as a closed system that contains all forms of energy and matter. Therefore, includes the so-called dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the universe, since ordinary matter would only represent just over 5% of the total.

Why is velocity most important in space launch?

Debora [2.8K]

Escape velocity is the velocity an object needs to escape the gravitational influence of a body if it is in free fall, i.e. no force other than gravity acts on it. Your rocket is not in free fall since it is using its thruster to maintain a constant velocity so the notion of "escape velocity" does not apply to it.
