Answer:

Explanation:

An open system is defined as the a system in which energy or mass can be gained or loss from the environment.

Here in this case a wood burning fireplace represents an open system as it is directly taking oxygen from the atmosphere.

During this direct exchange of gases heat is produced hence mass of wood is lost and oxygen is gained from the atmosphere.

So as fire is required from atmosphere to burn the wood, it best explains why a wood burning represent an open system.

What is the momentum of an object that is traveling at 3 m/s and has a mass of 5 kg?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Momentum of the object = 15 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass, m = 5 kg

speed, v = 3 m/s

momentum, p = ?

We know that the momentum is given by the equation:

p = mv

= 5 kg x 3 m/s

= 15 kg.m/s

A 0.5 m diameter wagon wheel consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7 kg and six spokes, each with a mass of 1.2 kg. 1.2 kg 7 k

Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg

Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg

Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m

Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m

Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.

We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :

$I_1=m_1r^2$

$I_1=7\times (0.25)^2=0.437\ kgm^2$

The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2l^2}{3}$

l = r

$I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{3}$

$I_2=\dfrac{1.2\times (0.25)^2}{3}=0.025\ kgm^2$

For 6 spokes, $I_2=0.025\times 6=0.15\ kgm^2$

So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :

$I=I_1+I_2$

$I=0.437+0.15=0.587\ kgm^2$

So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is $0.587\ kgm^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
