A person struggles very hard to lift a large boulder. He puts in so much effort, he starts to sweat, his heart rate increases, a

nd he gets really tired. All of his effort is for nothing, the boulder does not move at all. In this situation, has work been done? Explain!

No, he did not perform any work. Work is when you’re using energy which results in a force. Even though he was tired and sweaty, he did not move the boulder. So therefore he did not perform any work.

Circumference of a circle given the radius or diameter? explain why or why not
djyliett [7]

Circumference of a circle can be calculated if the radius or the diameter is given.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Circumference or the perimeter of a circle can be calculated if the radius or the diameter of the circle is given.
  • This is calculated by the formula -  2 * pi * r (if radius is given) and  pi * d (if diameter is given) where pi = 3.14, r = radius and d = diameter
  • This calculation is based on the fact that the circumference is three and a little more times that of the radius. Since the diameter is double that of the radius, when the diameter is given formula becomes pi*d.

An old millstone, used for grinding grain in a gristmill, is a solid cylindrical wheel that can rotate about its central axle wi
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The answer is I=70,513kgm^2

Explanation:

Here we will use the rotational mechanics equation T=Ia, where T is the Torque, I is the Moment of Inertia and a is the angular acceleration.

When we speak about Torque it´s basically a Tangencial Force applied over a cylindrical or circular edge. It causes a rotation. In this case, we will have that T=Ft*r, where Ft is the Tangencial Forge and r is the radius

Now we will find the Moment of Inertia this way:

Ft*r=I*a -> (Ft*r)/(a) = I

Replacing we get that I is:

I=(200N*0,33m)/(0,936rad/s^2)

Then I=70,513kgm^2

In case you need to find extra information, keep in mind the Moment of Inertia for a solid cylindrical wheel is:  

I=(1/2)*(m*r^2)
