Explanation:

The moment of inertia of each disk is:

Idisk = 1/2 MR²

Using parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of each rod is:

Irod = 1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²

The total moment of inertia is:

I = 2Idisk + 5Irod

I = 2 (1/2 MR²) + 5 [1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²]

I = MR² + 5/2 mr² + 5m (R − r)²

Plugging in values:

I = (125 g) (5 cm)² + 5/2 (250 g) (1 cm)² + 5 (250 g) (5 cm − 1 cm)²

I = 23,750 g cm²

A 0.80 kg basketball traveling upward at 5.0 m/s impacts an 8.0 10 kg tennis ball traveling downward at 5.0 m/s. The basketball’
vlabodo [156]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. This can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, and by conservation it will be understood that the amount of the initial momentum is equal to the amount of the final momentum. By the law of conservation of momentum,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_1 = Mass of Basketball

m_2 = Mass of Tennis ball

u_1 = Initial velocity of Basketball

u_2 = Initial Velocity of Tennis ball

v_1 = Final velocity of Basketball

v_2 = Final velocity of the tennis ball

Replacing,

(0.8)(0.5)+(0.1)(-5.0)=(0.8)(0.3)+(0.1)v_2

Solving for the final velocity of the tennis ball

v_2 = 11m/s^2

Therefore the velocity of the tennis ball after collision is 11 m/s

As shown in the diagram below, a rope attached to a 500.-kilogram crate is used to exert a force of 45 newtons at an angle of 65
kaheart [24]

Answer:

19.01 N

Explanation:

F = Force being applied to the crate = 45 N

\theta = Angle at which the force is being applied = 65^{\circ}

Horizontal component of force is given by

F_x=F\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_x=45\times \cos65^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow F_x=19.01\ \text{N}

The horizontal component of the force acting on the crate is 19.01 N.
