A rod of length L and mass M has a nonuniform mass distribution. The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ=cx2, where x is

measured from the center of the rod and c is a constant.A. What are the units of c?Mastering physics says the answer is: kg/m^3 but i don't understand where they got this answer.B. Find the expression for c.Mastering physics says the answer is 12M/L^3 --> No clue where they got this answer!C. Find the expression for the moment of inertia of the rod for rotation about an axis through the center.

Answer:

Explanation:

λ=c x²

c = λ / x²

λ is mass / length

so its dimensional formula is ML⁻¹

x is length so its dimensional formula is L

c = λ / x²

= ML⁻¹ / L²

= ML⁻³

B )

We shall find out the mass of the rod with the help of given expression of mass per unit length and equate it with given mass that is M

The mass in the rod is symmetrically distributed on both side of middle point.

we consider a small strip of rod of length dx at x distance away from middle point

its mass dm = λdx = cx² dx

By integrating it from -L to +L we can calculate mass of whole rod , that is

M = ∫cx² dx

= [c x³ / 3] from -L/2 to +L/2

= c/3 [ L³/8 + L³/8]

M = c L³/12

c = 12 M L⁻³

C ) Moment of inertia of rod

∫dmx²

= ∫λdxx²

= ∫cx²dxx²

= ∫cx⁴dx

= c x⁵ / 5 from - L/2 to L/2

= c / 5 ( L⁵/ 32 +L⁵/ 32)

= (2c / 160)L⁵

= (c / 80) L⁵

= (12 M L⁻³/80)L⁵

= 3/20 ML²

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of
steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0= Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

\theta= Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}

Using the Malus Law we have,

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}

cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2

\theta = 75.52\°

Angle with respect to maximum is 90-75.52 = 14.48\°

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.

K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}

K.E. = Kinetic energy

T = temperature

R= gas constant

Explain a charged by neutral body negatively by induction
Tpy6a [65]
If a negatively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a positive charge. And if a positively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a negative charge.
