Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Formula for moment of inertia is as follows.

                 M.I = \frac{mass \times (length)^{2}}{3}

Hence, moment of inertia of two rods is as follows.

      M.I of two rods = 2 \times \frac{(\frac{m}{3} \times b^{2})}{3}

                                = \frac{2mb^{2}}{9}    

As third rod have no connection with vertices. So, moment of inertia of a rod along an axis passing through its center is as follows.

           M.I = \frac{mass \times (length)^{2}}{12}

                 = \frac{mb^{2}}{3 \times 12}

                 = \frac{mb^{2}}{36}

Using parallel axis theorem moment of inertia through vertices is as follows.

  \frac{mb^{2}}{36} + mass \times \text{distance between the two axes}

       h^{2} = b^{2} - \frac{b^{2}}{4}

                  = \frac{3b^{2}}{4}

                h = \frac{\sqrt{3b}}{2}

Now, we will calculate the moment of inertia of third rod about vertices is as follows.

        \frac{mb^{2}}{36} + [(\frac{m}{3}) \times 3\frac{b^{2}}{4}]

            = mb^{2}[\frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{4}]

            = 5 \frac{mb^{2}}{18}

Therefore, total moment of inertia is calculated as follows.

            Total M.I = \frac{2mb^{2}}{9} + \frac{5mb^{2}}{18}

                            = \frac{mb^{2}}{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the moment of inertia of the wire triangle about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the triangle and passing through one of its vertices is \frac{mb^{2}}{2}.

Manganese-52 has a half-life of 6 days. How many days would a scientist have to wait for the radioactivity to be 12.5% the start
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Let N = N0 where N0 is the number of atoms originally present.

In 6 days    N = N0 / 2

In 12 days   N = N0 / 4

In 18 days   N = N0 / 8    = .125 N0

So it would take 18 days.

Rearrange the equation = KE<br> -1<br> 2<br> - my? to solve for v. Show your work.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

KE = 1/2 m v^2     multiply both sides by 2

2 (KE) = mv^2       divide both sides by m

2(KE) / m = v^2        sqrt both sides

√ [(2KE)/m ] = v

An 80kg astronaut traveled to the moon, where gravity is one-sixth (116) as
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Wmoon = 131 [N]

Explanation:

We know that the weight of a body is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

Since we are told that the gravitational acceleration of the moon is equal to one-sixth of the acceleration of Earth's gravitation. Then we must multiply the value of Earth's gravitation by one-sixth.

w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *m*g\\w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *80*9.81\\w_{moon}=130.8 [N] = 131 [N]

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.350 kg

spring stretches x = 12 cm = 0.12 m

to find out

period of oscillations

solution

we know here that force

force = k × x   .........1

so force = mg =  0.35 (9.8)  = 3.43 N

3.43 = k × 0.12

k = 28.58 N/m

so period of oscillations is

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }   ................2

put here value

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58} }  

period of oscillations = 0.6953

so period of oscillations is 0.695 second
