A cylinder with moment of inertia I1 rotates with angular speed ω0 about a frictionless vertical axle. A second cylinder, with m

oment of inertia I , initially not rotating, drops onto the first cylinder. Since the surfaces are rough, the two eventually reach the same angular speed ωf.
a. Calculate ωf. (Use I1 for I1, I2 for I2, and omega_i for ωi, as necessary.)

b. Show that the kinetic energy of the system decreases in this interaction by calculating the ratio of the final to initial rotational energy. Express your answer in terms of ωi.

Answer:

Part(a): The final angular velocity is \omega_{f} = \dfrac{I_{1}\omega_{i}}{(I_{1} + I_{2})}

Part(b): The ratio of the rotational energies is \dfrac{k_{f}}{k_{i}}& = \dfrac{I_{1}}{(I_{1} + I_{2})},showing the the energy of th system will decrease.

Explanation:

Part(a):

If 'I' be the moment of inertia of an object and '\omega' be its angular velocity then the angular momentum 'L' of the object can  be written as

L = I \omega

If 'I_{1}' and 'I_{2}' be the moment of inertia of the two cylinders and '\omega_{1}' and '\omega_{2}' be the initial angular velocity of the cylinders and '\omega_{1}{'}' and '\omega_{2}^'}' be their respective final angular velocity, then from conservation of angular momentum,

I_{1} \omega_{1} + I_{2} \omega_{2} = I_{1} \omega_{1}^{'} + I_{2} \omega_{2}^{'}

Given, \omega_{1} = \omega_{i},~\omega_{2} = 0,~\omega_{1}^{'} = \omega_{2}^{'} = \omega_{f}. From the above expression

&& I_{1} \omega_{i} = (I_{1} + I_{2}) \omega_{f}\\&or,& \omega_{f} = \dfrac{I_{1}\omega_{i}}{(I_{1} + I_{2})}

Part(b):

Initial kinetic energy  

K_{i} = \dfrac{1}{2} I_{1} \omega_{i}^{2}

and Final kinetic energy

K_{f} = \dfrac{1}{2}(I_{1} + I_{2}) \omega_{f}^{2}

Substituting the value of \omega_{f},

&& K_{f} = \dfrac{1}{2}(I_{1} + I_{2})\dfrac{I_{1}^{2}\omega_{i}^{2}}{(I_{1} + I_{2})^{2}} = \dfrac{1}{(I_{1} + I_{2})} \dfrac{1}{2}I_{1}\omega_{i}^{2} = \dfrac{1}{(I_{1} + I_{2})} K_{i}\\&\dfrac{k_{f}}{k_{i}}& = \dfrac{I_{1}}{(I_{1} + I_{2})}

The above expression shows that the ebergy of the system will decrease.

Find the mass of a child who runs at a speed of 4 m/s to get a pizza with extra cheese. His momentum is 120 kg•m/s.
tamaranim1 [39]
Wow! Very simple. Use the equation for momentum which is p=mv. You know your momentum and velocity, so do 120=m(4), now solve for m, which is 30. The mass of the child is 30 kg

What force is necessary to pull a 10 kg sled across a horizontal surface at a constant velocity if the coefficient of kinetic fr
Igoryamba

Answer:

Any force greater than 24.5 N

Explanation:

To find the frictional force is the 1st step. this can be found by multiplying the coefficient of friction and the normal force. normal force can be found by multiplying gravity (we will say 9.8 m/s/s) and the mass which is 10. You then multiply the result by the coefficient of friction which is 0.25 and it leads us to an answer to 24.5 N. This means that if you pull with exactly 24.5 N, the sled wouldnt move. So you need a force greater than 24.5 N and we have our answer.

I hope I helped correct me if im wrong

Scientists can find the absolute age of a rock by using
yaroslaw [1]

Explanation:

Carbon-14 is normally used to date living organisms (all living things we know today contain mostly carbon).   It can be used for samples up to about 60000 years old.  Carbon-12 is the non-radioactive form that we encounter daily.  Relative dating determines dates relative to each other, such as ordering of period or events.

Uranium 235 dating can determine date samples a million years old and up, so is more suited for rocks.
