Answer:

<u><em>Sample Response</em></u>: Stu's answer was incorrect. According to Ohm's law, R = V/I. This is the equation that should be used to obtain the correct answer, which is 8 ohms.

Answer:

The answer is not correct.

Explanation:

Stu's answer is not correct, the equation to use is known as the law of ohm. In which the voltage is defined as the product of the current by the resistance, then we will see this equation.

V = I*R\\where:\\I = current [amp]\\R = resistance [ohm]\\V = voltage [volts]\\

In order to find resistance, this term is found multiplying the current on the right side of the equation, therefore the current will be divided on the left side of the equation.

R=\frac{V}{I} \\replacing:\\R=\frac{4}{0.5} \\R=8[ohms]

That is the reason that the result found by Stu is not correct.

A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.080
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Speed of 0.08 kg mass when it will reach to the bottom position is 1.94 m/s

Explanation:

When rod is released from rest then due to unbalanced torque about the hinge the system will rotate

Now moment of inertia of the system is given as

I = \frac{ML^2}{12} + \frac{m_1L^2}{4} + \frac{m_2L^2}{4}

now we have

M = 0.120 kg

m_1 = 0.02 kg

m_3 = 0.08 kg

now we have

I = \frac{0.120(0.90)^2}{12} + \frac{0.02(0.90)^2}{4} + \frac{0.08(0.90)^2}{4}

so we have

I = 8.1 \times 10^[-3} + 4.05 \times 10^[-3} + 0.0162

I = 0.02835

now by energy conservation we can say work done by gravity must be equal to change in kinetic energy

so we have

\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = m_1g \frac{L}{2} - m_2 g\frac{L}{2}

\frac{1}{2}(0.02835)\omega^2 = (0.08 - 0.02)(9.81)(0.45)

\omega = 4.32 rad/s

Now speed of 0.08 kg mass when it reaches to bottom point is given as

v = \omega \frac{L}{2}

v = 4.32 (0.45)

v = 1.94 m/s
