A record is dropped vertically onto a freely rotating (undriven) turntable. Frictional forces act to bring the record and turnta

ble to a common angular speed. If the rotational inertia of the record is 0.54 times that of the turntable, what percentage of the initial kinetic energy is lost?

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

Assuming no external torques present during the collision between the record and the turntable, total angular momentum must be conserved.

For a rotating body with some angular velocity and moment of inertia, the angular momentum can be expressed as follows;

L = I* ω

So, as initial angular momentum and final angular momentum must be the same, we have:

Li = Lf

⇒ I₁ * ω₁ = I₂ * ω₂ (1)

where I₁ is the rotational inertia of the turntable, and I₂, is the combined rotational inertia of the turntable and the record:

I₂ = I₁ + 0.54 I₁ = 1.54 I₁

We can solve (1) for the new common angular speed, as follows:

ω₂ = ω₁ / 1.54 (2)

The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by definition for the following equation:

Kroti = 1/2 * I₁ * ω₁² (3)

The final rotational kinetic  energy takes into account the new rotational inertia and the common final angular speed:

Krotf = 1/2* I₂ * ω₂² = 1/2* 1.54 I₁* (ω₁/1.54)² (4)

Dividing both sides in (3) and (4), we get:

Krotf/Kroti = 1/1.54 = 0.65

This means that the final rotational kinetic energy, has reduced to 0.65 of the initial value, or that has lost 35% of the initial kinetic energy.

a high speed train travels with an average speed of 250 km/h. the train travels for 2 hrs. how far does the train travel
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 500 km </h3>

Explanation:

The distance covered by an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

<h3>distance = average velocity × time</h3>

From the question

average speed = 250 km/h

time = 2 hrs

We have

distance = 250 × 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>500 km</h3>

Hope this helps you

You are trying to climb a castle wall so, from the ground, you throw a hook with a rope attached to it at 24.1 m/s at an angle o
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The value is  h  =  13.2 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The speed of the rope with hook is u =  24 .1 \  m/s

     The angle is  \theta = 65.0^o

      The speed at which it hits top of the wall is  v  =  16.3 m/s

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v_y^2  =  u_y ^2 + *  2 (-g)* h

Here h is the height of the wall so

      [16.3 sin (65)]^2 =  [24.1 sin (65)] ^2+   2 (-9.8)* h

=>    h  =  13.2 \  m

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

graph would be a straight line from (0, 0) to (400, 8)

Plot points are

PE = mgh

50(0) = 0 J

50(2) = 100 J

50(4) = 200 J

50(6) = 300 J

50(8) = 400 J
