Answer:

(a)  I = 0.363 kgm^2

(b)  I = 1.95 kgm^2

Explanation:

(a) If you consider the shape of the skater as approximately a cylinder, you use the following formula to calculate the moment of inertia of the skater:

I_s=\frac{1}{2}MR^2         (1)

M: mass of the skater = 60.0 kg

R: radius of the cylinder = 0.110m

I_s=\frac{1}{2}(60.0kg)(0.110m)^2=0.363kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the skater is 0.363 kgm^2

(b) In the case of the skater with his arms extended, you calculate the moment of inertia of a combine object, given by cylinder and a rod (the arms) that cross the cylinder. You use the following formula for the total moment of inertia:

I=I_c+I_r\\\\I=\frac{1}{2}M_1R^2+\frac{1}{12}M_2L^2       (2)

M1: mass of the cylinder = 74.0 kg

M2: mass of the rod = 3.00kg +3.00kg = 6.00kg

L: length of the rod = 0.750m + 0.750m = 1.50m

R: radius of the cylinder = 0.150

I=\frac{1}{2}(74.0kg)(0.150m)^2+\frac{1}{12}(6.00kg)(1.50m)^2\\\\I=1.95kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the skater with his arms extended is 1.95 kg.m^2

The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that

Answer:

The permittivity of rubber is  \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  magnitude of the point charge is  q_1 =  70 \ nC  =  70 *10^{-9} \  C

      The diameter of the rubber shell is  d = 32 \ cm  =  0.32 \ m

       The Electric field inside the rubber shell is  E =  2500 \ N/ C

The radius of the rubber is  mathematically evaluated as

              r =  \frac{d}{2} =  \frac{0.32}{2}  =  0.16 \ m

Generally the electric field for a point  is in an insulator(rubber) is mathematically represented as

         E =  \frac{Q}{ \epsilon }  *  \frac{1}{4 *  \pi r^2}

Where \epsilon is the permittivity of rubber

    =>     E  *  \epsilon  *  4 * \pi *  r^2 =  Q

   =>      \epsilon  =  \frac{Q}{E *  4 *  \pi *  r^2}

substituting values

            \epsilon  =  \frac{70 *10^{-9}}{2500 *  4 *  3.142 *  (0.16)^2}

            \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

A car travels 2155.0m in 195.9s. What is the car's average speed?
inna [77]

Average speed of the car is 11 m/s

Explanation:

  • Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.
  • It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time
  • Here, distance = 2155 m and time = 195.9 s

Speed of the car = 2155/195.9 = 11 m/s
