What does a negative moment of inertia mean?

1 answer:

8 0

When we are talking about simple Ixx or Iyyvalues, then yes these will always be positive. However, when talking about moment products like Ixy, these will not necessarily be positive, mainly when holes have been cut in these cross sections.

When the holes are cut in, those moments then become negative, and due to the parallel axis theorem sometimes these negative values actually become larger than the initial value, and the moment then becomes negative.

The final combined velocity after the collision is 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two car and of the truck must be conserved before and after the collision.

This means that we can write the following equation:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 800 kg$ is the mass of the sport car

$u_1 = 13.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the car (taking its direction as positive direction)

$m_2 = 1200 kg$ is the mass of the truck

$u_2 = 25.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the truck

$v$ is the final combined velocity of the car and the truck, after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the velocity after the collision:

$v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(800)(13)+(1200)(25)}{800+1200}=20.2 m/s$

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the two vehicles.

QveST [7]

In a moving car the outside looks to be moving. however if viewed from the outside, the car appears to be moving. so motion is relative to the person observing.

A motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled

wel

Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed * time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

The leaves will diverge further: The positive charge on the leaves has increased further. This occurs when positive charge is produced on the leaves by the charged object. This is quite possible only when the object is positively charged.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

v=-30 m/s

Explanation:

Using the equation:

v=u+at

v=?

u means initial velocity=0

a=-10 since it is going down we make the acceleration due to gravity negative

t=3

v=0+(-10)(3)

v=-30 m/s
