What does a negative moment of inertia mean?

Physics
1 answer:
nydimaria [60]3 years ago
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.

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp
maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = \dfrac{N}{C}m

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s

How are scientists able to predict when and where the next eclipse will occur?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

When the Earth and sun are perfectly lined up, then it will happen. They can tell when it's going to happen.

Explanation:

This is why it only happens in some places. Some days it's not sunny out, so it's not going to happen.

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

Please help, and show steps. Thank you very much!
Vikentia [17]
V = 8 * 10^2 km/h = 800km/h
S= 1,8* 10^3 km = 1800km
t = ?
v = S/t
t = S/v
t = 1800km/ 800km/h
t ≈ 2,25h (135min)
