A force is applied to the rim of a disk that can rotate like a merry-go-round, so as to change its angular velocity. Its initial

and final angular velocities, respectively, for four situations are the following.
(a) -2 rad/s, 5 rad/s;
(b) 2 rad/s, 5 rad/s;
(c) -2 rad/s, -5 rad/s; and
(d) 2 rad/s, -5 rad/s.

Rank the situations according to the work done by the torque due to the force, greatest first.

Answer:

The work done by the torque is the same in each case.

Explanation:

Work-Energy Theorem can be used to calculate the work done by the torque in each case.

W = \Delta K\\W = K_2 - K_1 = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}I\omega_1^2\\

Let's apply this theorem to each case:

W_a = \frac{1}{2}I(5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(-2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)\\W_b = \frac{1}{2}I(5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)\\W_c = \frac{1}{2}I(-5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(-2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)\\W_d = \frac{1}{2}I(-5)^2 - \frac{1}{2}I(2)^2 = \frac{1}{2}I(21)

As can be seen from the results, in each case the work done by the torque is the same.

grin007 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the rod = 1.50 Kg

length of rod = 0.85 m

rotational velocity = 5060 rev/min

now calculating the rotational inertia of the system.

I = m L^2        

where L is the length of road, we will take whole length of rod because mass is at  the end of it.      

I = 1.5 \times 0.85^2  

I = 1.084 kg.m²                        

hence, the rotational inertia the system is equal to I = 1.084 kg.m²

What region of the spectrum best corresponds to light with a wavelength equal to:_____ a. The diameter of a hydrogen atomb. The
zavuch27 [327]

We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.

In the case of the <em>hydrogen atom</em>, we know that this is equivalent to 10^{-10} m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.

In the case of the <em>Virus</em> we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.

In the case of <em>height</em>, it fluctuates in a person around 10 ^ 0 to 10 ^ 1 m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.
