A string is wrapped around a pulley with a radius of 2.0 cm. The pulley is initially at rest. A constant force of 50 N is applie

d to the string, causing the pulley to rotate and the string to unwind. If the string unwinds 1.2 m in 4.9 s, what is the moment of inertia of the pulley

Answer:

0.20kg-m^2

Explanation:

Let the linear velocity of the rope(=of pulley) is v m/s

Using kinematic equation

=> v = u + at

=>v = 0 + 4.9a

=>v = 4.9a ------------ eq1

By v^2 = u^2 + 2as

=>v^2 = 0 + 2 x v/4.9 x 1.2

=>4.9v^2 - 2.4v = 0

=>v(4.9v - 2.4) = 0

=>v = 2.4/4.9 = 0.49 m/s

Thus by v = r x omega

=>omega = v/r = 0.49/0.02 = 24.49 rad/sec

BY W = F x s = 50 x 1.2 = 60 J

=>KE(rotational) = W = 1/2 x I x omega^2

=>60 = 1/2 x I x (24.49)^2

=>I = 0.20 kg-m^2

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical
lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}} (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}

\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2 (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio \frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}} is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83
