Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by the moment of inertia, multiplied by the angular speed of the rotating body:

L=I\omega

The angular speed is given by:

\omega=2\pi f\\\omega=2\pi 5.2\frac{rev}{s}\\\omega=32.67\frac{rad}{s}

Now, we calculate the angular momentum:

L=0.32kg\cdot m^2(32.67\frac{rad}{s})\\L=10.45\frac{kg\cdot m^2}{s}

The average torque is defined as:

\tau=I\alpha

\alpha is the angular acceleration, which is defined as:

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_0}{t}

We have to calculate \omega_f:

\omega_f=2\pi (2.75\frac{rad}{s})\\\omega_f=17.28\frac{rad}{s}

Now, we calculate the angular acceleration:

\alpha=\frac{17.28\frac{rad}{s}-32.67\frac{rad}{s}}{12s}\\\alpha=-1.28\frac{rad}{s^2}

Finally, we can know the average torque:

\tau=0.32kg\cdot m^2(-1.28\frac{rad}{s^2})\\\tau=-0.41N\cdot m

Tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second. If the wavelength of each wave is 45 cm, what is the spee
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, \lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m

Speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

v=17.5\times 0.45

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0. 15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is
dsp73

The velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the pitcher, m₁ = 50 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the baseball, m₂ = 0.15 kg</em>
  • <em>Velocity of the ball, u₂ = 35 m/s</em>

<em />

Let the velocity of the pitcher = u₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the pitcher as shown below;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

u_1 = \frac{m_2 u_2}{m_1} \\\\u_1 = \frac{0.15 \times 35}{50} \\\\u_1 = 0.105 \ m/s\\\\u_1 \approx 0.1 \ m/s

Thus, the velocity of the pitcher at the given mass is 0.1 m/s.

2. As a pendulum swings, its energy is constantly converted between kinetic
Alex

Answer:

at point F

Explanation:

To know the point in which the pendulum has the greatest potential energy you can assume that the zero reference of the gravitational energy (it is mandatory to define it) is at the bottom of the pendulum.

Then, when the pendulum reaches it maximum height in its motion the gravitational potential energy is

U = mgh

m: mass of the pendulum

g: gravitational constant

The greatest value is obtained when the pendulum reaches y=h

Furthermore, at this point the pendulum stops to come back in ts motion and then the speed is zero, and so, the kinetic energy (K=1/mv^2=0).

A) answer, at point F
