Answer:

W = F × D

Explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you!

The formula we use to calculate work is shown below:

W = F × D

W = WORK

F = FORCE

D = DISTANCE

For example, let's say you're holding a box with both of your hands, keeping it still. Sure, holding the box requires some amount of effort, no matter the weight or size, but since you aren't moving the box up and down, no work is being applied.

If you slowly raise the box into the air, however, work is being done on the box. It still requires effort, but you're applying force on the box, raising it x amount of distance into the air.

This is where the variables W, F and D come from.

I hope this helped you! Comment below if I can assist with anything else! :)

A 780g, 50-cm-long metal rod is free to rotate about a frictionless axle at one end. While at rest, the rod is given a short but

Semmy [17]

Answer:

9.6 rad/s

Explanation:

$L$ = length of the metal rod = 50 cm = 0.50 m

$M$ = Mass of the long metal rod = 780 g = 0.780 kg

Moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given as

$I = \frac{ML^{2}}{3} = \frac{(0.780)(0.50)^{2}}{3} = 0.065 kgm^{2}$

$F$ = force applied by the hammer blow = 1000 N

Torque produced due to the hammer blow is given as

$\tau = \frac{FL}{2}$

$\tau = \frac{(1000)(0.50)}{2}$

$\tau = 250 Nm$

$t$ = time of blow = 2.5 ms = 0.0025 s

$w$ = Angular velocity after the blow

Using Impulse-change in angular momentum, we have

$I w = \tau t\\(0.065) w = (250) (0.0025)\\w = 9.6 rads^{-1}$

A uniform thin rod of length 0.11 m and mass 4.6 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. T

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is based on conservation of rotational momentum.

Moment of inertia of rod about its center

= 1/12 m l² , m is mass of the rod and l is its length .

= 1 / 12 x 4.6 x .11²

I = .004638 kg m²

The angular momentum of the bullet about the center of rod = mvr

where m is mass , v is perpendicular component of velocity of bullet and r is distance of point of impact of bullet fro center .

5 x 10⁻³ x v sin60 x .11 x .5 where v is velocity of bullet

According to law of conservation of angular momentum

5 x 10⁻³ x v sin60 x .11 x .5 = ( I + mr²)ω , where ω is angular velocity of bullet rod system and ( I + mr²) is moment of inertia of bullet rod system .

.238 x 10⁻³ v = ( .004638 + 5 x 10⁻³ x .11² x .5² ) x 12

.238 x 10⁻³ v = ( .004638 + .000015125 ) x 12

.238 x 10⁻³ v = 55.8375 x 10⁻³

.238 v = 55.8375

v = 234.6 m /s

What is the circle of least confusion?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In optics, a CoC(Circle of Confusion) is defined the minimum cross section of a paraxial bundle of rays made by a lens which is sphero-cylindrical type and can be viewed as an optical spot, which do not converge perfectly at the focus while a point source is being imaged due to spherical aberration.

The Circle of Confusion is also referred to as circle of indistinctness or a blur spot

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth fall over the smallest area? 80° 65° 40° 10°

Veronika [31]

Answer: D. 10 degree angle

All places on Earth received sunlight but in different angles. The smallest area, which is the north of the Arctic Circle receive sunlight at a 10 degree angle because of the tilted axis of rotation. Usually, the sun’s rays are the most intense at the equator and the least intense at the poles as Earth revolves around the sun.
