A small motor is mounted on the axis of a space probe with its rotor (the rotating part of the motor) parallel to the axis of th

e probe. Its function is to control the rotational position of the probe about the axis. The moment of inertia of the probe is [07] times that of the rotor. Initially, the probe and rotor are at rest. The motor is turned on and after some period of time, the probe is seen to have rotated by positive 32.6 degrees. Through how many revolutions has the rotor turned

Answer:

<em>0.634 rev</em>

Explanation:

It is stated that,

The moment of inertia of the probe = 7 times the moment of inertia of the rotor

After running for some time, the probe is seen to have rotated through positive 32.6°.

According to the laws of conservation of angular momentum, the angular momentum of the probe must be equal to the angular momentum of the rotor.

==> Irωr = Ipωp ....... equ 1

<em>integrating the angular speed ω with respect to time t leaves us with</em>

Ir∅r = Ip∅p ...... equ 2

where,

Ir = moment of inertia of the rotor

ωr = angular speed of the rotor

Ip = moment of inertia of the rotor

ωp = angular speed of the probe

∅r = angular position of the rotor

∅p = angular position of the probe

equ 2 can be rewritten as

Ip/Ir = ∅r/∅p

from the statement, Ip/Ir = 7

therefore,

7 = ∅r/∅p = ∅r/32.6

∅r = 7 x 32,6 = 228.2°

converting to rev = $\frac{228.2}{360 }$ =<em> 0.634 rev</em>

A moving curling stone, A, collides head on with stationary stone, B. Stone B has a larger mass than stone A. If friction is neg

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c': Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

Explanation:

Let the velocity and the mass of the smaller stone be 'm' and 'v' respectively

and the mass of big rock be 'M'

Initial momentum of the system equals

$p_i=mv+0=mv$

Now let after the collision the small stone move with a velocity v' and the big roch move with a velocity V'

Thus the final momentum of the system is

$p_f=mv'+MV'$

Equating initial and the final momenta we get

$mv=mv'+MV'\\\\m(v-v')=MV'.....i$

Now since the surface is frictionless thus the energy is also conserved thus

$E_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Similarly the final energy becomes

$E_f=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2$ \

Equating initial and final energies we get

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}MV'^2\\\\mv^2=mv'^2+MV'^2\\\\m(v^2-v'^2)=MV'^2\\\\m(v-v')(v+v')=MV'^2......(ii)$

Solving i and ii we get

$v+v'=V'$

Using this in equation i we get

$v'=\frac{v(m-M)}{(M-m)}=-v$

Thus putting v = -v' in equation i we get V' = 0

This implies Smaller stone rebounds while as larger stone remains stationary.

How long will it take a car to accelerate from 15.2 to 23.5 m/s if the car has an average acceleration of 3.2 m/s?

Nuetrik [128]

a = ( V2 - V1)/( t2 - t1)
3.2 = ( 23.5m/s - 15.2m/s)/(t - 0)
3.2m/s = 8.3/t
t(3.2) = 8.3
t = 8.3/3.2
t = 2.59 seconds

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object

dedylja [7]

We Know,

K.E. = 1/2 mv²

480 = 1/2 (m)(8)²

m = 960/64

m = 15 Kg

So, the mass of the object is 15 Kg
