A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical a

xle) that has a radius 14.9 cm, rotational inertia 5.92 x 10-3 kg·m2, and frictionless bearings. The cockroach's speed (relative to the ground) is 2.92 m/s, and the lazy Susan turns clockwise with angular velocity ω0 = 3.89 rad/s. The cockroach finds a bread crumb on the rim and, of course, stops. (a) What is the angular speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops? (b) Is mechanical energy conserved as it stops?

Answer:

-7.23 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m

Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²

Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s

Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s

The initial angular momentum of rim is

Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89

Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s

The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is

L = -mvr

L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149

L = -0.068 kgm²/s

This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together

2.3*10^-2 + -0.068

L' = -0.045 kgm²/s

After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is

I(f) = I + mr²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3

I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²

Final angular momentum of the disk is

L'' = I(f).w(f)

L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)

Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have

-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0

w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3

w(f) = -7.23 rad/s

Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed

b)

The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops

What volume (in liters) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (see section 17.6;
antiseptic1488 [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Mass = 0.0565 Kg,

Density = 900 kg/m³

             = 0.0565 kg/ 900 kg /m³

             = 6.3 × 10^-5 M³

but; 1000 L = 1 m³

Hence, <u>volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L</u>

He throws a second ball (B2) upward with the same initial velocity at the instant that the first ball is at the ceiling. c. How
Gwar [14]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing parts

A juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 3 m above the level of his hands. He throws a ball vertically upward so that it just reaches the ceiling.

answer : c) 0.39 sec

               d)  2.25 m

               e) 1.92 m/sec

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the first ball = 7.67 m/sec ( calculated )

Time required for first ball to reach ceiling = 0.78 secs ( calculated )

Determine how long after the second ball is thrown do the two balls pass each other

Distance travelled by first ball downwards when it meets second ball can be expressed as : d = 1/2 gt^2 =  9.8t^2 / 2

hence d = 4.9t^2  ----- ( 1 )

Initial speed of second ball = first ball initial speed = 7.67 m/sec

3 - d = 7.67t - 4.9t  ---- ( 2 )

equating equation 1 and 2

3 = 7.67t   therefore t = 0.39 sec

Determine how far the balls are above the Juggler's hands ( when the balls pass each other )

form equation 1 ;

d = 4.9 t^2 = 4.9 *(0.39)^2 = 0.75 m

therefore the height the balls are above the Juggler's hands is

3 - d = 3 - 0.75 = 2.25 m

determine their velocities when the pass each other

velocity = displacement / time

velocity = d / t = 0.75 / 0.39 sec  = 1.92 m/sec

How many times does a human heart beat during a person’s lifetime? How many gallons of blood does it pump? (Estimate that the he
Nostrana [21]

Answer: The heart pumps 124.2 billion cm³ of blood in a lifetime

Explanation:

as an adult the pulse rate average must be around 72 beats per minute.

The heart beats about 103,680 times in a day.

There are 365 days in a year

number of heart beat in a year = 365 days x 103,680 = 37,843,200 beats in a year

For every the heart pumps 50cm³ of blood,

Hence,

Amount of blood pump in a year = 50 x 37,843,200 = 1,892,160,000cm³ of blood pumped in a year.

Using the estimated lifespan average an individual is 69 years

So in a life time,

The human heart pumps = 1,892,160,000 x 69 years = 124,200,000,000

If the heart pumps 50cm³ of blood per beat, the heart pumps a total of 130,559,040,000 cm³ (130.6 billion cm³) of blood in a LIFETIME.
