Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False
kompoz [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}

where I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2 is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2} so \vec{\omega} \neq 0 unless \vec{r} ║  \vec{v}.

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.

Which of these is a mixture?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.

Four equal masses m are so small they can be treated as points, and they are equallyspaced along a long, stiff mass less wire. T
gavmur [86]

The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:

I = mr²

I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass

The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.

I = ∑mr²

The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is

I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4

The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is

I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4

The total moment of inertia of the system is

I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]

I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2

I = 10mℓ²/2

I = 5mℓ²
