In the figure, a weightlifter's barbell consists of two identical small but dense spherical weights, each of mass 50 kg. These w

eights are connected by a thin 0.96-m rod with a mass of 24 kg. Find the moment of inertia of the barbell through the axis perpendicular to the rod at its center, assuming the two weights are small enough to be treated as point masses.

The moment of inertia is $24.8 kg m^2$

Explanation:

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}ML^2$

where

M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod

L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod

Substituting,

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}(24)(0.96)^2=1.84 kg m^2$

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

$I_b = mr^2$

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball

$r=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{0.96}{2}=0.48 m$ is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation

So we have

$I_b = (50)(0.48)^2=11.5 kg m^2$

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

$I=I_r + 2I_b = 1.84+ 2(11.5)=24.8 kg m^2$

A voltaic cell converts chemical energy to

Svetradugi [14.3K]

<h2>Answer: Electric energy </h2>

Voltaic cells use chemical reactions to generate electrical energy, as well as the reverse process.

This type of cell is mainly composed of the anode (a metal electrode where oxidation occurs) and the cathode (a metal electrode where the reduction occurs). These electrodes are placed in two compartments separated by a porous plate or membrane and immersed in a medium containing ions.

This is how, <u>when the chemical reaction of oxide-reduction occurs, electricity is generated.</u>

Calculate the amount of air in a room 6m long, 5m wide and 3mm high.

sattari [20]

Answer:

0.09kg of air

Explanation:

The dimensions of the room are given

change the height to meters by dividing it by thousand.

For the volume multiplying the length,width and height (all should be in the same unit most suitable being meters).

Volume refers to the amount of space inside a box or a object.

The amount of air is equal to the volume.

You're carrying a 3.0-m-long, 24 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pol

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$F=133N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length $l=3.0m$

Mass $m=24kg$

Distance from Tip $d=35cm$

Generally, the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

$mg(l/2)=F(l-d)$

$2*9.81(3/2)=F(3-35*10^-2)$

Therefore

$F=133N$

The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

$KE = 1 keV$

$KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J$

$KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J$

now the speed of electron is given as

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

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}$

$v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s$

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

$F = qvB$

$F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})$

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

$\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}$

$\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}$

so this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force
