Four equal masses M are spaced at equal intervals (each of length d) along a horizontal, straight rod whose mass can be ignored.

The system is to be rotated about a vertical axis passing through the mass at the left end of the rod and perpendicular to it.
(a) What is the moment of inertia of the system about this axis? (Assume that each mass is a particle, with no finite size.)
(b) What minimum force, applied to the farthest mass, will give the system an angular acceleration?

Answer:

a) 14Md^{2}

Explanation:

a)The inertia of a particle moving in a circular axis is given by,

I=Mr^{2} \\

I = Moment of inertia

M = mass of the particle

r = perpendicular distance from axis of rotation.

And by adding moment of inertia of each particle we can come to the moment of inertia of the system.

I = M(0d)^{2}+Md^{2} +M(2d)^{2}+M(3d)^{2}

 = 14Md^{2}

b) Your question is incomplete but I'll write how to find the minimum force required  to give a system given angular acceleration.

Minimum force is found when applied from the furthest point to the axis of rotation in the system.

, by τ = Fr, whereτ = torque , F = Force ,  = perpendicular distance from axis of rotation.

For minimum force r = 3d

And also τ = Iα where I = Moment of inertia and α = angular acceleration

By combining the two equations you get minimum force as,

F = Iα/r

F' = 14Md^{2}α/3d

  = 14Mαd/3

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

Explanation:

This problem is an application of momentum and momentum. When the astronaut pushed balls, he needed more force to move the ball of greater mass (bowling). The expression for soul is

      p = m v

Besibol Blade

      p1 = m1 v

Bowling ball

      p2 = m2 v

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

      p2 >> p1

Newton believed that time and space are absolute, while Einstein believed that the _______ is absolute.

Speed of light 

According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference.  In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

Which occupies mrs space, 3m cubed or 100ft cubed
Slav-nsk [51]

The question is somewhat ambiguous.

-- It's hard to tell whether it's asking about  '3 cubic meters'
or  (3m)³ which is actually 27 cubic meters.

-- It's hard to tell whether it's asking about    '100 cubic feet'
or  (100 ft)³ which is actually 1 million cubic feet.

I'm going to make an assumption, and then proceed to
answer the question that I have invented.
I'm going to assume that the question is referring to
'three cubic meters'  and  'one hundred cubic feet' .

OK.  We'll obviously need to convert some units here.
I've decided to convert the meters into feet.

For 1 meter, I always use    3.28084 feet.

Then (1 meter)³ = 1 cubic meter = (3.28084 ft)³ = 35.31 cubic feet.

So 3 cubic meters = (3 x 35.31 cubic feet) =  105.9 cubic feet.

That's more volume than  100 cubic feet.

Only the sun and other stars in space generate these kinds of waves:
Reika [66]

Answer:

<h2>Ultraviolet Waves.</h2>

Explanation:

The Sun emits waves called "Solar Waves", which have a wavelengths between 160 and 400 nanometers. According to the electromagnetic spectrum, these waves are defined as Ultraviolet, which have a frequency around the order of 10^{16}, which is really intense and high energy.

Therefore, the answer is Ultraviolet Waves.
