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

Answer:

-450 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

p₀ = p

0 = (1.5 kg) (1.5 m/s) + (0.005 kg) v

v = -450 m/s

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c
amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.

A hair dryer uses 1200 watts of power. Current flow through
KonstantinChe [14]
The answer is: 120V

Power is the rate at which energy is supplied/transformed in time:
we can write:

V ddp in Volts represents Energy/Charge i.e. energy carried by each coulomb;

I current in Amperes represents Charge/time or coulombs passing each seconds.

combining them we have:

Power = energy/time = V • 1

or

1200 = V ⋅ 10
V = 1200/10 = 120V
