Answer:
I think it is meteorologist because they also study of the atmosphere, atmospheric phenomena, and atmospheric effects on our weather.
Answer:
hmax = 1/2 · v²/g
Explanation:
Hi there!
Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.
KE = PE
Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.
The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:
KE = 1/2 · m · v²
Where:
m = mass of the ball
v = velocity.
The potential energy is calculated as follows:
PE = m · g · h
Where:
m = mass of the ball.
g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).
h = height.
At the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:
PE = KE
m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²
Solving for hmax:
hmax = 1/2 · v² / g
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
