Answer:

There are two different types of current in widespread use today. They are direct current, abbreviated DC, and alternating current, abbreviated AC. In a direct current, the electrons flow in one direction.

How do I know what kinematic equations to use when solving a question?

olganol [36]

Explanation:

There are 5 kinematic equations, and 5 variables.

Each question will give you 3 variables and ask you to solve for a fourth.

To determine which equation to use, look at which variable is <em>not</em> included in the problem.

For example, if the question does not include time, then you need to use a kinematic equation that does not have t in it. That would be:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Or, if the question does not include the final velocity, then you need a kinematic equation that does not have v in it. That would be:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

A pin-supported, vertically-oriented 1-m long thin rod is struck by a pellet at m down from the pin at the top. The mass of the

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the angular velocity of the rod immediately after being struck by the pellet, provided that the pellet gets lodged in the rod is = 0.5036 k` rad/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum of approach.

From the question; the pellet is hitting at a distance of 0.4 m down from the point of rotation of the rod.

So, the angular momentum of the system just before the collision occurs with respect to the axis of the rotation is expressed by the formula:

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } = mp ( r_y } ^ { ^ \to } * v_{pi} ^ { ^ \to } )$ ----- equation (1)

The position vector can now be :

$x ^ { ^ \to }$ = $- 0.4 \ j \ m$

Also, given that :

$v_{p,i} ^ { ^ \to } = (280 \ i - 350 \ j) \ m/s$

Replacing the value into above equation (1); we have:

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } =0.012 ((- \ 0.4 \ j) *(280 \ i - 350 \ j ))$

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } =0.012 * 112 \ k$ (by using cross product )

$L_i ^ { ^ \to } = 1.344 k` \ \ kg m^2 s^{-1}$

However; the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis of rotation is :

$I_{rod} = \frac{1}{3}m_rl^2 \\ \\ I_{rod} = \frac{1}{3}*8*1^2 \\ \\ I_{rod} = \frac{8}{3} \ \ kg \ m^2$

Also, the moment of inertia of the pellet about the axis of rotation is:

$I_{pellet} = m_pr_y^2 \\ \\ I_{pellet} = 0.012 *0.4^2 \\ \\ I_{pellet} = 1.92*10^{-3} kg . m^2$

So, the moment of inertia of the rod +pellet system is:

$I = I_{rod}+I_{pellet}$

$I =( \frac{8}{3}+1.92 *10^{-3} )kg. m^2$

$I = 2.6686 \ kg. m^2$

The final angular momentum is :

$L_f ^ {^ \to} = I \omega { ^ {^ \to} } = 2.6686 \ \omega ^ {^ \to}$

The angular velocity of the rod $\omega$ is determined by equating the angular momentum just before the collision with the final angular momentum (i.e after the collision).

So;

$L_f ^ {^ \to} = L_i ^ { ^ \to}$

$2.6686 \omega ^ {^ \to} = 1.344 \ k ^ {^ \to}$

$\omega ^ {^ \to} = \frac{1.344 \ k`}{2.6686}$

= 0.5036 k` rad/s

Hence; the angular velocity of the rod immediately after being struck by the pellet, provided that the pellet gets lodged in the rod is = 0.5036 k` rad/s

Two identical isolated conducting spheres are picked for an experiment. Only one of them is charged. If the spheres are now brie

aev [14]

Because they are conducting, when you bring them together the charge is split equally among the two spheres (because they have the same radius the amount of charge is also equal). Now they will repel each other because of the net charge on each with the same polarity.
