A 75 g, 30 cm long rod hangs vertically on a friction less, horizontal axel passing through the center. A 10 g ball of clay trav

elling horizontally at 2.5 m/s hits and stick to the very bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle, measured from vertical, does the rod rotates when the ball of clay is attached to the rod?

Angular momentum is conserved, just before the clay hits and just after; 
<span>mv(L/2) = Iw </span>

<span>I is the combined moment of inertia of the rod, (1/12)ML^2 , and the clay at the tip, m(L/2)^2 ; </span>
<span>I = [(1/12)ML^2 + m(L/2)^2] </span>

<span>Immediately after the collision the kinetic energy of rod + clay swings the rod up so the clay rises to a height "h" above its lowest point, giving it potential energy, mgh. From energy conservation in this phase of the problem; </span>
<span>(1/2)Iw^2 = mgh </span>

<span>Use the "w" found in the conservation of momentum above; and solve for "h" </span>
<span>h = mv^2L^2/8gI </span>

<span>Next, get the angle by noting it is related to "h" as; </span>
<span>h = (L/2) - (L/2)Cos() </span>

<span>So finally </span>
<span>Cos() = 1- 2h/L = 1 - mv^2L/4gI </span>

<span>m=mass of clay </span>
<span>M=mass of rod </span>
<span>L=length of rod </span>
<span>v=velocity of clay</span>

A student used a yardstick to model the displacement of rock at a fault during an earthquake. The student bent the yardstick wit
jonny [76]
I think the correct answer would be B. The process of elastic rebound is being shown by the student. It is a theory that is used to explain earthquakes. It focuses on how energy is being spread in times of earthquakes. As the rocks on the fault experiences shift and force, these rocks would be accumulating energy causing it to deform reaching the internal strength and eventually exceeding it. At that moment, a rapid motion would happen along the fault, which releases the energy, then the rocks would go back to its original shape or the undeformed state. This theory is the first theory that sufficiently was able to explain earthquakes.

Ice has a specific heat of 2.093Jg ∘C, liquid water's specific heat is 4.184Jg ∘C, and steam has a specific heat of 1.864Jg ∘C.
Ivan

Answer:

The liquid phase will have the lowest temperature change upon heating.

Explanation:

Assuming no phase change due to heating, we know that the temperature change, is proportional to the mass heated, being the proportionality constant  a quantity that depends on the material, and represents the resistance of the material to change the temperature, called specific heat.

So, if we assume that the mass is the same for the three phases, and that the amount of heat supplied is also the same,the phase with the highest specific heat will have the lowest temperature change.

So, the liquid phase will be the one that exhibits this behavior, as the specific heat of liquid water (4.184 J/gºC) is the highest among the three phases.
