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 small boat is moving at a velocity of 3.35m/s when it is accelerated by a river current perpendicular to the initial direction
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

 v =7.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

u = 3.35 m/s

t= 5 s

a= 0.75 m/s²

The final velocity = v

We know v = u +at

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation

v = 3.35 + 0.75 x 5 m/s

v =7.1 m/s

Therefore the final velocity will be 7.1 m/s

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 2.20 10-15 j. initially, the electrons move horizontally
dalvyx [7]
(a) The electrons move horizontally from west to east, while the magnetic field is directed downward, toward the surface. We can determine the direction of the force on the electron by using the right-hand rule:
- index finger: velocity --> due east
- middle finger: magnetic field --> downward
- thumb: force --> due north
However, we have to take into account that the electron has negative charge, therefore we have to take the opposite direction: so, the magnetic force is directed southwards, and the electrons are deflected due south.

b) From the kinetic energy of the electrons, we can find their velocity by using
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where K is the kinetic energy, m the electron mass and v their velocity. Re-arranging the formula, we find
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.20 \cdot 10^{-15} J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s

The Lorentz force due to the magnetic field provides the centripetal force that deflects the electrons:
qvB = m \frac{v^2}{r}
where
q is the electron charge
v is the speed
B is the magnetic field strength
m is the electron mass
r is the radius of the trajectory
By re-arranging the equation, we find the radius r:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(3.00 \cdot 10^{-5} T)}=13.18 m

And finally we can calculate the centripetal acceleration, given by:
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)^2}{13.18 m}=3.66 \cdot 10^{14} m/s^2

Time period from one noon to the next
matrenka [14]
That's the period of time known as one solar "day". We subdivide it into 24 slices which we call "hours". Using this system of time units, the day is about 4 minutes longer than one complete axial rotation of the Earth.
