In this problem, you will practice applying this formula to several situations involving angular acceleration. In all of these s

ituations, two objects of masses m1 and m2 are attached to a seesaw. The seesaw is made of a bar that has length l and is pivoted so that it is free to rotate in the vertical plane without friction. You are to find the angular acceleration of the seesaw when it is set in motion from the horizontal position. In all cases, assume that m1>m2, and that counterclockwise is considered the positive rotational direction.a) Assume that the mass of the swing bar, as shown in the figure, is negligible. Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration a(alpha) of the seesaw. Express in variables of m1, m2, l and g.b) Now consider a similar situation, except that now the swing bar itself has mass mbar . (Part C figure)
Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration a (alpha) of the seesaw. GIve answer as variables as before.

Answer:

Part a)

\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}

Part b)

\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}

Explanation:

As we know that the see saw bar is massless so here torque due to two masses is given as

\tau = I\alpha

here we will have

\tau = (m_1g - m_2g)(\frac{L}{2})

now we will have inertia of two masses given as

I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2

now we have

I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4}

now the angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}

so we have

\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}

Part b)

Now if the rod is not massles then we will have total inertia given as

I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2 + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}

so we will have

I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4} + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}

now the acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}

\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}

A solid ball and a hollow ball, each with a mass of 1.00 kg and radius of 0.100 m start from rest and roll down a ramp of length
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The solid ball and hollow ball both will reach the bottom with the same speed.

Explanation:

The speed of the solid and hollow balls is independent of  the mass and the radius. A solid and hollow ball experience same speed on a given incline.

The speed can be calculated as

v = √(10/7)gh

where g is gravitational acceleration and h is the height

sinθ = h/L

h = L*sinθ

h = 3*sin(35)

h = 1.72 m

v = √(10/7)*9.8*1.72

v = 4.91 m/s

Both balls will reach the bottom at the speed of 4.91 m/s.

What is the principle of potentiometer?​
kupik [55]

Answer:

The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).

Explanation:

I hope it will help you

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?​
ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.
