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}

Calculate the phase angle (in radians) for a circuit with a maximum voltage of 12 V and w-50 Hz. The voltage source is connected
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The phase angle is 0.0180 rad.

(c) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 12 V

Angular velocity = 50 Hz

Capacitance C= 20\times10^{-2}\ F

Inductance L=20\times10^{-3}\ H

Resistance R=  50\ Omega

We need to calculate the impedance

Using formula of impedance

z=\sqrt{R^2+(\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C})^2}

z=\sqrt{50^2+(50\times20\times10^{-3}-\dfrac{1}{50\times20\times10^{-2}})^2}

z=50.00

We need to calculate the phase angle

Using formula of phase angle

\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{R}{z})

\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{50}{50.00})

\theta=0.0180\ rad

Hence, The phase angle is 0.0180 rad.

Two children are pulling on opposite sides of a blanket. The brother is pulling with a force of 3 N. The sister is pulling with
Citrus2011 [14]
Let F1=Force exerted by the brother (+F1)
F1= Force exerted by the sister (-F2)

Fnet=(+F1) + (-F2)
Fnet= (+F1) + (-F2)
Fnet=F1 - F2
Fnet= (+3N)+(-5N)
Fnet= -2N

-F

towards the sister (-F) (greater force applied)

What is the impulse of a 3kg object accelerating from rest to 12m/s?
ale4655 [162]
To find the impulse you multiply the mass by the change in velocity (impulse=mass×Δvelocity). So in this case, 3 kg × 12 m/s ("12" because the object went from zero m/s to 12 m/s).

The answer is 36 kg m/s
