The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.
The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.
Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.
The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of each disk is:
Idisk = 1/2 MR²
Using parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of each rod is:
Irod = 1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²
The total moment of inertia is:
I = 2Idisk + 5Irod
I = 2 (1/2 MR²) + 5 [1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²]
I = MR² + 5/2 mr² + 5m (R − r)²
Plugging in values:
I = (125 g) (5 cm)² + 5/2 (250 g) (1 cm)² + 5 (250 g) (5 cm − 1 cm)²
I = 23,750 g cm²
<h2>
Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = ?
Time, t = 6.8 s
Displacement, s = 1/4 mi = 400 meters
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²
a = 17.30 m/s²
Now we have equation of motion v = u + at
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Final velocity, v = ?
Time, t = 6.8 s
Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²
Substituting
v = u + at
v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8
v = 117.65 m/s
Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s
