for the primitive yo-yo in fig, to find the downward acceleration of the cylinder and the tension in the string. you can take th
mixas84 [53]

The downward acceleration of the solid cylinder at the given tension in the string is determined as 2Tr/MR.

<h3>Downward acceleration of the cylinder</h3>

The downward acceleration of the solid cylinder is determined from the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;

Iα = Tr

where;

  • I is moment of inertia of the solid cylinder
  • α is angular acceleration of the cylinder
  • T is tension in the string
  • r is length of the string

α = Tr/I

\frac{a}{R} = \frac{Tr}{I} \\\\\frac{a}{R} = \frac{Tr}{\frac{1}{2} MR^2}\\\\\frac{a}{R} =\frac{2Tr}{MR^2} \\\\a = \frac{2Tr}{MR}

where;

  • a is the downward acceleration of the solid cylinder
  • R is radius of the cylinder

Thus, the downward acceleration of the solid cylinder at the given tension in the string is determined as 2Tr/MR.

"Nuclear fission is the splitting of electrons in the outer shell of an atom." True or False?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

False

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the splitting of nucleus of an atom which results in the emission of high amount of energy.

<u>Example:</u>

Heavy atom (i.e. uranium) when bombarded with neutrons, its nucleus split into smaller lighter weight nuclei and release a huge amount of energy. (Nuclear fission also takes place without neutrons i.e. in the form of radioactive decay (the process in which an unstable nucleus of an atom releases energy in the form of radiation)).

if you know the RGB values of two colours of light how could you calculate the RGB value of the mixture of two colours summarize
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

RGB values are a combination of three different numerical values which represent Red Green and Blue which range from 0 to 255. When combining two separate colors with RGB values you would simply need to add each of these numerical values together to form an entirely new RGB value. For example,

(105, 200, 0) + (203, 30, 186) = (255, 230, 186)

You can see in the example above that every number in the first color is added to the number in the same position within the second color. If the addition of two numbers goes above 255 then the value maxes out at 255 and stays as is.
