The source of power in a nuclear power plant is nuclear reactors. These reactors split uranium atoms, releasing energy in the form of heat, in a process called fission. The heat converts water into steam which powers a turbine generator to produce electricity.

The moment of inertia is $24.8 kg m^2$

Explanation:

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}ML^2$

where

M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod

L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod

Substituting,

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}(24)(0.96)^2=1.84 kg m^2$

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

$I_b = mr^2$

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball

$r=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{0.96}{2}=0.48 m$ is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation

So we have

$I_b = (50)(0.48)^2=11.5 kg m^2$

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

$I=I_r + 2I_b = 1.84+ 2(11.5)=24.8 kg m^2$

A spring stretches 0.150 m when a 0.30 kg mass is hung from it. The spring is then stretched an additional 0.100 m from this equ

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

a) $k=19.6N/m$

b) $V_m=0.81m/s$

c) $a_m=6.561m/s^2$

d) $K.E=0.096J$

e) $T=0.78sec$ & $F=1.29sec$

f) $mx'' + kx' =0$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Stretch Length $L=0.150m$

Mass $m=0.30kg$

Total stretch length $L_t=0.150+0.100=>0.25$

a)

Generally the equation for Force F on the spring is mathematically given by

$F=-km\\\\k=F/m\\\\k=\frac{m*g}{x}\\\\k=\frac{0.30*9.8}{0.15}$

$k=19.6N/m$

b)Generally the equation for Max Velocity of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

$V_m=A\omega$

Where

A=Amplitude

$A=0.100m$

And

$\omega=angulat Velocity\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{19.6}{0.3}}\\\\\omega=8.1rad/s$

Therefore

$V_m=A\omega\\\\V_m=8.1*0.1$

$V_m=0.81m/s$

c)

Generally the equation for Max Acceleration of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

$a_m=\omega^2A$

$a_m=8.1^2*0.1$

$a_m=6.561m/s^2$

d)

Generally the equation for Total mechanical energy of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*0.3*0.8^2$

$K.E=0.096J$

e)

Generally the equation for the period T is mathematically given by

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

$T=\frac{2*3.142}{8.1}$

$T=0.78sec$

Generally the equation for the Frequency is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{1}{T}$

$F=1.29sec$

f)

Generally the Equation of time-dependent vertical position of the mass is mathematically given by

$mx'' + kx' =0$

Where

'= signify order of differentiation

A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_n = 306 N$

Part b)

$v = 12.1 m/s$

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

$mg - F_n = ma_c$

now we will have

$mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}$

now we have

$F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}$

$F_n = 981 - 675$

$F_n = 306 N$

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

$F_n + mg = ma_c$

$F_n = 0$ at minimum speed

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$v = \sqrt{Rg}$

$v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}$

$v = 12.1 m/s$

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider
