(m = 4.0 kg) the cockroach rides on the rim (at radius R) of a disk (M = 6.0 kg) that turns about its center like a merry-go-rou
kvasek [131]

Answer:

ω' = 2.5 rad/s

Explanation:

mass of cockroach, m = 4 kg

mass of disk, M = 6 kg

Radius of disc= R

initial angular velocity, ω = 2 rad/s

Let the final angular velocity is ω'

As no external torque is applied, so the angular momentum is constant.

Angular momentum = Moment of inertia x angular velocity

I ω = I' ω'

\frac{1}{2}\left ( M+m \right )R^{2}\times {2} = \left (\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}+m(0.5R)^{2})  \right )\omega '

10R^{2} = 4R^{2}\omega '

ω' = 2.5 rad/s

A major-league pitcher can throw a ball in excess of 40.1 m/s. If a ball is thrown horizontally at this speed, how much will it
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.

Explanation:

The position of the ball at time "t" is described by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

When the ball reaches the catcher, the position vector will be "r final" (see attached figure).

The x-component of the vector "r final", "rx final", will be 17.0 m. We have to find the y-component.

Using the equation of the x-component of the position vector, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the catcher (notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point so that x0 and y0 = 0):

x = x0 + v0x · t

17.0 m = 0 m + 40.1 m/s · t

t = 17.0 m/ 40. 1 m/s = 0.424 s

With this time, we can calculate the y-component of the vector "r final", the drop of the ball:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Initially, there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

y = 1/2 · g · t²

y = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.424 s)²

y = -0.881 m

The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.

A 10 kg ball is falling on the planet Mars. Mars has an acceleration due to gravity of about 4 m/s/s. What is the force of gravi
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The force of gravity = 40 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a ball, m = 10 kg

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars, a = 4 m/s²

We need to find the force of gravity of the ball on Mars. The force of gravity on an object is given by :

F = mg

Substitute all the values,

F = 10 kg × 4 m/s²

F = 40 N

Hence, the correct option is (B).
