A thin rod of length 0.64 m and mass 120 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing

like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with angular speed 1.40 rad/s. Neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod's kinetic energy at its lowest position and (b) how far above that position the center of mass rises.

Answer:

1. Kinetic Energy = 0.0161 Joules

2. Height = 0.0137m

Explanation:

Given

Length of Rod, l = 0.64m

Mass, m = 120g = 0.12kg

Angular speed, w = 1.40 rad/s

a.

Calculating the Rod's kinetic energy

This is calculated by

Kinetic Energy = ½Iw²

Where I = rotational inertia of the rod about an axis.

This is calculated as follows;

I = Icm + mh²

I = ImL² + m(L/2)²

I = 1/12 * 0.12 * 0.64² + 0.12 * (0.64/2)²

I = 0.016384 kgm²

By substituton

KE = ½Iw² becomes

KE = ½ * 0.016384 * 1.40²

KE = 0.01605632J

KE = 0.0161 Joules

2. Using the total conservation of momentum;

K + U = Kf + V

Where K = Initial Kinetic Energy of the rod at lowest point.

U = Initial gravitational potential energy of the rod at lowest point

Kf = Final Kinetic Energy of the rod at maximum height = 0 J

V = Final gravitational potential energy of the rod at maximum height

So, K + U = Kf + V become

K + U = 0 + V

K + U = V

K = V - U = mgh

substitute 0.01605632J for K

0.01605632J = mgh

h = 0.01605632J/mg

h = 0.01605632J/(0.12 * 9.8)

h = 0.013653333333333

h = 0.0137m

Answer:

K.E = 4800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 600 kg

Velocity = 4 m/s

To find the kinetic energy;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}*600*4^{2}

K.E = 300 * 16

K.E = 4800 Joules.

Paula spots a glider located at an angle of elevation of 42 degrees. the distance between the glider and paula is 3280 feet. to
fomenos
This situation represents triangle with one angle of 90 degrees. That angle is directly below glider. That means that we can you basic trigonometry functions.

sin42 = h/3280

Now we express h.
h = 3280* sin42 
h = 2195 feet

The answer is 2195 feet.

Answer:

A, 30V

Explanation:

First combine all resistors to an equivalent resistor. Since they are in series, the equivalent resistance is the sum of all resistor

Req = 20 + 40 + 60 = 120Ω

Using Ohm's law, find the current in the circuit

V = I * R

I = V / R

I = 60V / 120Ω

I = 0.5 A

Now the potential drop across the resistor R3 is the current times R3 resistance, therefore:

Vdrop = 0.5A * 60Ω = 30V

So the potential drop across resistor R3 is 30 V
