Disk A, with a mass of 2.0 kg and a radius of 60 cm , rotates clockwise about a frictionless vertical axle at 20 rev/s . Disk B,

also 2.0 kg but with a radius of 40 cm , rotates counterclockwise about that same axle, but at a greater height than disk A, at 20 rev/s . Disk B slides down the axle until it lands on top of disk A, after which they rotate together.After the collision, what is their common angular speed (in rev/s) and in which direction do they rotate?

Answer:

Explanation:

  • let m1 = 2 kg
  • r1 = 60 cm = 0.6 m
  • w1 = -20 rev/s (clockwise)

I1 = 0.5 x m1 x r1²

= 0.5 x 2 x 0.6²

= 0.36 kg.m²

m2 = 2 kg

r2 = 40 cm = 0.4 m

w2 = 20 rev/s (counter clockwise)

I2 = 0.5 x m2 x r2²

= 0.5 x 2 x 0.4²

= 0.16 kg.m²

let wf be the final angular velocity of the two disks.

Applying conservation of angular momentum ;

(I1 + I2) x wf = I1 x w1 + I2 x w2

wf = (I1 x w1 + I2 x w2) / (I1 + I2)

= (0.36 x (-20) + 0.16 x 20 )/(0.36 + 0.16)

= -7.69rev/s

The negative sign indicates the disks rotate clockwise direction.

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go
horrorfan [7]
The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with  fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

The horizontal force is m*v²/Lh, where m is the total mass. The vertical force is the total weight (233 + 840)N. 

<span>Fx = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 </span>

<span>v = 32.3*2*π*7.5/60 m/s = 25.37 m/s </span>

<span>The horizontal component of force from the cables is Th + Ti*sin40º and the vertical component of force from the cable is Ta*cos40º </span>

<span>Thh horizontal and vertical forces must balance each other. First the vertical components: </span>

<span>233 + 840 = Ti*cos40º </span>

<span>solve for Ti. (This is the answer to the part b) </span>

<span>Horizontally </span>

<span>[(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 = Th + Ti*sin40º </span>

<span>Solve for Th </span>

<span>Th = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 - Ti*sin40º </span>

Explain what an exoskeleton is and what it is made of.
sergey [27]
The bodies of arthropods are supported, not by internal bones, but by a hardened exoskeleton<span> made of </span>chitin<span>, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor. It is produced by the "skin" and then hardens into a protective outer-covering.</span>
