Answer:

\tau=22.13Nm

Explanation:

information we have:

mass: m=0.9kg

lenght: L=0.95m

frequency: f=2.6rev/s

time: t=0.2s

and from the information we have we can calculate the angular velocity \omega. which is defined as

\omega=2\pi f

\omega=2\pi (2.6rev/s)\\\omega=16.336 rev/s

----------------------------

Now, to calculate the torque

We use the formula

\tau=I \alpha

where I  is the moment of inertia and \alpha is the angular acceleration

moment of inertia of a uniform rod about the end of it:

I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2

substituting known values:

I=\frac{1}{3} (0.9kg)(0.95m)^2\\I=0.271kg/m^2

for the torque we also need the acceleration \alpha which is defined as:

\alpha=\frac{\omega}{t}

susbtituting known values:

\alpha=\frac{16.336rev/s}{0.2s} \\\alpha=81.68rev/s^2

and finally we substitute I and  \alpha  into the torque equation \tau=I \alpha:\tau=(0.271kg/m^2)(81.68rev(s^2)\\\tau=22.13Nm

Explicación:

Dado que :

Dado:

Fuerza, F = 3500 N

Ángulo formado con la horizontal, θ, = 45 °

Los componentes de una fuerza se pueden descomponer en componentes verticales y horizontales.

El componente vertical Fy; y

El componente horizontal Fx

Fy = Fuerza * sinθ

Fy = 3500 * sin45 °

Fy = 2474,8737

El componente horizontal:

The heat capacity of 0.125Kg of water is measured to be 523j/k at a room temperature.Hence, calculate the heat capacity of water
Naily [24]

Answer:

A. 4148 J/K/Kg

B. 4148 J/K/L

Explanation:

A. Heat capacity per unit mass is known as the specific heat capacity, c.

C = Heat capacity/mass(kg)

C = (523 J/K) / 0.125 Kg = 4148 J/K/Kg

B. Volume of water = mass/density

Density of water = 1 Kg/L

Volume of water = 0.125 Kg/ 1Kg/L

Volume of water = 0.125 L

Heat capacity per unit volume = (523 J/K) / 0.125 L

Heat capacity per unit volume = 4148 J/K/L

(a) Consider the initial-value problem dA/dt = kA, A(0) = A0 as the model for the decay of a radioactive substance. Show that, i
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

a) t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}

b) See the proof below

A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

c) t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following differential equation:

\frac{dA}{dt}= kA

With the initial condition A(0) = A_o

We can rewrite the differential equation like this:

\frac{dA}{A} =k dt

And if we integrate both sides we got:

ln |A|= kt + c_1

Where c_1 is a constant. If we apply exponential for both sides we got:

A = e^{kt} e^c = C e^{kt}

Using the initial condition A(0) = A_o we got:

A_o = C

So then our solution for the differential equation is given by:

A(t) = A_o e^{kt}

For the half life we know that we need to find the value of t for where we have A(t) = \frac{1}{2} A_o if we use this condition we have:

\frac{1}{2} A_o = A_o e^{kt}

\frac{1}{2} = e^{kt}

Applying natural log we have this:

ln (\frac{1}{2}) = kt

And then the value of t would be:

t = \frac{ln (1/2)}{k}

And using the fact that ln(1/2) = -ln(2) we have this:

t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}

Part b

For this case we need to show that the solution on part a can be written as:

A(t) = A_o 2^{-t/T}

For this case we have the following model:

A(t) = A_o e^{kt}

If we replace the value of k obtained from part a we got:

k = -\frac{ln(2)}{T}

A(t) = A_o e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{T} t}

And we can rewrite this expression like this:

A(t) = A_o e^{ln(2) (-\frac{t}{T})}

And we can cancel the exponential with the natural log and we have this:

A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

Part c

For this case we want to find the value of t when we have remaining \frac{A_o}{8}

So we can use the following equation:

\frac{A_o}{8}= A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

Simplifying we got:

\frac{1}{8} = 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}

We can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

ln(\frac{1}{8}) = -\frac{t}{T} ln(2)

And if we solve for t we got:

t = T \frac{ln(8)}{ln(2)}

We can rewrite this expression like this:

t = T \frac{ln(2^3)}{ln(2)}

Using properties of natural logs we got:

t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T

2. A tiny pig is dropped from the top of a building and lands safely on a trampoline. The tiny pig will have
allsm [11]

Answer:

c. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

The two types of energy involved in this problem are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by an object due to its position. It is calculated as

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

From the formula, we see that the higher the object is above the ground (higher h), the larger the potential energy of the object. In this problem, the pig is falling down, so the value of h is decreasing, therefore the potential energy is decreasing as well.

- Kinetic energy: it is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is given by:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this problem, as the pig falls down, it accelerates, so its speed increases: since the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, as the speed increases, its kinetic energy increases too. So, the correct answer is

c. Kinetic energy
