A softball player swings a bat, accelerating it from rest to 2.6 rev/srev/s in a time of 0.20 ss . Approximate the bat as a 0.90

-kgkg uniform rod of length 0.95 mm, and compute the torque the player applies to one end of it.

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

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³
