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

If a weighted, air-filled balloon sinks in a lake, it will _____.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

C. Sink until it reaches equilibrium and then remain at a constant depth.

Explanation:

An object immersed in a fluid experiences buoyant force. If the net buoyant force is greater than the net weigh of the object, the object will float.

If the net buoyant force is less than the net wight of the object, it will sink until a depth where the total weight of the object and the force due to the fluid above the object equals the net buoyant force at the bottom of the object (equilibrium), then the object remains at a constant depth.

As a roller coaster car crosses the top of a 50-m-diameter loop-the-loop, its apparent weight is the same as its true weight.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:22.36 m/s

Explanation:

Given

the diameter of loop d=50 m

the radius of loop r=25 m

At the top position, we can write,

weight and Normal reaction combination will provide the centripetal force i.e.

R+W=\frac{mv^2}{r}

R=W\quad \quad [\text{apparent weight =Actual weight}]

2W=2mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{2gr}

v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 25}

v=22.36\ m/s

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrons play a major role in all chemical bonds. There is one type of bonding called electrovalent bonding (ionic), where an electron from one atom is transferred to another atom. You wind up creating two ions as one atom loses an electron and one gains one.
