A disk rotates freely on a vertical axis with an angular velocity of 50 rpm . An identical disk rotates above it in the same dir

ection about the same axis, but without touching the lower disk, at 20 rpm . The upper disk then drops onto the lower disk. After a short time, because of friction, they rotate together.The final angular velocity of the disks is1. 49 rpm2. 21 rpm3. 77 rpm4. 35 rpm5. 42 rpm

True [87]3 years ago

Answer:

Final angular velocity is 35rpm

Explanation:

Angular velocity is given by the equation:

I1w1i + I2w2i = I1w1f -I2w2f

But the two disks are identical, so Ii =I2

wf can be calculated using

wf = w1i - w2i/2

Given: w1i =50rpm w2i= 30rpm

wf= (50 + 20) / 2

wf= 70/2 = 35rpm

Which of the following material offers the lowest resistivity?
Yuki888 [10]
Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: 1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m
Salt water: 2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m
Silver: 1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m
Lead: 2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>

In a mixture of the gases oxygen and helium, which statement is valid: (a) the helium molecules will be moving faster than the o
mixer [17]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

Given:

In a mixture of the gases oxygen and helium, which statement is valid:

(a) the helium molecules will be moving faster than the oxygen molecules, on average

(b) both kinds of molecules will be moving at the same speed

(c) the oxygen molecules will, on average, be moving more rapidly than the helium molecules

(d) the kinetic energy of the helium will exceed that of the oxygen

(e) none of the above

Solution:

- We will use Boltzmann distribution to answer this question. The root mean square speed of molecules of a gas gives the average speed as follows:

                                        V_rms = sqrt ( 3 k T / m )

- Where, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature and m is the mass of a single molecule of a gas.

- In general, a mixture has a constant equilibrium temperature T_eq.

- So the v_rms is governed by the mass of a single molecule.

- We know that mass of single molecule of Oxygen is higher than that of Helium molecule. Hence, the relation of mass is inversely proportional to square of root mean speed. So the helium molecules will be moving faster than the oxygen molecules.

- Note: The kinetic energy of the mixture remains constant because it is due to the interaction of the molecules within i.e oxygen and helium. Which makes the kinetic energy independent of mass.

                                     E_k = 0.5*m*v_rms^2

                                     E_k = 0.5*m*(3*k*T/ m )

                                    E_k = 0.5*3*k*T

Hence, E_k is only the function of Temperature which we already established to remain constant at equilibrium.
