To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 12.1 for rotational dynamics problems. Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on it

s point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the angular acceleration when it has an angle of 10.0 degrees from the vertical? A typical pencil has an average length of 15.0 cm and an average mass of 10.0 g . Assume the tip of the pencil does not slip as it falls.

Answer:

α = 68 rad / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law for rotational movement

     τ = I α

Where τ is the torque, I the moment of inertia and α the angular acceleration

Torque is the vector product of the distance perpendicular to the axis of rotation and the force that is the weight of the pencil (W); the distance (horizontal) is found with trigonometry

    sin 10 = x / (L / 2)

    x = L / 2 sin 10

    τ = W L / 2 sin  10

    τ = m g L / 2 sin 10

The moment of inertia of a pencil can be approximated to a thin rod with an axis of rotation at one end

     I = 1/12 m L²

We substitute in the first equation

    mg L / 2 sin 10 = (1/12 m L²) α

    g / 2 sin 10 = 1/12 L α

    α = 6g / L sin 10

Let's calculate

    α = 6 9.8 / 0.150 sin 10

    α = 68 rad / s²

A 1 pound bucket rests on a table. What is the support force exerted on the bucket by the table? What is the support force when
katrin2010 [14]

This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

  • According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
  • According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

<u>support force = 1 pound</u>

<u></u>

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

<u>support force = 6 pound</u>

<u></u>

niobium metal becomes a superconductor when cooled below 9 k. its superconductivity is destroyed when the surface magnetic field
Furkat [3]

Niobium wire with a 2.60 mm diameter has a maximum current capacity of 500 A while still remaining superconducting.

<h3>Describe the present.</h3>

Current is the rate at which charge passes from one point on a circuit to another. In a circuit, a significant current flows when several coulombs or charge pass over the cross section of a wire. When the charge carriers are firmly packed inside the wire, high currents can be generated at low speeds.

<h3>What do current and electron actually mean?</h3>

Electron movement is referred to as electron current. The positive terminal receives electrons that are released by the negative terminal. Traditional current, usually referred to as just current, exhibits behavior consistent with positive charge carriers being the source of current flow. Regular current is received at the positive end and then flows to a negative terminal.

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.
