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

What can electricty from solar power be used for​
Mandarinka [93]
Regular electrical needs such as heat, a/c, appliances, anything that would be used regularly with electricity. Most electrical companies use gas, coal, and other nonrenewable resources to power houses. Solar power is just a renewable way of gathering power from the sun and converting it to electricity.

List the elements of the APA's definition of a psychological disorder. (
Elina [12.6K]

What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.
