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

Which of the following types of light microscopy improves the resolution of thick specimens by illuminating one plane of the spe
Vilka [71]

Answer:

confocal microscopy

Explanation:

According to my research on different types of microscopes, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the tool being mentioned in this situation is a confocal microscopy. This is an extremely powerful microscope used to develop extremely sharp images of cells and tissues by viewing one plane of the specimen at a given time.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

What is the condition for an object experiencing free fall?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The body acts under the influence of gravity.

Explanation:

An object experiencing free fall is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the acceleration due gravity is positive for any falling object. The body is able to fall freely due to the effect of gravity on it. This gravity effect causes the body to get attracted to the earth's gravitational surface due to gravitational pull exerted on the body.
