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

Please help im stuck and can't find the answer sheet ANYWHERE :(​ PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

All steps are 20 * 100  (break the rest into appropriate pieces)

You can multiply as follows

(2000) * ((3 * 60) + (2 * 60) + 60)

V = 2000 * 6 * 60) = 720,000 cm^3 = .72 m^3

.72 m^3 * 2400 kg / m^3 = 1728 kg

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is a representation of Gauss law.

Gauss’s law does hold for moving charges, and in this respect Gauss’s law is more general than Coulomb’s law. In words, Gauss’s law states that: The net outward normal electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the total electric charge enclosed within that closed surface. The law can be expressed mathematically using vector calculus in integral form and differential form, both are equivalent since they are related by the divergence theorem, also called Gauss’s theorem.
