A torque of 35.6 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result

of a directed force combined with a friction force. As a result of the applied torque the angular speed of the wheel increases from 0 to 10.1 rad/s. After 5.90 s the directed force is removed, and the wheel comes to rest 59.0 s later. (a) What is the wheel's moment of inertia (in kg · m2)? kg · m2 (b) What is the magnitude of the torque caused by friction (in N · m)? N · m (c) From the time the directed force is initially applied, how many revolutions does the wheel go through? revolutions

(a) 20.8 kg m^2

First of all, we can find the angular acceleration of the wheel when both the directed force and the friction force are acting on it:

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

where

\omega_f = 10.1 rad/s is the final angular velocity

\omega_i=0 is the initial angular velocity

t = 5.90 s is the time taken

Substituting,

\alpha=\frac{10.1 rad/s-0}{5.90 s}=1.71 rad/s^2

Now we can find the moment of inertia of the wheel by using the equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motions:

\tau = I\alpha (1)

where

\tau=35.6 Nm is the torque applied

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha=1.71 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation for I,

I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}=\frac{35.6 Nm}{1.71 rad/s^2}=20.8 kg m^2

(b) -3.5 Nm

In the second part, the directed force is removed, and only the friction force acts on the wheel. The wheel comes to rest after t=59.0 s, so the angular acceleration in this part is

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}=\frac{0-(10.1 rad/s)}{59.0 s}=-0.17 rad/s^2

And it is negative since it is a deceleration. The moment of inertia of the wheel has not changed, so we can still use eq.(1) to find the torque caused by the friction only:

\tau=I \alpha=(20.8 kg m^2)(-0.17 rad/s^2)=-3.5 Nm

(c) 52.5 revolutions

The total angular displacement covered by the wheel in the first part of the motion is given by:

\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha_1 \theta_1

where

\omega_f = 10.1 rad/s\\\omega_i = 0\\\alpha_1 = 1.71 rad/s^2

Solving for \theta_1,

\theta_1 = \frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha_1}=\frac{(10.1 rad/s)^2-0}{2(1.71 rad/s^2)}=29.8 rad

The total angular displacement covered by the wheel in the second part of the motion is given by:

\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha_2 \theta_2

where

\omega_f = 0 rad/s\\\omega_i = 10.1 rad/s\\\alpha_2 = -0.17 rad/s^2

Solving for \theta_2,

\theta_2 = \frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha_2}=\frac{0-(10.1 rad/s)^2}{2(-0.17 rad/s^2)}=300.0 rad

So the total angular displacement in radians is

\theta=\theta_1+\theta_2=29.8 rad+300.0 rad=329.8 rad

And since 1 rev = 2\pi rad

the angle convered in revolutions is

\theta=\frac{329.8 rad}{2\pi rad/rev}=52.5 rev

A projectile is launched at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 36.6 at an unknown height.
fgiga [73]

The vertical velocity of the projectile upon returning to its original is 17. 74 m/s

<h3>How to determine the vertical velocity</h3>

Using the formula:

Vertical velocity component , Vy = V * sin(α)

Where

V = initial velocity = 36. 6 m/s

α = angle of projectile = 29°

Substitute into the formula

Vy = 36. 6 * sin ( 29°)

Vy = 36. 6 * 0. 4848

Vy = 17. 74 m/s

Thus, the vertical velocity of the projectile upon returning to its original is 17. 74 m/s

A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger optical density. Whi
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

Explanation:

- When a ray of light crosses a boundary between two different materials, it undergoes refraction: the ray changes direction, and it also changes speed, according to the relationship:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where v is the speed of the ray of light in the material, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, n is the index of refraction of the material, which is larger for a medium with larger optical density. So, from the equation, we see that the larger the optical density, the smaller the speed of the wave.

- The frequency of the light does not depend on the properties of the medium, so it remains unchanged: therefore the statement

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

is correct.

- Moreover, the wavelength of the ray of light is related to the speed and the frequency by the equation

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where v is the speed and f the frequency. Since we have seen that v decreases and f remains constant, this means that the wavelength decreases as well, so the statement

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

is also correct.
