A 780 g , 54-cm-long metal rod is free to rotate about a frictionless axle at one end. While at rest, the rod is given a short b

ut sharp 1000 N hammer blow at the center of the rod, aimed in a direction that causes the rod to rotate on the axle. The blow lasts a mere 2.5 ms .What is the rod's angular velocity immediately after the blow?

Answer:

The angular velocity is <em>35.5 rad/s.</em>

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the moment of Inertia for the rod

The moment of inertia, <em>I</em>, of a rod:

<em> $I=\frac{1}{12} ML^{2}$ .......... (1)</em>

where M = mass of rod (0.78 Kg); L = Length of rod (0.54 m).

$I=\frac{1}{12} (0.78)(0.54)^{2} =0.019\frac{Kg}{m^{2} }$

Step 2: Calculate the angular acceleration from Rotational kinetic notation

<em>F.r = I.α ........... (2)</em>

<em>where F is the force acting upon the rod; r is the half length of the rod; I is the moment of Inertia and; α is the angular acceleration.</em>

<em>∴ (1000 N)(0.27 m) = 0.019α</em>

<em>α = 270 Nm / 0.019 Kgm²</em>

<em>α = 14210.5 rad/s</em>

Step 3: We find the angular velocity by using the equation below:

<em>ωf = ωi + αt ......... (3)</em>

<em>where </em>

<em>ωf is the angular velocity after the blow</em>

<em>ωi is the angular velocity before the blow = 0</em>

<em>t is the time taken for the blow to occur = 2.5 ms</em>

<em>ωf = 0 + (14210.5 rad/s)(2.5 ms) = 35.5 rad/s.</em>

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0.6375 m/s

Explanation:

Let x be the distance of the man from the building

from the figure attached

initially the value of x=12

Given:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$

where the negative sign depicts that the distance of the man from the building is decreasing.

Now, Let The length of the shadow be = y

we have to calculate $\frac{dy}{dt}$ when x=4

from the similar triangles

we have,

$\frac{2}{12-x}=\frac{y}{12}$

or

$y=\frac{24}{12-x}$

Differentiating with respect to time 't' we get

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{-dx}{dt}$

or

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{dx}{dt}$

Now for x = 4, and $\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$ we have,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-4}^2\times (-1.7)$

or

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-0.6375m/s$

<u>here, the negative sign depicts the decrease in length and in the question it is asked the decreasing rate thus, the answer is </u><u>0.6375m/s</u>

A ball is thrown 20.0 m/s at an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal. Assume the ball is thrown at ground level.

The ball's horizontal component of velocity (ie it's horizontal speed) is 20 cos 40degrees. Without knowing the distance of the ball to the wall it's difficult to go further ...

the pull of gravity on mars is 3.7m/s^2. if a astronaut on mars lifts a 10 kg rock 1 m off the ground, just to see whats under i

Elanso [62]

Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula:

$PE_{grav} =mgh$

Where:
PEgrav = Gravitational potential energy
m= mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

On Earth acceleration due to gravity is a constant 9.8 but since the scenario is on Mars, the pull of gravity is different. In this case, it is 3.7, so we will use that for g.

So put in what you know and solve for what you don't know.
m = 10kg
g = 3.7m/s^2
h = 1m

So we put that in and solve it.
$PE_{grav} =mgh$
$PE_{grav} =(10kg)(3.7m/s^{2})(1m)$
$PE_{grav} =37J$

You charge an initially uncharged 65.7-mf capacitor through a 39.1-Ï resistor by means of a 9.00-v battery having negligible int

uysha [10]

In a RC-circuit, with the capacitor initially uncharged, when we connect the battery to the circuit the charge on the capacitor starts to increase following the law:
$Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})$
where t is the time, $Q_0 = CV$ is the maximum charge on the capacitor at voltage V, and $\tau = RC$ is the time constant of the circuit.
Using this law, we can answer all the three questions of the problem.

1) Using $R=39.1 \Omega$ and $C= 65.7 mF=65.7\cdot 10^{-3}F$ , the time constant of the circuit is:
$\tau = RC=(39.1 \Omega)(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)=2.57 s$

2) To find the charge on the capacitor at time $t=1.95 \tau$ , we must find before the maximum charge on the capacitor, which is
$Q_0 = CV=(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)(9 V)=0.59 C$
And then, the charge at time $t=1.95 \tau$ is equal to
$Q(1.95 \tau) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})=(0.59 C)(1-e^{-1.95})=0.51 C$

3) After a long time (let's say much larger than the time constant of the circuit), the capacitor will be fully charged, this means its charge will be $Q_0 = 0.59 C$ . We can see this also from the previous formule, by using $t=\infty$ :
$Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-\infty})=Q_0(1-0) = 0.59 C$
