Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a

ngular 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.What is the angular acceleration of the pencil when it makes an angle of 10.0 degrees with the vertical?

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

1 Write 7 next to the statements that are true.
Grace [21]

Answer: The pressure in a liquid dec reaches with depth. F

The pressure in a liquid increases with depth.

The upthrust on an object is larger when it is deeper in a pool. 7

The bottom of a dam is thinner than the top of a dam. F

The bottom of a dam is thicker than the top of a dam.

The pressure is bigger at the bottom of a lake because of the weight of water above it. 7

I think these are the answers.

A resistor with an unknown resistance is connected in parallel to a 13 Ω resistor. When both resistors are connected in parallel
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

R2 = 10.31Ω

Explanation:

For two resistors in parallel you have that the equivalent resistance is:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\\      (1)

R1 =  13 Ω

R2 = ?

The equivalent resistance of the circuit can also be calculated by using the Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}            (2)

V: emf source voltage = 23 V

I: current = 4 A

You calculate the Req by using the equation (2):

R_{eq}=\frac{23V}{4A}=5.75\Omega

Now, you can calculate the unknown resistor R2 by using the equation (1):

\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}\\\\R_2=\frac{R_{eq}R_1}{R_1-R_{eq}}\\\\R_2=\frac{(5.75\Omega)(13\Omega)}{13\Omega-5.75\Omega}=10.31\Omega

hence, the resistance of the unknown resistor is 10.31Ω
