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>

Cuando una persona sube y baja una escalera, Cuanto vale su desplazamiento y cual es la medida de su trayectoria.
adoni [48]

Answer:

Primero, definimos el desplazamiento como la distancia entre la posición final y la posición inicial.

Así, si comenzamos abajo, luego subimos la escalera, y luego bajamos, la posición final y la posición inicial serán la misma

por lo que el desplazamiento es igual a cero.

La medida recorrida es el espacio total recorrido.

Es decir, si entre el principio y el final de la escalera hay una distancia D.

La persona que sube y baja, recorre esta distancia dos veces.

Entonces cuando una persona sube y baja la escalera, la medida de su trayectoria será 2*D.

If a car go from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0 seconds if its starting speed were 50 mi/
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

v = 87.57 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0

The final velocity of the car, v = 60 mi/hr

The time period of car, t = 8 s

                                         = 0.00222 hr

The acceleration of the car is given by the formula,

                                       a = (v -u) / t

                                           = 60 / 0.00222

                                            = 27027 mi/hr²

If the car has initial velocity, u = 50 mi/hr

The time period of the car, t = 5.0 s

                                         = 0.00139 hr

Using first equations of motion

                                      <em> v = u + at</em>

                                          = 50 + (0.00139 x 27027)

                                          = 87.57 mi/hr

Hence, the final velocity of the car, v = 87.57 mi/hr
