A horizontal platform in the shape of a circular disk rotates on a frictionless bearing about a vertical axle through the center

of the disk. The platform has a radius of 3.70 m and a rotational inertia of 274 kg·m2 about the axis of rotation. A 67.8 kg student walks slowly from the rim of the platform toward the center. If the angular speed of the system is 2.62 rad/s when the student starts at the rim, what is the angular speed when she is 0.456 m from the center?

Answer:

10.93 rad/s

Explanation:

If we treat the student as a point mass, her moment of inertia at the rim is

I_r = mr^2 = 67.8*3.7^2 = 928.182 kgm^2

So the system moment of inertia when she's at the rim is:

I_1 = I_d + I_r = 274 + 928.182 = 1202.182 kgm^2

Similarly, we can calculate the system moment of inertia when she's at 0.456 m from the center

I_2 = I_d + 67.8*0.456^2 = 274 + 14.1 = 288.1 kgm^2

We can apply the law of angular momentum conservation to calculate the post angular speed when she's 0.456m from the center:

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

\omega_2 = \omega_1\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 2.62*\frac{1202.182}{288.1} = 10.93 rad/s

An automobile of mass 1500kg moving at 25.0m/s collides with a truck of the mass 4500kg at rest. The car and the truck bounce of
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: Both forces are equal each other.

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision (based on the fact that the collision time is very small), total momentum must be conserved, and Newton's 3rd law must apply.

If the total momentum is conserved, the change in momentum for the automobile (caused by the truck) must be equal to the one caused to the truck by the car.

This change in momentum is caused by internal forces, which must be equal each other (even though of opposite signs).

Another way to explain this, is that by Newton's 3rd Law, the force applied by the automobile to the car, must be equal and opposite to the one the truck is applying to the car at the same time.

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain
RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process
