Answer:
onservation of energy
U top = K bottom
(m + m)*g*L = 1/2*I*?^2 where I = m*(L/2)^2 + m*L^2 = 1.25*m*L^2
So 2m*g*L = 1/2*1.25*m*L^2*?^2
So ? = sqrt(3*g*/(1.25*L) ) = sqrt(12g/5L)
When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls
Just find the density of every metal and select the one with a density of 2.71 g/cm³ . This is:
Metal 1
ρ = m/V
ρ = 22.1 g / 3 cm³
ρ = 7.367 g / cm³
Metal 2
ρ = m/V
ρ = 42 g / 4 cm³
ρ = 10.5 g / cm³
Metal 3
ρ = m/V
ρ = 9.32 g / 5 cm³
ρ = 1.864 g / cm³
Metal 4
ρ = m/V
ρ = 8.13 g / 3 cm³
ρ = 2.71 g / cm³
<h2>R / Metal 4 was selected.</h2>
