Measurements of microtremors, slope of the land, and motion of tectonic plates predict earthquakes. But we can't predict WHEN accurately enough yet to make the prediction useful to the general public.

A 3-kg wheel with a radius of 35 cm is spinning in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center at 800 rev/s. A

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

Explanation:

given,

mass of wheel(M) = 3 Kg

radius(r) = 35 cm

revolution (ω_i)= 800 rev/s

mass (m)= 1.1 Kg

I_{wheel} = Mr²

when mass attached at the edge

I' = Mr² + mr²

using conservation of angular momentum

$I \omega_i = I' \omega_f$

$(Mr^2) \times 800 = ( M r^2 + m r^2) \omega_f$

$M\times 800 = ( M + m )\omega_f$

$3\times 800 = (3+1.1)\times \omega_f$

$2400 = (4.1)\times \omega_f$

$\omega_f = 585.37 \ rev/s$

The World-War II battleship U.S.S Massachusetts used 16-inch guns whose barrel lengths were 15 m long. The shells each of mass 1

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.

Explanation:

Let suppose that shells are not experiencing any effect from non-conservative forces (i.e. friction, air viscosity) and changes in gravitational potential energy are negligible. The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel can be estimated by Work-Energy Theorem, represented by the following formula:

$F\cdot \Delta s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2})$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Explosive force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Barrel length, measured in meters.

$m$ - Mass of the shell, measured in kilograms.

$v_{o}$ , $v_{f}$ - Initial and final speeds of the shell, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m = 1250\,kg$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{f} = 750\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\Delta s = 15\,m$ , then the explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is:

$F = \frac{m\cdot (v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2})}{2\cdot \Delta s}$

$F = \frac{(1250\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(750\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]}{2\cdot (15\,m)}$

$F = 23437500\,N$

The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.

A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. The distance between his waist and the bar is 0.905 m, as the drawing shows. At the top of

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

5.959 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of gymnast

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

$h_i$ = Initial height

$h_f$ = Final height

From conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh_f=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mg0=\frac{1}{2}m0^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh_i\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh_i}$

$h_i=2r$

$v=\sqrt{4gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{4\times 9.81\times 0.905}\\\Rightarrow v=5.959\ m/s$

Velocity of gymnast at bottom of swing is 5.959 m/s
