A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swin

g like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with an angular speed of 4.0 rad/s. neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod’s kinetic energy at its lowest position, (b) and how far above that position the center of mass rises.

Answer:

(A) 0.63 J  

(B) 0.15 m

Explanation:

length (L) = 0.75 m

mass (m) =0.42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s

To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)

I = Ic + mh^{2}  

Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis

h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod

I = (\frac{1}{12})(mL^{2} ) + m([tex]\frac{L}{2})^{2}[/tex]

I = (\frac{1}{12})(0.42 x 0.75^{2} ) + ( 0.42 x ([tex]\frac{0.75}{2})^{2}[/tex])

I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}

(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5Iω^{2}

  = 0.5 x 0.07875 x 4^{2} = 0.63 J   0.15 m

(B) from the conservation of energy

   initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

   Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

   at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0

   Ki + Ui = Uf

   Ki = Uf - Ui

 Ki =  mg(H-h)

where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass

     0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)

   (H-h) = 0.15 m

Car A, moving in a straight line at a constant speed of 20. meters per second, is initially 200 meters behind car B, moving in t
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
First, let's express the movement of Car A and B in terms of their position over time (relative to car B)
For car A: y=20x-200   Car A moves 20 meters every second x, and starts 200 meters behind car B
For Car B: y= 15x      Car B moves 15 meters every second and starts at our basis point

Set the two equations equal to one another to find the time x at which they meet:
20x - 200 = 15x
200 = 5x 
x= 40
At time x=40 seconds, the cars meet. How far will Car A have traveled at this time? 
Car A moves 20 meters every second:
20 x 40 = 800 meters

What properties does electrical resistance in a wire depend on?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can always  figure out something to say about a question like this if you have a formula to work with. Likely you do.

There are many ways it can be written

R = k * L / A

So here's the answer.

Resistance = k  which depends of the properties of the material used to make the wire * the  Length of the wire  divided by the cross sectional area of the wire.

A person jogs eight complete laps around a 400-m track in a total time of 14.2 min . calculate the average velocity, in m/s.
White raven [17]
Meters per second, and the time is in minutes, so 14.2 times 60(how many seconds in 1 minute) is 852 seconds then velocity is meters divided by seconds, so 400 divided by 852 is 0.47 m/s rounded to the hundredths place
