This problem describes an experimental method for determining the moment of inertia of an irregular shaped object such as the pa

yload for a satellite. A counter weight of mass m, is suspended by a cord wound around a spool of radius r, forming part of a turntable supporting the object. The turntable can rotate w/o friction. When the counterweight is released from rest it descends through a distance h, acquiring a speed v. Show that the moment of inertia I of the rotating apparatus is mr2 (2gh/v2 – 1).

Answer:

Explanation:

 The turntable that is rotating apparatus whose moment of inertia ( I )  is to be calculated is used as a spool of radius r. m mass is going down with acceleration a and rotating the apparatus with the help of cord with tension T  wound around it

For motion of weight m

mg - T = ma

and for the motion of spool or apparatus

Tr = I a/r

T = Ia/r²

mg - Ia/r²  = ma

mg   =  Ia/r² + ma

a (  I/r² + m ) = mg

When  the counterweight m  is released from rest it descends through a distance h, acquiring a speed v

v² = 2ah

a = v² / 2h

v² / 2h  (  I/r² + m ) = mg

(  I/r² + m ) = 2mgh / v²

 I/r²  = 2mgh / v²-  m

I = r² (2mgh / v²-  m )

= mr² ( 2gh/ v² -1 )

These types of electromagnetic waves are listed in order of increasing frequency:
xenn [34]

Answer:

B. X-rays

Explanation:

From the given choices, x-rays will have the highest energy of the given waves.

The energy of electromagnetic waves is highly dependent on their frequency and wavelength.

Electromagnetic waves with a high frequency and small wavelength will have higher energy compared to those with low frequency and high wavelength.

X-rays are one the most energetic waves on the periodic table. They have a very high frequency and low wavelength.

An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

y = x tanθ - 1/2 g x² / (u²cos²θ )

y = 0.25 , x = 0.5, θ = 40°

.25 = .50 tan40 - .5 x 9.8x x²/ u²cos²40

.25 = .42 - 2.0875/u²

u = 3.5 m / s.
