Answer:

$D_{s}$ ≈ 2.1 R

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation

I = ∫ r² dm

For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass

Sphere $Is_{cm}$ = 2/5 M R²

Spherical shell $Ic_{cm}$ = 2/3 M R²

The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass

I = $I_{cm}$ + M D²

Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation

Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter

D = 2R

Ic = $Ic_{cm}$ + M D²

Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²

Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)

Ic = 14/3 M R²

The sphere

Is = $Is_{cm}$ + M [ $D_{s}$ ²

Is = Ic

2/5 MR² + M $D_{s}$ ² = 14/3 MR²

$D_{s}$ ² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)

$D_{s}$ = √ (R² (64/15)

$D_{s}$ = 2,066 R

a racing car undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.00m/s2. if the net force causing the acceleration is 3.00 times 10^3 N, what

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 750Kg

Explanation:

Recall that force is the product of the mass M, of an object moving at a uniform acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

In this case, Mass = ?

Force = 3.00 x 10^3 N = (3.00 x 1000N)

= 3000N

Uniform acceleration = 4.00m/s^2

Force = Mass x Acceleration

3000N = Mass x 4.00m/s^2

Mass = (3000N/4.00m/s^2)

Mass = 750Kg (The SI unit of mass is kilograms)

Thus, the mass of the car is 750Kg

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 9

Number of electrons = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

Charge = Number of protons - Number of electrons

Charge = 8 - 10 = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

The ion is O²⁻

A large balloon of mass 210 kg is filled with helium gas until its volume is 329 m3. Assume the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3 and

Nastasia [14]

(a) See figure in attachment (please note that the image should be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise)

There are only two forces acting on the balloon, if we neglect air resistance:

- The weight of the balloon, labelled with W, whose magnitude is

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the balloon+the helium gas inside and g is the acceleration due to gravity, and whose direction is downward

- The Buoyant force, labelled with B, whose magnitude is

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity, and where the direction is upward

(b) 4159 N

The buoyant force is given by

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity.

In this case we have

$\rho_a = 1.29 kg/m^3$ is the air density

$V=329 m^3$ is the volume of the balloon

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

So the buoyant force is

$B=(1.29 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)=4159 N$

(c) 1524 N

The mass of the helium gas inside the balloon is

$m_h=\rho_h V=(0.179 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)=59 kg$

where $\rho_h$ is the helium density; so we the total mass of the balloon+helium gas inside is

$m=m_h+m_b=59 kg+210 kg=269 kg$

So now we can find the weight of the balloon:

$W=mg=(269 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2635 N$

And so, the net force on the balloon is

$F=B-W=4159 N-2635 N=1524 N$

(d) The balloon will rise

Explanation: we said that there are only two forces acting on the balloon: the buoyant force, upward, and the weight, downward. Since the magnitude of the buoyant force is larger than the magnitude of the weigth, this means that the net force on the balloon points upward, so according to Newton's second law, the balloon will have an acceleration pointing upward, so it will rise.

(e) 155 kg

The maximum additional mass that the balloon can support in equilibrium can be found by requiring that the buoyant force is equal to the new weight of the balloon:

$W'=(m'+m)g=B$

where m' is the additional mass. Re-arranging the equation for m', we find

$m'=\frac{B}{g}-m=\frac{4159 N}{9.8 m/s^2}-269 kg=155 kg$

(f) The balloon and its load will accelerate upward.

If the mass of the load is less than the value calculated in the previous part (155 kg), the balloon will accelerate upward, because the buoyant force will still be larger than the weight of the balloon, so the net force will still be pointing upward.

(g) The decrease in air density as the altitude increases

As the balloon rises and goes higher, the density of the air in the atmosphere decreases. As a result, the buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward will decrease, according to the formula

$B=\rho_a V g$

So, at a certain altitude h, the buoyant force will be no longer greater than the weight of the balloon, therefore the net force will become zero and the balloon will no longer rise.

Two identical loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.80 m from one speaker and 3.90 m from the other. What is t

NikAS [45]

Answer:

f = 632 Hz

Explanation:

As we know that for destructive interference the path difference from two loud speakers must be equal to the odd multiple of half of the wavelength

here we know that

$\Delta x = (2n + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

given that path difference from two loud speakers is given as

$\Delta x = 5.80 m - 3.90 m$

$\Delta x = 1.90 m$

now we know that it will have fourth lowest frequency at which destructive interference will occurs

so here we have

$\Delta x = 1.90 = \frac{7\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda = \frac{2 \times 1.90}{7}$

$\lambda = 0.54 m$

now for frequency we know that

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{343}{0.54} = 632 Hz$
