A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.

The rod is initially at rest. A bullet traveling parallel to the horizontal surface and perpendicular to the rod with speed v strikes the rod at its center and becomes embedded in it. The mass of the bullet is one-fourth the mass of the rod.(a) What is the final angular speed of the rod? (b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the system after the collision to the kinetic energy of the bullet before the collision?

Answer:

A) ω = 6v/19L

B) K2/K1 = 3/19

Explanation:

Mr = Mass of rod

Mb = Mass of bullet = Mr/4

Ir = (1/3)(Mr)L²

Ib = MbRb²

Radius of rotation of bullet Rb = L/2

A) From conservation of angular momentum,

L1 = L2

(Mb)v(L/2) = (Ir+ Ib)ω2

Where Ir is moment of inertia of rod while Ib is moment of inertia of bullet.

(Mr/4)(vL/2) = [(1/3)(Mr)L² + (Mr/4)(L/2)²]ω2

(MrvL/8) = [((Mr)L²/3) + (MrL²/16)]ω2

Divide each term by Mr;

vL/8 = (L²/3 + L²/16)ω2

vL/8 = (19L²/48)ω2

Divide both sides by L to obtain;

v/8 = (19L/48)ω2

Thus;

ω2 = 48v/(19x8L) = 6v/19L

B) K1 = K1b + K1r

K1 = (1/2)(Mb)v² + Ir(w1²)

= (1/2)(Mr/4)v² + (1/3)(Mr)L²(0²)

= (1/8)(Mr)v²

K2 = (1/2)(Isys)(ω2²)

I(sys) is (Ir+ Ib). This gives us;

Isys = (19L²Mr/48)

K2 =(1/2)(19L²Mr/48)(6v/19L)²

= (1/2)(36v²Mr/(48x19)) = 3v²Mr/152

Thus, the ratio, K2/K1 =

[3v²Mr/152] / (1/8)(Mr)v² = 24/152 = 3/19

A spaceship travels at approximately 0. 25c with respect to earth. this means 24 hours at the spaceship will be x hours to us on
Blababa [14]

The time passed on earth is  mathematically given as

t' = 24.79 hrs

<h3>What is the time passed on earth?</h3>

Generally, the equation for is time  mathematically given as

t' = \gamma t

Where

\gamma = Lorentz\ factor \\\\\gamma = 1/ \sqrt {(1 - v^2/c^2)}

t' = t/ \sqrt {(1 - v^2/c^2)}

Therefore

t' = 24/ \sqrt {(1 - (0.25c/c)^2) }

t'= 24/ \sqrt {(1 - 0.25^2)

t' = 24.79 hrs

In conclusion, the time passed on earth

t' = 24.79 hrs

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object ________ the gain in momentum of another object.
Virty [35]

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁  = - (P'₂ -  P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

Suppose the electric field in problems 2 was caused by a point charge. The test charge is moved to a distance twice as far from
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

it is reduced four times.

Explanation:

By definition, the electric field is the force per unit charge created by a charge distribution.

If the charge creating the field is a point charge, the force exerted by it on a test charge, must obey Coulomb´s Law, so, it must be inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

So, if the distance increases twice, as the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the square of 2 is 4, this means that the magnitude of the force exerted on the test charge must be 4 times smaller.
