(a) x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²

Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²

Kinetic energy is rotational.

Total kinetic energy is E = \frac{1}{2} I_1w_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}I_2w_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} w_0^2(m_1x^2 + m_2(L-x)^2)

Work done is change in kinetic energy.

To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.

m_1x - m_2(L-x) = 0\\\\x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.

Center of mass is at \frac{m_2L}{m_1 + m_2}

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound
adell [148]

Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 65 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. Which describes the acceleration? negati
hammer [34]

Answer:

we could use the formula, v=u+at,

65=25+a (10), a=4 , since the motion is declerating we have a=-4 m/s2

In Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces D.)act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then action B exerts an equal and  opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note from the statement above that the action force and the reaction force always act on different objects. Let's take an example: a man pushing a box. We have:

  • Action force: the force applied by the man on the box, forward
  • Reaction force: the force applied by the box on the man, backward

As we can see from this example, the action force is applied on the box, while the reaction force is applied on the man: this means that the two forces do not act on the same object. This implies that whenever we draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on an object, the action and reaction forces never appear in the same diagram, since they act on different objects.

Q3. You throw a ball into the air, it reaches a certain height and then comes back to you.
Grace [21]

The If a car is going round a curve , there is an acceleration because the direction of the velocity changes.

<h3>What is the direction of the velocity?</h3>

Now we know that if you throw the ball upwards, the motion is in opposite direction to gravity thus the ball is experiencing deceleration and the speed decreases. The velocity decreases and the acceleration is negative.

If the ball is coming down, then the ball is accelerated thus it speeds up and the direction of the acceleration is positive.

If a car is going round a curve, the vehicle is accelerating because the direction of the velocity changes even if its amount remains constant.

When a board is moving down a hill at 2 ms-1, it is experiencing an acceleration because the motion is in the same direction as gravity.

If a car is coming to a stop at a point, it experiences a deceleration and not an acceleration since the change of velocity with time is negative as the car comes to rest.
