(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}

What is the rate of acceleration due to gravity on Earth?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Negative 9.8 meters per second squared

Explanation:

The negative is for the direction (down, towards the center of the earth). Often this can be estimated as -10 m/s^2 to make calculations easier.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 12 ft/s. at what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
Viefleur [7K]
<span>Answer: So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z. So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get 2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt) So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8 substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3. Part 2 sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt) So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or Ď€/6 radians. Substitute to get cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3) âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100 da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>

Gemiola [76]
The average speed of a moving object is the rate of change of a certain distance with respect with time. It is equal to the total distance that was traveled by the object over the total time it takes to travel that distance. For this problem we need to assume that the total distance that was traveled would be equal to 120 miles. So, for the first half of the distance or 60 miles at a speed of 30 miles per hour, the time taken would be two hours. For the remaining 60 miles at a speed of 60 miles per hour, 1 hour is total time traveled. So, we calculate the average speed as follows:

Average speed = total distance / total time
Average speed = 120 miles / 2 hr + 1 hr
Average speed = 40 mi / hr
