(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}

Zolol [24]
     Considering the unknown resistence as R and using the Ohm's First Law, we have:

i= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}  \\ 0.5= \frac{12}{R+10}  \\ R+10=24 \\ R=14-Ohm
 
     The equivalent resistence is given by the resistor series with the lamp resistence.

R_{eq}=R+10 \\ R_{eq}=14+10 \\ \boxed {R_{eq}=24-Ohm}

The message refers to which of the following?
Oliga [24]

The message is the information being communicated from one place to another.

It used to be called the "intelligence".  But as time went on, it became
harder to ignore the obvious fact that that was going too far, and the
label was changed to the more IQ-neutral "message".

A drag racer starts her car from rest and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2 for the entire distance of 523 m. How long did it take the car
ANEK [815]

Answer:

t = 13.7 s or t = 14 s with proper significant figures

Explanation:

The initial speed is 0 m/s since the car starts from rest, acceleration is 5.5 m/s2 and distance is 523 m.

Since we have initial speed, acceleration and distance we can use the following formula to find the time. We can now use algebra to work out our answer.

d = vt + \frac{1}{2}at²

523 = (0)t + (\frac{1}{2})(5.5)t²

523 = 2.8t²

186.8 = t²

13.7 s = t

(t = 14 s with proper significant figures)
