A bug flying horizontally at 0.65 m/s collides and sticks to the end of a uniform stick hanging vertically. After the impact, th

e stick swings out to a maximum angle of 5o from the vertical before rotating back. If the mass of the stick is 10 times that of the bug, calculate the length of the stick. Round your answer to the nearest whole centimeter.

The angular momentum is defined as,

L=I\omega

Acording to this text we know for conservation of angular momentum that

L_i=L_f

Where L_iis initial momentum

L_f is the final momentum

How there is a difference between the stick mass and the bug mass, we define that

Mass of the bug= m

Mass of the stick=10m

At the point 0 we have that,

L_i=mvl

Where l is the lenght of the stick which is also the perpendicular distance of the bug's velocity

vector from the point of reference (O), and ve is the velocity

At the end with the collition we have

L_f=(I_b+I_s)\omega

Substituting

L_f=(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})\omega

L_f=\frac{13}{10}ml^2w

m(0.65)l=\frac{13}{10}ml^2 \omega

\omega=\frac{1}{2l}

Applying conservative energy equation we have

\frac{1}{2}(I_b+I_s)\omega^2=mgh+10mgh'

\frac{1}{2}(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})(\frac{1}{2l})^2=mg(l-lcos\theta)+\frac{10}{2}mg(l-lcos\theta)

Replacing the values and solving

l=\frac{13}{0.54g}

Substituting

l=\frac{13}{0.54(9.8)}

l=2.45cm

1. A 25.35-g piece of iron absorbs 1562.75 Joules of heat energy, and its temperature
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Q = C M T        where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change

Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules

1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal

C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)

C = .096 cal / g deg C

Which color of light is diffracted at a greater angle from a diffraction grating, red or yellow light?
topjm [15]
The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength of light, with shorter wavelengths being diffracted at a greater angle than longer ones (in effect, blue and violet<span> light are diffracted at a larger angle than is red light).

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Explain why you cannot use mass or volume alone to identify substances.

Objects can have the same mass (but different <span>compositions). Only mass or volume cannot tell you if the object is solid or vo</span>lumes) or same volume (but different masses)
