Answer:
v = 2.029 m/s
Explanation:
Given
L = 84.0 cm ⇒ R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m
m₁ = 0.600 kg
m₂ = 0.200 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s
v₁ = ?
v₂ = ?
Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).
In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.
then
Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J
Ef = Kf + Uf
⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²
⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464
⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464
Since
0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464 ⇒ v = 2.029 m/s
v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.
v₁ = v₂ = v ⇒ ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂ ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω
⇒ v = ω*R
Venus shares a similar size, surface composition, and has an atmosphere with a complex weather system. Venus is different from Earth because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and it’s rotation is very slow.
The slope of an object is given relative to an origin.
Answer:
It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.
Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.
Therefore:
- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J
- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.
In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.
Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.
then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:
a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)
Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0
Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.
if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s
and:
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t
Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)
And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.
You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)
