A disk of mass m and moment of inertia of I is spinning freely at 6.00 rad/s when a second identical disk, initially not spinnin

g, is dropped onto it so that their axes coincide. In a short time, the two disks are corotating. What is the angular speed of the new system

Answer:

The angular speed of the new system is 3\,\frac{rad}{s}.

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces between both disks, the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation is observed. Since axes of rotation of each disk coincide with each other, the principle can be simplified into its scalar form. The magnitude of the Angular Momentum is equal to the product of the moment of inertial and angular speed. When both disks begin to rotate, moment of inertia is doubled and angular speed halved. That is:

I\cdot \omega_{o} = 2\cdot I \cdot \omega_{f}

Where:

I - Moment of inertia of a disk, measured in kilogram-square meter.

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

\omega_{f} - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

This relationship is simplified and final angular speed can be determined in terms of initial angular speed:

\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \omega_{o}

Given that \omega_{o} = 6\,\frac{rad}{s}, the angular speed of the new system is:

\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(6\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)

\omega_{f} = 3\,\frac{rad}{s}

The angular speed of the new system is 3\,\frac{rad}{s}.

erastova [34]

Answer:

time rising = 34 / 9.8 = 3.47 sec

total time in air = 2 * 3.47 sec = 6.94 sec

(time rising must equal time falling)

R = 17 m/s * 6.94 s = 118 m

Can also use range formula

R = v^2 sin (2 theta) / g

tan theta = 34 / 17 = 2

theta = 63.4 deg

2 theta = 126.9 deg

sin 126.9 = .8

v^2 = 17^2 + 34^2 = 1445 m^2/s^2

R = 1445 * .8 / 9.8 = 118 m    agreeing with answer found above

Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on a 79 kg human standing on the surface of the Moon. (Th
Luden [163]

Answer:

F= 134.92 N

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the moon ,M = 7.4 x 10²² kg

The mass of the man ,m = 79 kg

The radius ,R= 1.7 x 10⁶ m

The force exerted by moon is given as

F=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{79\times 7.4\times 10^{22}}{(1.7\times 10^6)^2}\ N\\F=134.92 N

Therefore the force will be 134.92 N.

F= 134.92 N
