Two identical masses are connected to two different flywheels that are initially stationary. Flywheel A is larger and has more m

ass, but has hexagonal sections where material has been removed. The attached masses are released from rest and allowed to fall a height h.Which of the following statements about their angular accelerations is true? a. The angular acceleration of the two flywheels is different but it is impossible to tell which is greater. b. The angular acceleration of flywheel A is greater The angular acceleration of flywheel B is greater. c. Not enough information is provided to determine. d. The angular accelerations of the two flywheels are equal.

Answer:

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

Explanation:

Let's consider solving this exercise before seeing the final statements.

We use Newton's second law Rotational

τ = I α

T r = I α

T gR = I α

Alf = T R / I (1)

T = α I / R

Now let's use Newton's second law in the mass that descends

W- T = m a

a = (m g -T) / m

The two accelerations need related

a = R α

α = a / R

a = (m g - α I / R) / m

R α = g - α I /m R

α (R + I / mR) = g

α = g / R (1 + I / mR²)

We can see that the angular acceleration depends on the radius and the moments of inertia of the steering wheels, the mass is constant

Let's review the claims

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

b) False. Missing data for calculation

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

d) False. There is a dependency if the radius and moment of inertia increases angular acceleration decreases

Sometimes balance point may not be obtained on the potentiometer wire why

scoundrel [369]

Solution
Let a cell of emf E be connected across the entire length L of a potentiometer wire . Now , if the balance point is obtained at a length l during measurement of an unknown voltage

.
The balance point is not on the potentiometer wire - this statement means that

. In that case ,
l > L
V > E

Your 64-cm-diameter car tire is rotating at 3.3 rev/swhen suddenly you press down hard on the accelerator. After traveling 250 m

umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.76 rad/s^2

Explanation:

First, we convert the original and final velocity from rev/s to rad/s:

$v_o = 3.3\frac{rev}{s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} =20.73 rad/s$

$v_f = 6.4\frac{rev}{s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}=40.21 rad/s$

Now, we need to find the number of rads that the tire rotates in the 250m path. We use the arc length formula:

$D = x*r \\x = \frac{D}{r} = \frac{250m}{0.64m/2} = 781.25 rads$

Now, we just use the formula:

$w_f^2-w_o^2=2\alpha*x$

$\alpha =\frac{w_f^2-w_o^2}{2x} = \frac{(40.21rad/s)^2-(20.73rad/s)^2}{2*781.25rad} = 0.76 rad/s^2$

Superman is supposed to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Suppose that he obeys the normal laws of physics in this feat. Es

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

31.32 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let us assume the height of the Disque hall is 50 m

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 50}\\\Rightarrow u=31.32\ m/s$

In order to make the jump Superman's initial velocity must be greater than or equal to 31.32 m/s
