Initially, a 2.00-kg mass is whirling at the end of a string (in a circular path of radius 0.750 m) on a horizontal frictionless

surface with a tangential speed of 5 m/s. The string has been slowly winding around a vertical rod, and a few seconds later the length of the string has shortened to 0.250 m. What is the instantaneous speed of the mass at the moment the string reaches a length of 0.250 m?

Answer:

v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using conservation of angular momentum.

The angular momentum \vec{L} is

\vec{L}  = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}

where \vec{r} is the position and \vec{p} the linear momentum.

We also know that the torque is

\vec{\tau} = \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt}  = \frac{d}{dt} ( \vec{r} \times \vec{p} )

\vec{\tau} =  \frac{d}{dt}  \vec{r} \times \vec{p} +   \vec{r} \times \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}

\vec{\tau} =  \vec{v} \times \vec{p} +   \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

but, as the linear momentum is \vec{p} = m \vec{v} this means that is parallel to the velocity, and the first term must equal zero

\vec{v} \times \vec{p}=0

so

\vec{\tau} =   \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

But, as the only horizontal force is the tension of the string, the force must be parallel to the vector position measured from the vertical rod, so

\vec{\tau}_{rod} =   0

this means, for the angular momentum measure from the rod:

\frac{d\vec{L}_{rod}}{dt} =   0

that means :

\vec{L}_{rod} = constant

So, the magnitude of initial angular momentum is :

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i| cos(\theta)

but the angle is 90°, so:

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i|

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = r_i * m * v_i

We know that the distance to the rod is 0.750 m, the mass 2.00 kg and the speed 5 m/s, so:

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 0.750 \ m \ 2.00 \ kg \ 5 \ \frac{m}{s}

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}

For our final angular momentum we have:

| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = r_f * m * v_f

and the radius is 0.250 m and the mass is 2.00 kg

| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f

but, as the angular momentum is constant, this must be equal to the initial angular momentum

7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s} = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f

v_f = \frac{7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}}{ 0.250 m * 2.00 kg}

v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}

An adiabatic nozzle has an inlet area of 1 m^2 and an outlet area of 0.25 m^2. Water enters the nozzle at a rate of 5 m^3/s and
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

v=20m/S

p=-37.5kPa

Explanation:

Hello! This exercise should be resolved in the next two steps

1. Using the continuity equation that indicates that the flow entering the nozzle must be the same as the output, remember that the flow equation consists in multiplying the area by the speed

Q=VA

for he exitt

Q=flow=5m^3/s

A=area=0.25m^2

V=Speed

solving for V

V=\frac{Q}{A} \\V=\frac{5}{0.25} =20m/s

velocity at the exit=20m/s

for entry

V=\frac{5}{1} =5m/s

2.

To find the pressure we use the Bernoulli equation that states that the flow energy is conserved.

\frac{P1}{\alpha } +\frac{v1^2}{2g} =\frac{P2} {\alpha } +\frac{v2^2}{2g}

where

P=presure

α=9.810KN/m^3 specific weight for water

V=speed

g=gravity

solving for P1

(\frac{p1}{\alpha } +\frac{V1^2-V2^2}{2g})\alpha  =p2\\(\frac{150}{9.81 } +\frac{5^2-20^2}{2(9.81)})9.81  =p2\\P2=-37.5kPa

the pressure at exit is -37.5kPa

An arch carries the thrust of weight to its _____(1)______. With a _____(2)______, the horizontal part of the structure supports
finlep [7]

Option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is an arch?</h3>

An arch is indeed a vertical curving construction that covers an elevated space that may or may not sustain the load above it or the pressure gradient against it

In the case of a horizontally arched, such as an embankment dam. While arches and vaults are often confused, A vault is defined as an ongoing arch forming a roof.

Option D satisfies the fill-in blanks option.

Hence option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

A solid yellow stripe is to be painted in the middle of a certain highway. If 1 gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet
marin [14]

Answer:

option A is correct

Explanation:

Given:

The length to be painted = m miles

The width to be painted = t inches

Area painted in 1 gallon = p square feet

Converting the every given dimension in feet, we have

length to be painted = m × 5280 feet

width to be painted = t/12 feet

area to be painted = (m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet

now, applying the unitary method, we have

p square feet is painted ⇒ 1 gallon

1 square feet is painted ⇒ 1/p gallon

(m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet  square feet is painted ⇒ [(m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet ] × 1/p gallon

thus, we get the gallons of paint required as 5820 mt/12p

hence option A is correct
