Answer:

The torque is 26.75 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 0.97 kg

Length = 97 cm

Time = 0.20 s

Angular speed \omega= 2.8 rev/s = 2.8\times2\pi\ rad/s

We need to calculate the moment of inertia of rod at one end

Using formula of the moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{Ml^2}{3}

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{0.97\times(0.97\times10^{-2})^2}{3}

I=0.3042\ kg m^2

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

Put the value into the formula

\alpha=\dfrac{2.8\times2\pi}{0.20}

\alpha=87.964\ rad/s^2

We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=I\times\alpha

Put the value into the formula

\tau=0.3042\times87.964

\tau=26.75\ N-m

Hence, The torque is 26.75 N-m.

Answer:

Applied torque, T = 26.74 N-m

Given:

Mass of rod, M = 0.97 kg

Length of the rod, L = 97 cm = 0.97 m

Change in angular velocity, \Delta \omega = 2.8 rev/s = 2.8\times 2\pi = 17.59 rad/s

time, t = 0.20 s

Solution:

Now, we know that torque is given by:

T = I\alpha                          (1)

where

I = moment of inertia of the rod

\alpha  = angular acceleration

Using perpendicular axis formula to calculate the moment of inertia:

I = \frac{ML^{2}}{12}                    

Now, the base ball bat will be held from one end, therefore,  the moment of inertia about the axis at the end is given by:

I = \frac{ML^{2}}{12} + \frac{ML^{2}}{4} = \frac{ML^{2}}{3}

I = \frac{0.97\times (0.97)^{2}}{3} = 0.304 kg-m^{2}

Now, angular acceleration can be calculated as:

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{t} = \frac{17.59}{0.20} = 87.95 rad/s^{2}

Now, calculation of torque using eqn (1):

T = 0.304\times 87.95 = 26.74 N-m

torisob [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We put the charges in the ascending order as follows

1.53 P

3.26 P

4.66 P

5.09 P

6.39 P

where P is equal to 10⁻¹⁹

we round off given charges as follows

1.53 P → 1.6 P

3.26 P → 3.2 P

4.66 P → 4.8 P

5.09 P → 4.8 P

6.39 P → 6.4 P

We see that 2 nd to 4 th charges are integral multiples of first charge . That means these charges are supposed to be made of combination of first charge . So first charge appears to be minimum possible charge .

Hence this charge may exist on single electron.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No..

Explanation:

As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.

As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.

Is the acceleration due to gravity more or less atop mt. everest than at sea level? defend your answer?
Nataly [62]
The acceleration due to gravity is less at the top of mt. everest because its so far from the center of the earth .

how does the size of objects impact the pull of gravity between Earth and a baseball thrown into the air
Reil [10]
it's how much it weighs and how much force is pushing on it like a egg if i drop it the weigh can cause it to break and how much force the gravity is pushing on it.
