Answer:

10 feet

Explanation:

In a standard procedure, there should be an approximate value of 10 feet between the water pipe and the Earth. This is to prevent the contamination of water and also the corrosion of the water pipe. Most pipes are made of iron and in the presence of water, there can be a chemical reaction between the iron and water in the presence of oxygen.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

w = 4,786 rad / s ,  f = 0.76176 Hz

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the concept of angular momentum

       L = I w

The system is formed by the two discs, during the impact the system remains isolated, we have the forces are internal, this implies that the external torque is zero and the angular momentum is conserved

Initial Before sticking

      L₀ = 0 + I₂ w₂

Final after coupling

      L_{f} = (I₁ + I₂) w

The moments of inertia of a disk with an axis of rotation in its center are

      I = ½ M R²

How the moment is preserved

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I₂ w₂ = (I₁ + I₂) w

      w = w₂ I₂ / (I₁ + I₂)

Let's reduce the units to the SI System

      d₁ = 60 cm = 0.60 m

      d₂ = 40 cm = 0.40 m

      f₂ = 200 min-1 (1 min / 60 s) = 3.33 Hz

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w₂ = 2 π f₂

      w₂ = 2π 3.33

      w₂ = 20.94 rad / s

Let's replace

       w = w₂ (½ M₂ R₂²) / (½ M₁ R₁² + ½ M₂ R₂²)

       w = w₂ M₂ R₂² / (M₁ R₁² + M₂ R₂²)

Let's calculate

      w = 20.94 8 0.40² / (12 0.60² + 8 0.40²)

      w = 20.94 1.28 / 5.6

      w = 4,786 rad / s

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w = 2π f

      f = w / 2π

      f = 4.786 / 2π

      f = 0.76176 Hz

If the mass of an egg is 0.57kg and it is dropped, calculated the force using newton's 2nd law
nlexa [21]

F = ma

Acceleration in this case is acceleration due to gravity so

a = 9.8 m/s^2

and mass = 0.57kg

So..

F = (0.57)(9.8)

F = 5.586 or 5.56 N
