Two astronauts (each with mass 100 kg) are drifting together through space. They are connected to each other by a rope 5 m in le

ngth, and are moving in circles about a point halfway between them (i.e. their center of mass). Each astronaut has a speed of 2 m/s. They then pull on the rope, shortening the distance between them to 1 m. You can simplify the system by treating the astronauts as particles, and assuming the rope has negligible mass. Then solve the following; set up steps 3-7 separately for each part (you can use the same picture for all parts). a. What are the initial angular momentum and rotational energy of the system? b. What are the final angular momentum and rotational energy of the system? (hint: what is the new velocity of each astronaut?). C. How much work was done by the astronauts in shortening the rope?

Answer:

1000 kgm²/s, 400 J

1000 kgm²/s, 1000 J

600 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of astronauts = 100 kg

d = Diameter

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}

v = Velocity of astronauts = 2 m/s

Angular momentum of the system is given by

L=mvr+mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2mvr\\\Rightarrow L=2\times 100\times 2\times 2.5\\\Rightarrow L=1000\ kgm^2/s

The angular momentum of the system is 1000 kgm²/s

Rotational energy is given by

K=I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}(mr^2)\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow K=mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=100\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow K=400\ J

The rotational energy of the system is 400 J

There no external toque present so the initial and final angular momentum will be equal to the initial angular momentum 1000 kgm²/s

L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow 2mv_ir_i=2mv_fr_f\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{v_ir_i}{r_f}\\\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{2\times 2.5}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow v_f=10\ m/s

Energy

E_2=mv_f^2\\\Rightarrow E_2=100\times 10\\\Rightarrow E_2=1000\ J

The new energy will be 1000 J

Work done will be the change in the kinetic energy

W=E_2-E\\\Rightarrow W=1000-400\\\Rightarrow W=600\ J

The work done is 600 J

There is a current of 0.83 A through a lightbulb in a 120 V circuit. What is the resistance of this lightbulb?
Lemur [1.5K]

Considering the Ohm's law, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

<h3>Definition of current</h3>

The flow of electricity through an object, such as a wire, is known as current (I). Its unit of measure is amps (A). So the current is a measure of the speed at which the charge passes a given reference point in a specified direction.

<h3>Definition of voltage</h3>

The driving force (electrical pressure) behind the flow of a current is known as voltage and is measured in volts (V) (voltage can also be referred to as the potential difference or electromotive force). That is, voltage is a measure of the work required to move a charge from one point to another.

<h3>Definition of resistance</h3>

Resistance (R) is the difficulty that a circuit opposes to the flow of a current and it is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Ohm's law</h3>

Ohm's law establishes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

This law establishes that the intensity of the current that passes through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the same and inversely proportional to the resistance that it presents.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is expressed as:

I=\frac{V}{R}

Where:

  • I is the current measured in amps (A).
  • V the voltage measured in volts (V).
  • R the resistance that is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Resistance of the lightbulb</h3>

In this case, you know that the voltage between two points in a circuit is 120 V and there is a current of 0.83 A.

Replacing in the Ohm's Law:

0.83A=\frac{120 V}{R}

Solving:

0.83 A× R=  120 V

R=\frac{120 V}{0.83A}

<u><em>R= 144.58 Ω</em></u>

Finally, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction  was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)

Match the following vocabulary words with their definitions:
Ronch [10]

Correct matching:


1 acceleration --> rate of change in velocity, which is the change in velocity divided by the change in time

2. speed --> the rate at which an object changes position when traveling in a certain direction

4. gravity --> force of attraction between all masses in the universe

5. Inertia --> an object´s resistance to a change in motion

3. friction --> force of resistance acting between objects in contact and tending to dampen their motion

6. velocity --> the rate at which an object changes position

Give an example of a scientific hypothesis. Explain how you would test it, and how it could be falsified (proved untrue).
kaheart [24]

my hypothesis is that If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it will land butter side down.


I tested it by dropping 10 pieces of buttered toast off the table and noted on which side it landed


It could be falsified cause I just made all of this up. In essence, it's like flipping a coin, 50/50 chance so I could say that 5 landed butter up and 5 landed butter down.
