Solids have a definite lattice structure

The molecules of liquids and gases are quite apart that the attraction between them is quite weak compared to that of the solids. Hence, they only take the shape of their containers. On the other hand, solids have definite shape because of their well-structured lattice and that the molecules are closely packed together.

In Ancient Greece, athletes competing in the long jump used handheld weights called halteres to lengthen their jumps. You are a

The halter add the distance to the jump in meters is 0.55 m.

<h3>What is projectile?</h3>

When an object is thrown at an angle from the horizontal direction, the object is said to be in projectile motion. The object which follows the projectile motion is called the projectile.

The magnitude of velocity u =10.3 m/s, angle of jumping θ = 22.8 degrees.

Components of velocity in x and y direction are

Vx = 10.3 cos 22.8 = 9.5 m/s

Vy = 10.3 sin 22.8 = 4 m/s

Maximum Range of athlete achieved using halter is given by

R = u²sin2θ /g

where, u = initial velocity, θ is the angle of projection and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Substituting the values, we get

R = (10.3)² sin(2 x 22.8 °) / 2 x 9.81

R = 7.75m

At the peak of jump you throw two 5.5 kg masses horizontally behind you such that their velocity is zero in the ground's reference frame.

The momentum is conserved in this situation,

(M+2m)Vxo =MVx'

Vx' = (M+2m)/M x Vxo'

Change in x component of velocity ΔVx = Vx' -Vxo

Vxo = 2m/M x Vx

Vxo = 2 x 5.5 /78 x 9.5

Vxo = 1.34 s

Maximum height gained when final velocity is zero

Vy = 0 = Vyo -gt

time t = Vyo/g = 4/9.8 = 0.41s'

Increase in range by using of halters is

ΔR = ΔVx' x t

ΔR = 1.34 x 0.41

ΔR =0.55m

Thus, the halter add the distance to the jump in meters is 0.55 m.

Which property of sugar makes it different from white crystalline sand?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The property of sugar which makes it different from sand is that sugar can dissolve in water. Explanation: however the power of dissolving of sand is not present. This is due to the presence of interaction between sugar and water.

The wheel having a mass of 100 kg and a radius of gyration about the z axis of kz=300mm, rests on the smooth horizontal plane.a.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

a) 20 rad/s

b) 6 m/s

Explanation:

b) Force acting on the wheel is 200 N

mass of the wheel is 100 kg

From Newton's second law of motion, F = m × a

Where F is the net force acting on the body

m is mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

By substituting the values we get, a = 2 m/s²

As acceleration is constant, we can use the below formula for calculating the final velocity of the object

v = u + a × t

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

u = 0 (∵ it starts from rest)

By substituting the values we get

v = 0 + 2 × 3 = 6 m/s

∴ Speed of center of mass after 3 seconds = 6 m/s

a) As the wheel rotates about z-axis, radius of gyration will be the radius of wheel

∴ Radius of the wheel = 300 mm

Torque acting on the wheel about axis of rotation = 300 mm × 200 N =

60 N·m

Torque = (Moment of inertia) × (angular acceleration)

Assuming that the mass of spokes of the wheel to be negligible,

Moment of inertia of the wheel about axis of rotation = 100 × 300² × $10^{-6}$ = 9 kg·m²

Then,

60 = 9 × (angular acceleration)

∴ angular acceleration ≈ 6·67 rad/s²

As angular acceleration of the wheel is constant, we can use the below formula for calculation of final angular speed

$w_{f}$ = $w_{i}$ + α × t

Where

$w_{f}$ is the final angular velocity

$w_{i}$ is the initial angular velocity

α is the angular acceleration

t is the time taken

$w_{i}$ is 0 (∵ initially it starts from rest)

By substituting the values we get

$w_{f}$ = 6·67 × 3 = 20 rad/s

∴ Angular velocity of the wheel after three seconds = 20 rad/s
