The height of the wood is 5 cm. The length is 2 cm and the width its 3 cm. Multiply that and you get 6 cm. The Volume formula is Length times Width times Height. 6 cm times 5 cm makes 30 cm, which is your width.

Answer:

hello the diagram relating to this question is attached below

a) angular accelerations : B1 = 180 rad/sec, B2 = 1080 rad/sec

b) Force exerted on B2 at P = 39.2 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Co = 150 N-m ,

<u>a) Determine the angular accelerations of B1 and B2 when couple is applied</u>

at point P ; Co = I* ∝B2'

150 = ( (2*0.5^2) / 3 ) * ∝B2

∴ ∝B2' = 900 rad/sec

hence angular acceleration of B2 = ∝B2' + ∝B1 = 900 + 180 = 1080 rad/sec

at point 0 ; Co = Inet * ∝B1

150 = [ (2*0.5^2) / 3 + (2*0.5^2) / 3 + (2*0.5^2) ] * ∝B1

∴ ∝B1 = 180 rad/sec

hence angular acceleration of B1 = 180 rad/sec

<u>b) Determine the force exerted on B2 at P</u>

T2 = mB1g + T1 -------- ( 1 )

where ; T1 = mB2g ( at point p )

= 2 * 9.81 = 19.6 N

back to equation 1

T2 = (2 * 9.8 ) + 19.6 = 39.2 N

What are all stars made of

ivolga24 [154]

Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores. Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth. They are the building blocks of galaxies, of which there are billions in the universe. It’s impossible to know how many stars exist, but astronomers estimate that in our Milky Way galaxy alone, there are about 300 billion.

A solid sphere of radius R is placed at a height of 30 cm on a15 degree slope. It is released and rolls, without slipping, to th

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The height is $h_c = 42.857$

A circular hoop of different diameter cannot be released from a height 30cm and match the sphere speed because from the conservation relation the speed of the hoop is independent of the radius (Hence also the diameter )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height is $h_s = 30 \ cm$

The angle of the slope is $\theta = 15^o$

According to the law of conservation of energy

The potential energy of the sphere at the top of the slope = Rotational kinetic energy + the linear kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} I w^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where I is the moment of inertia which is mathematically represented as this for a sphere

$I = \frac{2}{5} mr^2$

The angular velocity $w$ is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{v}{r}$

So the equation for conservation of energy becomes

$mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{2}{5} mr^2 ][\frac{v}{r} ]^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{2}{5} +1 ]$

$mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{7}{5} ]$

$gh_s =[\frac{7}{10} ] v^2$

$v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}$

Considering a circular hoop

The moment of inertial is different for circle and it is mathematically represented as

$I = mr^2$

Substituting this into the conservation equation above

$mgh_c = \frac{1}{2} (mr^2)[\frac{v}{r} ] ^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where $h_c$ is the height where the circular hoop would be released to equal the speed of the sphere at the bottom

$mgh_c = mv^2$

$gh_c = v^2$

$h_c = \frac{v^2}{g}$

Recall that $v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}$

$h_c= \frac{\frac{10gh_s}{7} }{g}$

$= \frac{10h_s}{7}$

Substituting values

$h_c = \frac{10(30)}{7}$

$h_c = 42.86 \ cm$
