Because of your success in physics class you are selected for an internship at a prestigious bicycle company in its research and

development division. Your first task involves designing a wheel made of a hoop that has a mass of 1.00 kg and a radius of 50.0 cm, and spokes with a mass of 10.0 g each. The wheel should have a total moment of inertia 0.280 kg⋅m2. (a) How many spokes are necessary to construct the wheel? (b) What is the mass of the wheel?

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the moment of inertia.

The given values can be defined as,

M = 1.0 kg

r = 0.5 m

m = 10 g

I = 0.280 kg.m^2

According to the definition of the moment of inertia applied to the exercise we can arrive at the equation that,

I = I_{rim} + n * I_{spoke}

Where n is the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel.

I_{rim} = M*r^2 = 1.0 * 0.5^2

I_{spoke} = \frac{1}{3} * m * r^2 = \frac{1}{3}* 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2

Replacing the values at the general equation we have,

0.280 = 1.0 * 0.5^2 + n * (1/3 * 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2 )

Solving for n,

n = 36

Therefore the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel is 36

PART B) The mass of the wheel is given by the sum of all masses and the total spokes, then

M_w= M + n*m

M_w = 1.0 + 36* 10 * 10^{-3} Kg

M_w = 1.36 Kg

Therefore the mass of the wheel must be of 1.36Kg

RideAnS [48]

Sarah's acceleration is -0.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction acting on Sarah has a magnitude which is given by:

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is Sarah's mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

Moreover, according to Newton's second law of motion, we know that the net force on Sarah is equal to its mass times its acceleration:

F=ma

where a is the acceleration

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on Sarah, we can say that the net force is equal to the force of friction, therefore:

F=-\mu mg = ma

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction has a direction opposite to the motion of Sarah. Solving for a, we find

a=-\mu g

And substituting the following values:

\mu = 0.05 (coefficient of friction)

g=9.81 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

we find:

a=-(0.05)(9.81)=-0.49 m/s^2

You should not go into the left side of the roadway when within 100 feet of the crossing. Moreover, you should also turn on your turn signal when within 100 of a turn. These precautions prevent accidents as it makes clear to other drivers what your intentions are and drivers making turns are not endangered.

ehidna [41]

The term that best describes how many waves that pass? It's frequency because how many waves are passed by a given point or time is called the waves frequency. I hope this helped you out on your assignment.
