A student wants to determine the impulse delivered to the lab cart when it runs into the wall. The student measures the mass of

WINSTONCH [101]

The correct answer to the question is : A) The velocity of the cart after it hits the wall.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand impulse.

Impulse of a body is defined as the change in momentum or the product of force with time.

Mathematically impulse = m ( v- u ).

Here, v is the final momentum and u is the initial momentum.

Hence, we need the velocity of the cart after it hits the wall in order to calculate the impulse of the lab cart.

Change in Energy Quick Check

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

FORCE OF GRAVITY:

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. The statement is false.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. The statement is true.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. The statement is false.

But, this change is not significant.

KINETIC ENERGY:

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. The statement is false.

What is the kinetic energy of a 120-cm thin uniform rod with a mass of 450 g that is rotating about its center at 3.60 rad/s?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

1.05 J.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as

Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.

But,

v = αr .......................... Equation 2

Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.

Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 3.6(0.6)

v = 2.16 m/s.

Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)

Ek = 1.05 J.
