Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²

Explanation:

Given that the moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is I₀.

The parallel axis theorem for moment of inertia states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass and the product of mass and the square of the distance between the two axes.

The moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is given to be I₀

The distance between the two axes is L/2 (total length of the rod divided by 2

From the parallel axis theorem we have

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²
