A 2.5 kg , 20-cm-diameter turntable rotates at 80 rpm on frictionless bearings. Two 500 g blocks fall from above, hit the turnta

ble simultaneously at opposite ends of a diameter, and stick.

Answer:

the turntable's angular speed after the event is <em>50 rpm</em>

Explanation:

Since the turntable rotates on frictionless bearings, this means that there are no external torques that will act on the table. Therefore, the table and the two blocks can be considered as an isolated system.

Therefore we will use the conservation of angular momentum which states that the initial angular momentum of the system is equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

L_i = L_f

I_i ω_i  = I_f ω_f

ω_f = (I_i ω_i) / I_f                                 (1)

Therefore, we must determine the initial moment of inertia, before dropping two blocks I_i, and the final moment of inertia, after dropping the two blocks I_f.

The moment of inertia for a disk is

I_table = 1/2 M R²

I_i = 1/2 M R²

    = 1/2 (2.0)(0.1)²

    = 0.01 kg·m²                             (2)

After dropping the blocks, we will add their moment of inertia about the axle of rotation to the moment of inertia of the table, in order to get to the final moment of inertia

I_f = ∑ m_i r_i² = I_table + I_block,1 + I_block,2

I_f = I_t + I₁ + I₂

I_f = 0.01 + (m₁ r₁²) + (m₂ r₂²)

r₁ =  r₂ and m₁ = m₂

Thus,

I_f  = 0.01 + 2 m R²

I_f = 0.01 + 2(0.5)(0.1)²

I_f = 0.02 kg·m²                              (3)

Therefore, substitute (2) and (3) into (1):

ω_f =   (I_i ω_i) / I_f      

ω_f = (0.01)(100) / 0.02

<em>ω_f = 50 rpm</em>

<em></em>

Therefore, the turntable's angular speed after the event is <em>50 rpm</em>

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

the  force exerted by the seat on the pilot is 10766.7 N

Explanation:

The computation of the force exerted by the seat on the pilot is as follows:

F = Mg + \frac{MV^2}{R}\\\\= 70 \times 9.81  + \frac{70 \times 120^2}{100}\\\\= 10766.7 N

Hence, the  force exerted by the seat on the pilot is 10766.7 N

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is ________ the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to
Vsevolod [243]

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is <u>equal to </u>the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The force that attracts any two objects/bodies with mass towards each other is defined as gravitational force. Generally the gravitational force is attractive, as it always pulls the masses together and never pushes them apart.

The gravitational force can be calculated effectively using the following formula: F=GMmr^2  

where “G” is the gravitational constant.

Though gravity has the ability to pull the masses together, it is the weakest force in the nature.

The mass of the Earth and moon varies, but still the gravitational force felt by the Earth and Moon are alike.

87) Determine the equivalent resistances for the following circuits.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

15    and  11 ohms

Explanation:

First one =   For the parallel resistors 1 / (1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6) =   1/ (3/6 ) = 6/3 = 2 ohms   then add the 3 and the 10  = 15 ohms

second one    for the parallel portion   equiv =    (10+2)*24 / ( (10+2 + 24) = 8

  then add the  3 in series = 11 ohms
