A reasonable estimate of the moment of inertia of an ice skater spinning with her arms at her sides can be made by modeling most

of her body as a uniform cylinder. Suppose the skater has a mass of 64 kg . One eighth of that mass is in her arms, which are 60 cm long and 20 cm from the vertical axis about which she rotates. The rest of her mass is approximately in the form of a 20-cm-radius cylinder.
A) Estimate the skater's moment of inertia to two significant figures.
B) If she were to hold her arms outward, rather than at her sides, would her moment of inertia increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?

Answer:

a)  I = 1.44 kg m², b)  I = 3.18 kg m² ,  The moment of inertia increases

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a body is a scalar, additive quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of each part, if everything revolves around the same axis

The moment of inertia of a cylinder is

        I = ½ m r²

The moment of total inertia is

         I = I_body + 2 I_arm

         I = ½ M r² + 2 m_arm r²

The most body without arms is

         M = M - 1/8 M

         M = 64 - 1/8 64 = 64 (1-1 / 8)

         M = 56 kg

The mass of the arms is

         m = 8 kg

Each arm has a mass of m_arm = 4 kg

Calculate

a) The moment of inertia with the arms attached to the body

        I = ½ 56 0.2² + 8 0.2²

       I = 1.44 kg m²

b) With the arms the moment of inertia changes

     For the arms we use the parallel axes theorem

              I_arm = I_{cm} + m d²

Let's approach the arm with a thin stick

             I_{cm} = 1/12 m L²

The distance is

              d = L / 2 + 0.20

              d = 0.6 / 2 + 0.2

              d = 0.50 m

 

            I = ½ M r² + (1/12 m L² +  2 m_arm d²)

            I = ½ 56 0.2² + (1/12 * 8 0.3² +2 4 0.5²)

            I = 1.12 + (0.06 +2)

            I = 3.18 kg m²

The moment of inertia increases

An X-Ray tube is an evacuated glass tube, where the electrons are produced at one end and accelerated by a strong electric field
lawyer [7]

Answer:

a) ΔV = 25.59 V, b)  ΔV = 25.59 V,  c)  v = 7 10⁴ m / s,  v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴ ,

v/c% = 2.33 10⁻²

Explanation:

a) The speed they ask for electrons is much lower than the speed of light, so we don't need relativistic corrections, let's use the concepts of energy

starting point. Where the electrons come out

          Em₀ = U = e DV

final point. Where they hit the target

          Em_f = K = ½ m v2

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         e ΔV = ½ m v²

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2} mv²/e     (1)

If the speed of light is c and this is 100% then 1% is

         v = 1% c = c / 100

         v = 3 10⁸/100 = 3 10⁶6 m/ s

let's calculate

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2}  \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} (3 10^6 )^2 }{ 1.6 10^{-19} }

         ΔV = 25.59 V

b) Ask for the potential difference for protons with the same kinetic energy as electrons

             K_e = K_p

              K_p = ½ m v_e²

              K_p = \frac{1}{2}  9.1 10⁻³¹ (3 10⁶)²

              K_p = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ J

we substitute in equation 1

              ΔV = Kp / M

              ΔV = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              ΔV = 25.59 V

notice that these protons go much slower than electrons because their mass is greater

c) The speed of the protons is

             e ΔV = ½ M v²

             v² = 2 e ΔV / M

             v² = \frac{2 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ 25.59 }{1.67 \ 10^{-27} }

              v² = 49,035 10⁸

               v = 7 10⁴ m / s

Relation

        v/c = \frac{7 \ 10^4 }{ 3 \ 10^8}

        v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Final speed of the train is 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uniform acceleration of the train is, a = 1.5 m/s²

It starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s. We have to find the final velocity of the train. By using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

Here, train starts from rest so, u = 0

v=0+1.5\ m/s^2\times 5\ s  

v = 7.5 m/s

So, the final velocity of the train is 7.5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
