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

Which option best describes electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to change atoms or molecules into ions?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.

It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.

Find the rms speed of the molecules of a sample of n2 (diatomic nitrogen) gas at a temperature of 31.5°c.
Artemon [7]
The rms speed can be calculated using the following rule:
rms = sqrt ((3RT) / (M)) where:
R is the gas constant =  8.314 J/mol-K
T is the temperature = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 degrees kelvin
M is the molar mass = 2*14 = 28 grams = 0.028 kg

Substitute with the givens to get the rms speed as follows:
rms speed = sqrt [(3*8.314*304.5) / (0.028)] = 520.811 m/sec

A 300 g ball and a 600 g ball are connected by a 40-cm-lon massless, rigid rod. The structure rotates about its center of me at
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

 KE = 1.75 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball, m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 Kg

mass of ball 2, m₂ = 600 g = 0.6 Kg

length of the rod = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Angular speed = 100 rpm= 100\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

                         =10.47\ rad/s

now, finding the position of center of mass of the system

    r₁ + r₂ = 0.4 m.....(1)

 equating momentum about center of mass

  m₁r₁ = m₂ r₂

   0.3 x r₁ = 0.6 r₂

   r₁ = 2 r₂

Putting value in equation 1

2 r₂ + r₂ = 0.4

 r₂ = 0.4/3

 r₁ = 0.8/3

now, calculation of rotational energy

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I_2\omega^2

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\omega^2 (I_1 +I_2)

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\omega^2 (m_1r_1^2 +m_2r^2_2)

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 10.47^2(0.3\times (0.8/3)^2 +0.6\times (0.4/3)^2)

 KE = 1.75 J

the rotational kinetic energy is equal to 1.75 J

Calculate the wavelength of each frequency of electromagnetic radiation: a. 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasti
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

The wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

The wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

The wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Explanation:

The wavelength can be determined by the following equation:

c = \lambda \cdot \nu  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency.  

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

<em>a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)</em>

Then, \lambda can be isolated from equation 1:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} (2)

since the value of c is 3x10^{8}m/s. It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.

\nu = 100.2 MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 100200000Hz

But 1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 100200000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{100200000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 2.99 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

<em>b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)</em>

<em> </em>

\nu = 1070kHz . \frac{1000Hz}{1kHz} ⇒ 1070000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 1070000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1070000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 280.3 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

<em>c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication) </em>

\nu = 835.6MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 835600000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 835600000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{835600000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 0.35 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Name the four fundamental fores at work inside an atom. Tell what each one does.​
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Four fundamental forces are gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak.

Explanation:

The gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, which produce significant long-range forces whose effects can be seen directly in everyday life and the strong and weak interactions, which produce forces at minuscule, subatomic distances and govern nuclear interactions.
