Answer:

a) Explanation below. b) Explanation below

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of a force by a radius, while momentum is defined as the product of force by a distance. Mathematically we would have

T = F * r

M = F * d

where:

T = torque = [N*m]

M = moment = [N*m]

F = force =[N]

d = distance [m]

r = radius [m]

Although they have the same units, the difference between them is the application. For the case of torque this is always applied in parts that are in rotation, such as the shafts of cars, the shafts of pumps, torque in gears and etc. While the moment can be applied to a body without the need for it to rotate.

A couple, is as its name suggests a couple of forces of equal magnitude but opposite sense and do not share a line of action. A body under the action of a couple of forces tends to rotate the body without moving it from one point to another.

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

If it takes you 10 seconds to increase from 0 km/h to 50 km/h, what is your acceleration?
ZanzabumX [31]
Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time. Your Δv is +13.9, since you increased speed by 50 km/h which is 13.9 m/s, and your Δt is 10s. 13.9/10 = 1.39 m/s^2, the standard units for acceleration. Make sense?

How much kinetic energy does an object have that is moving at a rate of 30 m/s and has a mass of 4000 kg ?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

K = 1800 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the object, v = 30 m/s

Mass of the object, m = 4000 kg

We need to find the kinetic energy of the object. The formula for the kinetic energy is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4000\times 30^2\\\\K=1800000\\\\or\\\\K=1800\ kJ

So, the required kinetic energy is equal to 1800 kJ.

The moment of inertia is 24.8 kg m^2

Explanation:

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

I_r = \frac{1}{12}ML^2

where

M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod

L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod

Substituting,

I_r = \frac{1}{12}(24)(0.96)^2=1.84 kg m^2

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

I_b = mr^2

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball

r=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{0.96}{2}=0.48 m is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation

So we have

I_b = (50)(0.48)^2=11.5 kg m^2

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

I=I_r + 2I_b = 1.84+ 2(11.5)=24.8 kg m^2
