Answer:

If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone. Hope this helps!

A cylinder of mass 14.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant its center of mass has a speed o

aev [14]

Answer:

a) 567J

b) 283.5J

c)850.5J

Explanation:

The expression for the translational kinetic energy is,

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Substitute,

14kg for m

9m/s for v

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} (14) (9)^2\\= 567J$

The translational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 567J

(B)

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is,

$E_R = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2$

The expression for the moment of inertia of the cylinder is,

$I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2$

The expression for angular velocity is,

$w = \frac{v}{r}$

substitute

1/2mr² for I

and vr for w

in equation for rotational kinetic energy as follows:

$E_R = (\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{2} mr^2)(\frac{v}{r} )^2$

$= \frac{mv^2}{4}$

$E_R = \frac{14 \times 9^2 }{4} \\\\= 283.5J$

The rotational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 283.5J

(c)

The expression for the total energy is,

$E = E_r + E_R\\\\$

substitute 567J for E(r) and 283.5J for E(R)

$E = 567J + 283.5\\= 850.5J$

The total energy of the cylinder is 850.5J

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?

dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

$I = MR^2$

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

$\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}$

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

$\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}$

$\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}$

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

$\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})$

$\omega = 104.7rad/s$

Replacing our values we have that

$\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}$

$\Omega = 1.17rad/s$

The precession frequency is

$\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}$

$T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}$

$T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}$

$T = 5.4 s$

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s

A Sonometer wire of length

Scrat [10]

Answer:

-75 cm

Explanation:

At l ; F = 350 Hz

At l + 15 cm ; F = 280 Hz

I = 350

I + 15 = 280

280I = 350(I + 15)

280I = 350I + 5250

280I - 350I = 5250

-70I = 5250

I = - 75cm

The length is - 75 cm
