How would playing a game of soccer, baseball, or basketball be different if inertia didn’t exist?

1 answer:

5 0

This would be a funny game.

Inertia, according to first Law of Newton, means that when you throw a ball it will continue moving unless a force acts over it.

Without inertia, the ball instead of continue moving, would stop as soon as it leaves your hand or foot. You had to stay pasted to the ball unitl it reaches the desired destiny for it continue moving.

A thin uniform rod of mass M and length L is bent at its center so that the two segments are now perpendicular to each other. Fi

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

(a) I_A=1/12ML²

(b) I_B=1/3ML²

Explanation:

We know that the moment of inertia of a rod of mass M and lenght L about its center is 1/12ML².

(a) If the rod is bent exactly at its center, the distance from every point of the rod to the axis doesn't change. Since the moment of inertia depends on the distance of every mass to this axis, the moment of inertia remains the same. In other words, I_A=1/12ML².

(b) The two ends and the point where the two segments meet form an isorrectangle triangle. So the distance between the ends d can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2}+(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}L^{2} } =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } L=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} L$

Next, the point where the two segments meet, the midpoint of the line connecting the two ends of the rod, and an end of the rod form another rectangle triangle, so we can calculate the distance between the two axis x using Pythagorean Theorem again:

$x=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L)^{2}-(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}L) ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{8} L^{2} } =\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} L=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} L$

Finally, using the Parallel Axis Theorem, we calculate I_B:

$I_B=I_A+Mx^{2} \\\\I_B=\frac{1}{12} ML^{2} +\frac{1}{4} ML^{2} =\frac{1}{3} ML^{2}$

Which of the following pairings are more likely to be held together with the strong nuclear force?

aivan3 [116]

Which of the following pairings are more likely to be held together with the strong nuclear force

Explanation:

1.What does a strong nuclear force do in an atom? It repels electrons from other electrons. It repels protons from other protons. It attracts protons and neutrons.

2.The chain reaction requires both the release of neutrons from fissile isotopes undergoing nuclear fission and the subsequent absorption of some of these neutrons in fissile isotopes.

3.The strong nuclear force holds most ordinary matter together because it confines quarks into hadron particles such as the proton and neutron. In addition, the strong force binds these neutrons and protons to create atomic nuclei.
