Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.1 Rotational dynamics problems. Suppose that you are holding a pencil bala

nced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the angular acceleration when it has an angle of 10.0 degrees from the vertical?

Answer:

when the pencil is balanced on a point it is motionless due to net force only acting trough the center, but when we release the position we are changing the location of a pencil hence due to turning affect it will expericence torque and the angular acceleration produced.

for the complete answer the length and mass of pencil should be known i am giving the general expression for the calculation of angular acceleration

Explanation:

<h3>τ=Iα</h3><h3>τ= torque</h3><h3>I = inertia</h3><h3>α= angular acceleration</h3>

where

I= mL^2/3 (by geometry of pencil)

when the pencil is released it will experience force due to weight

F=mgsinθ

so τ=Fxd

τ=mgsin(10°)x(L/2)

then.

α=τ/I

α=mgsin(10°)xL/2÷(mL^2)/3

You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.

Answer:

Mass of the planet = 1.48 × 10²⁵ Kg

Mass of the star = 5.09 × 10³⁰ kg

Explanation:

Given;

Diameter = 1.8 × 10⁷ m

Therefore,

Radius = \frac{\textup{Diameter}}{\textup{2}}  = \frac{\textup{1.8}\times10^7}{\textup{2}}

or

Radius of the planet = 0.9 × 10⁷ m

Rotation period = 22.3 hours

Radius of star = 2.2 × 10¹¹ m

Orbit period = 407 earth days = 407 × 24 × 60 × 60 seconds = 35164800 s

free-fall acceleration = 12.2 m/s²

Now,

we have the relation

g = \frac{\textup{GM}}{\textup{R}^2}

g is the free fall acceleration

G is the gravitational force constant

M is the mass of the planet

on substituting the respective values, we get

12.2 = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times M}{(0.9\times10^7)^2}

or

M = 1.48 × 10²⁵ Kg

From the Kepler's law we have

T² = \frac{\textup{4}\pi^2}{\textup{G}M_{star}}(R_{star})^3

on substituting the respective values, we get

35164800² = \frac{\textup{4}\pi^2}{6.67\times10^{-11}\timesM_{star}}(2.2\times10^{11})^3

or

M_{star} = 5.09 × 10³⁰ kg

What is the period of a pendulum that takes 5 seconds to make a complete back and forth vibration
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

5s

Explanation:

-A period is the time it takes to make one full back-and-forth swing.

-A period is calculated as the time taken for a complete swing divided by one cycle:

T=t/1c\\\\=5s/1\\\\=5s

Hence, the period of the pendulum is 5s

The ________________ of a machine is equal to the ratio of the work output to its input.
erastova [34]
Answer: mechanical efficieny.

Efficieny is also expressend as percent. The formula for mechanical efficiency as percent is the ratio work output to wor input times 100.

The ideal mechanical efficiency for a machine would be 1 or 100% which means that all the input work is converted into output work. But this is just an idealization as the friction and other losses of energy make it imposible to reach 100% efficiency in reality, so the mechanical efficiency of real machinces is less than 100% or 1.
