A 1090 kg car has four 12.7 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to ro

tation of the wheels about their axles? Assume that the wheels have the same rotational inertia as uniform disks of the same mass and size.

Answer:

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018

Explanation:

To develop this exercise we proceed to use the kinetic energy equations,

In the end we replace

KE_{Total}=KE_{Translational}+KE_{Rotational}

KE_{Total}=\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+4*\frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^2

Here

I=\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2 meaning the 4 wheels,

So replacing

KE_{Rotational}=4\frac{1}{2}*(\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2)*(\frac{v}{r})^2=m*v^2

So,

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}*v^2}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}*v^2+m_{wheels}*v^2}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+m_{wheels}}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} =  \frac{10}{545+10}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018

Suppose you monitor a large number (many thousands) of stars over a period of 3 years, searching for planets through the transit
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.

5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).

6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.

Explanation:

The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:

1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.

2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.

3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.

4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.

A stone with a mass of 0.100kg rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 2.50g traveling horizontally at 500
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of stone (M) = 0.100 kg

mass of bullet (m) = 2.50 g = 2.5  ×10 ⁻³ kg

initial velocity of stone (u_{stone}) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity of bullet (u_{bullet}) = (500 m/s)i

Speed of the bullet after collision (v_{bullet}) = (300 m/s) j

Suppose we represent (v_{stone}) to be the velocity of the stone after the truck, then:

From linear momentum, the law of conservation can be applied which is expressed as:

m*u_{bullet} + M*{u_{stone}}= mv_{bullet}+Mv_{stone}

(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i+0 = (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j + (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}

(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i- (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j=  (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}

v_{stone}= (1.25\  kg.m/s)i-(0.75\ kg m/s)j

v_{stone}= (12.5\  m/s)i-(7.5\ m/s)j

∴

The magnitude now is:

v_{stone}=\sqrt{ (12.5\  m/s)^2-(7.5\ m/s)^2}

\mathbf{v_{stone}= 14.6 \ m/s}

Using the tangent of an angle to determine the direction of the velocity after the struck;

Let θ represent the direction:

\theta = tan^{-1} (\dfrac{-7.5}{12.5})

\mathbf{\theta = 30.96^0 \ below \ the \ horizontal\ level}
