A scientist makes a device to catch baseballs. A long bar of total mass 2.2kg and length 1.2m is fixed at its center. It catches

a ball of mass 0.15kg moving at v=16m/s in a box at one of its ends. Ignore the mass of the catcher box for this problem. What is the angular velocity of the system after the ball is caught?

Answer:

ωf = 4.53 rad/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the angular momentum:

Ib*ωb = (Ib + Ic)*ωf

Where

Ib is the inertia of the ball

ωb is the initial angular velocity of the ball

Ic is the inertia of the catcher

ωf is the final angular velocity of the system

We need to calculate first Ib, Ic, ωb:

Ib = mb*(L/2)^2=0.15*(1.2/2)^2=0.054 kg.m^2

Ic = mc/12*L^2=2.2/12*1.2^2=0.264 kg.m^2

ωb = Vb / (L/2) = 16 / (1.2/2) = 26.67 m/s

Now, ωf will be:

\omega f = \frac{Ib*\omega b}{Ib + Ic}  = 4.53rad/s

Can someone explain each of these?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Machine - A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form.

Mechanical advantage - Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system.

Inclined Plane - A plane set at an angle to the horizontal, especially a simple machine used to raise or lower a load by rolling or sliding.

Wedge - A piece of material, such as metal or wood, thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other for insertion in a narrow crevice, used for splitting, tightening, securing, or levering.

Screw - A cylindrical rod incised with one or more helical or advancing spiral threads, as a lead screw or worm screw.

Lever - A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point and used to transmit force, as in raising or moving a weight at one end by pushing down on the other.

Which occurs when a wave is reflected?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The wave can flip upside down.

Reflection is the bending of a wave when it cannot pass through. For example, plain mirrors which are flat, a ray of light hits the mirror and is reflected from the mirror since it cannot pass through  

When reflection occurs the speed and frequency of the wave does not change but the wave is flipped upside down.

The speed does not change because speed is affected by the change in medium the frequency also remains the same since the energy of the wave does not change.
