Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0=1.00m and a mass M at temperature T=20.00°C. It can be

modeled as a physical pendulum as a rod oscillating around one end. By what percentage will the period change if the temperature increases by 10°C? Assume the length of the rod changes linearly with temperature, where L=L0(1+αΔT) and the rod is made of brass (α=18×10−6°C−1).

Answer:

The period will change a 0,036 % relative to its initial state

Explanation:

When the rod expands by heat its moment of inertia increases, but since there was no applied rotational force to the pendulum , the angular momentum remains constant. In other words:

ζ= Δ(Iω)/Δt, where ζ is the applied torque, I is moment of inertia, ω is angular velocity and t is time.

since there was no torque ( no rotational force applied)

ζ=0 → Δ(Iω)=0 → I₂ω₂ -I₁ω₁ = 0 → I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

thus

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ , (2) represents final state and (1) initial state

we know also that ω=2π/T , where T is the period of the pendulum

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ = (2π/T₁)/(2π/T₂)= T₂/T₁

Therefore to calculate the change in the period we have to calculate the moments of inertia. Looking at tables, can be found that the moment of inertia of a rod that rotates around an end is

I = 1/3 ML²

Therefore since the mass M is the same before and after the expansion

I₁ = 1/3 ML₁² , I₂ = 1/3 ML₂²  → I₂/I₁ = (1/3 ML₂²)/(1/3 ML₁²)= L₂²/L₁²= (L₂/L₁)²

since

L₂= L₁ (1+αΔT) , L₂/L₁=1+αΔT  , where ΔT is the change in temperature

now putting all together

T₂/T₁=I₂/I₁=(L₂/L₁)² = (1+αΔT) ²

finally

%change in period =(T₂-T₁)/T₁ = T₂/T₁ - 1 = (1+αΔT) ² -1

%change in period =(1+αΔT) ² -1 =[ 1+18×10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ *10 °C]² -1 = 3,6 ×10⁻⁴ = 3,6 ×10⁻² %  = 0,036 %

When it is at rotating at full speed, a disk drive in a certain old computer game system revolves once every 0.050 seconds. Star
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

α = 200*π rad/sec²

Explanation:

  • If the disk drive revolves once every 0.05 sec, this means that the angular velocity can be expressed as follows:

        \omega = \frac{2*\pi}{0.05s} = 40*\pi rad/sec

  • (just applying the definition of angular velocity)
  • Now, it the disk started from rest, and took two revolutions to reach to full speed, assuming that the angular acceleration is constant, we can find the angular acceleration applying this kinematic equation:

        \omega_{f} ^{2} -\omega_{0} ^{2} = 2*\alpha * \Delta\theta

  • where Δθ, is the angle rotated while it went from rest to full speed, i.e., 2 revolutions, or 2*π rads.
  • Replacing by the value that we found for ωf (as ω₀ = 0), we  can solve for α :

       \alpha =\frac{\omega_{f}^{2} }{2*\Delta\theta} = \frac{(40*\pi)^{2} }{2*2*2*\pi } =\\ \\ \alpha = 200*\pi rad/sec2

Helga [31]

Answer:3.23 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

\mu_s =0.330

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force F_s

F_s=ma_{min}

\mu_sN=ma_{min}

\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}

a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2

A student (m = 68 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

5.7141 m

Explanation:

Here the potential and kinetic energy will balance each other

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}

This is the initial velocity of the system and the final velocity is 0

t = Time taken = 0.04 seconds

F = Force = 18000 N

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}

From Newton's second law

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=m\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow 18000=68\frac{0-\sqrt{2gh}}{0.04}\\\Rightarrow \frac{18000}{68}\times 0.04=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}\\\Rightarrow 10.58823=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}

Squarring both sides

112.11061=2\times 9.81\times h\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{112.11061}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=5.7141\ m

The height from which the student fell is 5.7141 m
