Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{see \: below}}}}}$

Explanation:

$\underline{ \bold{ \sf{To \: prove \: that \: kinetic \: energy = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}}$

Let us consider, a body of mass ' m ' is lying at rest ( initial velocity = 0 ) on a smooth surface. Let a constant force F displaces this body in its own direction by a displacement ' d '. Let 'v' be it's final velocity. The work done ' W ' by the force is given by :

$\sf{W = FD}$

⇒ $\sf{W = m \: \times a \: \times s} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: ( \: ∴ \: f \: = \: ma \: ; \: s \: = d)$

⇒ $\sf{W = m \: \times \frac{v - u}{t} \times \frac{u + v}{2} \times t \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: (∴ \: a = \frac{v - u}{t} and \: s = \frac{u + v}{2} \times t}$

⇒ $\sf{W = m \times \frac{ {v}^{2} - {u}^{2} }{2} }$

⇒ $\sf{W = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: (since, \: initial \: velocity(u) = 0)}$

The work done becomes the kinetic energy of the body. Thus, the kinetic energy of a body of mass ' m : moving with the velocity equal to 'v ' is 1 / 2 mv²

∴ $\sf{KE= \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }$

$\sf{ \underline{ \bold{ {proved}}}}$

1. Consider three objects: Object A is a hoop of mass m and radius r; Object B is a sphere

Zarrin [17]

a) Object C (the disk) has the greatest rotational inertia ( $\frac{3}{2}mr^2$ )

b) Object B (the sphere) has the smallest rotational inertia ( $\frac{4}{5}mr^2$ )

Explanation:

The moments of inertia of the three objects are the following:

1) For a hoop of negligible thickness, it is

$I=MR^2$

where M is its mass and R its radius. For the hoop in this problem,

M = m

R = r

Therefore, its moment of inertia is

$I=(m)(r)^2=mr^2$

2) For a solid sphere, the moment of inertia is

$I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2$

where M is its mass and R its radius. For the sphere in this problem,

M = 2m

R = r

Therefore, its moment of inertia is

$I=\frac{2}{5}(2m)(r)^2=\frac{4}{5}mr^2$

3) For a disk of negligible thickness, the moment of inertia is

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^2$

where M is its mass and R its radius. For the disk in this problem,

M = 3m

R = r

Therefore, its moment of inertia is

$I=\frac{1}{2}(3m)(r)^2=\frac{3}{2}mr^2$

So now we can answer the two questions:

a) Object C (the disk) has the greatest rotational inertia ( $\frac{3}{2}mr^2$ )

b) Object B (the sphere) has the smallest rotational inertia ( $\frac{4}{5}mr^2$ )

The resistivity of gold is 2.44 x 10-8 ohms.m at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

E=0.036 V/m

Explanation:

Given that

Resistivity ,ρ=2.44 x 10⁻⁸ ohms.m

d= 0.9 mm

L= 14 cm

I = 940 m A = 0.94 A

We know that electric field E

E= V/L

V= I R

R=ρL/A

So we can say that

E= ρI/A

Now by putting the values

$E=\dfrac{ 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 0.94}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.9\times 10^{-3})^2}$

E=0.036 V/m

Boyles law squeezing a balloon is one way to burst it. Why? ...?

KiRa [710]

According to Boyle's Law, volume is inversely proportional to pressure. It means if the volume of a gas goes up the pressure goes down and if the volume of the gas goes up the pressure goes down. When the pressure of air inside the inflated balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon. And also when the density inside is greater than the density outside. The molecules inside the balloon move and bang around the inner walls which produces force, which provides the pressure of an enclosed air.

A solid sphere has a radius of 0.200 m and a mass of 150.0 kg. how much work is required to get the sphere rolling with an angul

Allisa [31]

Here in this case we can use work energy theorem

As per work energy theorem

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object

Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.

Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^2 +\frac{1}{2} mv^2$
