A 30 kg mass and a 20 kg mass are joined by a light rigid rod and this system is free to rotate in the plane of the page about a

xis through A and perpendicular to the page. The 30 kg mass is 0.2 m from A and the 20-kg mass is 0.4 m from A. Treating the masses as point masses and assuming the system rotates at 5 rad/s about A, what is the total kinetic energy?

55 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as: 0.5MV^2 where M is the mass and V is the speed of rotation. Since the masses are point masses, we calculate the point mass for each mass.

M1 = 30*0.2^2 = 1.2kgm^2

M2 = 20*0.4^2 = 3.2kgm^2

V = 5 rad/s

Calculating using the formula above, we obtain :

0.5(1.2+3.2)5^2 =0.5*4.4*25 = 55 J

Answer:

  K = 55 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a scalar therefore it is an additive quantity

       K = ½ I₁ w₁² + ½ I₂ w₂²

The moment of inertia of a particular is

      I = m r²

      I₁ = 30 0.2² = 1.2   kg m²

      I₂ = 20 0.4² = 3.2  kg m²

As the body is joined by a rigid rod they both have the same angular velocity

      K = ½ (I₁ + I₂) w²

Let's calculate

      K = ½ (1.2 + 3.2) 5²

       K = 55 J

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg − N = m v²/r

At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = m v²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)

v = 11.8 m/s

How is work calculated?
BartSMP [9]

Work is force times distance. If there's no distance, there's no work being done.

A resistor is connected to a 36v power supply. An ammeter measures a current of 2.0 A going through it. Determine the resistance
m_a_m_a [10]

R = 18 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

V = 36 volts

I = 2.0 A

R = ?

Use Ohm's law to solve for the resistance:

V = IR

or

R = V/I

= (36 volts)/(2.0 A)

= 18 ohms
