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

What is meant by constructive and destructive interference
LenaWriter [7]
In waveform physics, constructive and destructive interference describes the way two different waves interact with one another. If two waves are aligned such that the peaks of both are in the same spot, the waves experience constructive interference - the two add together and become a single, more powerful wave. The opposite happens if the peak of one meets the trough of the other - the two cancel each other out, and the magnitude of the combined wave is lesser than the individual waves. There are also other, more complex versions of interference if they don’t align cleanly, but the most common descriptions of interference are the ones described above.

Hope this helps!
