Answer:

The speed of center of mass is 3.64 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total mass of the group of particles, m = 35 kg

Total kinetic energy of group of particles, K_T= 313 J

The kinetic energy relative to the center of mass is, K = 81 J

We need to find the speed of center of mass. We know that the total kinetic energy is equal to the sum of rotational kinetic energy and the rotational kinetic energy.

K_T=E+K\\\\E=K_T-K

Since, E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_c^2, v_c is the speed of center of mass

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_c^2=K_T-K\\\\v_c=\sqrt{\dfrac{2(K_T-K)}{m}} \\\\v_c=\sqrt{\dfrac{2(313-81)}{35}}\\\\v_c=3.64\ m/s

So, the speed of center of mass is 3.64 m/s.

List the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength
Lilit [14]
The rays of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, optical rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

EDIT: He has these backwards, the shortest wavelength is created by Gamma-Rays and the longest is Radiowaves.

<span> Remember- high energy = short wavelength. </span>

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law
Yuri [45]
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.

Each year, an average person in the United States is exposed to a radiation level of _____.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0,2 rems

Explanation:

People are exposed to natural sources of radiation all the time. According to recent estimates, the average person in the United States receives an effective dose of approximately 3 mSv per year of natural radiation, which is equivalent to 0.3 rems. This amount includes cosmic radiation from outer space and is average because it varies depending on the region people are in.

The amount of radiation for a chest x-ray of an adult (0.01 rems) is approximately equal to 10 days of natural radiation to which we are all exposed every day.

Have a nice day!

An automobile engine can produce 153 N · m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration (in rad/s^2) produced if 85.2% of this
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

46.2 rad/s2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration works very similar to linear acceleration, it follows this equation:

\gamma = \frac{Mt}{J}

Where:

γ: angular acceleration

Mt: torque

J: moment of inertia of the load from its turning axis

Since we have the torque we just need the moment of inertia. We have to add together the moments of the drive shaft, tires, wheel walls and wheels.

The wheels act like disks. For disks the moment of inertia is:

J = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^2

Jwheel = \frac{1}{2} = 15 * 0.18^2 = 0.243 kg*m^2

The wheel walls act like annular rings, for these the moment of inertia is:

J = \frac{1}{2} * m * (re^2 - ri^2)

Jwall = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * (0.32^2 - 0.18^2) = 0.07 kg * m^2

The tread acts like a hoop, as in mass concentrated into a circunference, for these:

J = m * r^2

Jtread = 10 * 0.33^2 = 1.09 kg*m^2

The axle acts like a rod, which is the same as the disk:

Jaxle = \frac{1}{2} * 14.1 * 0.02^2 = 0.0028 kg*m^2

The drive shaft acts like a rod too:

Jshaft = \frac{1}{2} * 31.7 * 0.032^2 = 0.016 kg*m^2

SO, the total moment of inertia is:

J = 2*Jwheel + 2*Jwall + 2*Jtread + Jaxle + Jshaft

J = 2*0.243 + 2*0.07 + 2*1.09 + 0.0028 + 0.016 = 2.82 kg*m2

Finally the angular acceleration is:

\gamma = \frac{0.852 * 153}{2.82} = 46.2 \frac{rad}{s^2}
