Answer:

a) The angular momentum remains constant because the system is isolated

b) if the beetle walks

- In the direction of rotation of the disc, the angular velocity of the disc decreases.

- If the beetle goes in the opposite direction] to the disk the angular velocity increases

Explanation:

The angular momentum is

L = I w

For an isolated system the angular momentum must be preserved.

Let us define the system as formed by the beetle plus the disk, in this case when the beetle walks, the forces are an internal force (action and reaction), therefore the angular momentum is conserved. Let's write in two moments

Initial. Before the beetle movement

L₀ = I w₀

Final. When the beetle is moving

$L_{f}$ = I w + I₂ w₂

The moment is preserved

L₀ = $L_{f}$

I w₀ = I w + I₂ w₂

We cleared the final angular speed of the disk

w = w₀ - w₂ I₂ / I

In general, the moment of inertia of the beetle is less than the moment of inertia of the disc and its angular velocity is also small.

Let's examine the questions.

a) The angular momentum remains constant because the system is isolated

b) The angular velocity of the system changes according to the previous equation, if the beetle walks

- In the direction of rotation of the disc, the angular velocity of the disc decreases.

- If the beetle goes in the opposite direction] to the disk the angular velocity increases

Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R-0.520 m and ma

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.54454

104.00902 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of wheel = 100 kg

r = Radius = 0.52 m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

Mass of inertia is given by

$I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{100\times 0.52^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=13.52\ kgm^2$

Angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu fr}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu 50\times 0.52}{13.52}$

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}t\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}\times 6\\\Rightarrow 0=6.28318-11.53846\mu\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{6.28318}{11.53846}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.54454$

The coefficient of friction is 0.54454

At r = 0.25 m

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{0.54454 (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{0.54454 f\times 0.25}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 2\pi=0.06041f\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.06041}\\\Rightarrow f=104.00902\ N$

The force needed to stop the wheel is 104.00902 N

Part A What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 227 g block of copper at 283 °C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter

stellarik [79]

Answer:

T = 20.84°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

Heat Lost by Copper Block = Heat Gained by Aluminum Calorimeter + Heat Gained by Water

$m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w + m_aC_a\Delta T_a$

where,

$m_c$ = mass of copper = 227 g

$m_w$ = mass of water = 844 g

$m_a$ = mass of aluminum = 155 g

$C_c$ = specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 385 J/kg.°C

$C_w$ = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C

$C_a$ = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 890 J/kg.°C

$\Delta T_c$ = change in temperature of copper = 283°C - T

$\Delta T_w$ = change in temperature of water = T - 14.6°C

$\Delta T_a$ = change in temperature of aluminum = T - 14.6°C

T = equilibrium temperature = ?

Therefore,

$(227\ g)(385\ J/kg.^oC)(283^oC-T)=(844\ g)(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)+(155\ g)(890\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)\\\\24732785\ J - (87395\ J/^oC) T = (3544800\ J/^oC) T - 51754080\ J+ (137950\ J/^oC) T-2014070\ J\\\\24732785\ J +51754080\ J+2014070\ J = (3544800\ J/^oC) T+(137950\ J/^oC+(87395\ J/^oC) T\\\\78560935\ J = (3770145\ J/^oC) T\\\\T = \frac{78560935\ J}{3770145\ J/^oC}$
