A rhinoceros beetle rides the rim of a disk rotating like a merry-go-round counterclockwise.

Physics
1 answer:

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

The Outlaw Run roller coaster in Branson, Missouri, features a track that is inclined at 84 ∘ below the horizontal and that span
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Ff = μmgcosθ

Ff = 0.28(1600)(9.8)cos(-84)

Ff = 458.9217...

Ff = 460 N

b)  ignoring the curves required at top and bottom which change the friction force significantly, especially at the bottom where centripetal acceleration will greatly increase normal forces and thus friction force.

W = Ffd

W = 458.9217(-49.4/sin(-84)

W = 22,795.6119...

W = 23 kJ

c) same assumptions as part b

The change in potential energy minus the work of friction will be kinetic energy.

KE = PE - W

½mv² = mgh - (μmgcosθ)d

v² = 2(gh - (μgcosθ)(h/sinθ))

v = √(2gh(1 - μcotθ))

v = √(2(9.8)(49.4)(1 - 0.28cot84))

v = 30.6552...

v = 31 m/s

Two identical tiny spheres of mass m =2g and charge q hang from a non-conducting strings, each of length L = 10cm. At equilibriu
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.247 μC

Explanation:

As both sphere will be at the same level at wquilibrium, the direction of the electric force will be on the x axis. As you can see in the picture below, the x component of the tension of the string of any of the spheres should be equal to the electric force of repulsion. And its y component will be equal to the weight of one sphere. We can use trigonometry to find the components of the tensions:

F_y:  T_y - W = 0\\T_y = m*g = 0.002 kg *9.81m/s^2 = 0.01962 N

T_y = T_*cos(50)\\T = \frac{T_y}{cos(50)} = 0.0305 N

T_x = T*sin(50) = 0.0234 N

The electric force is given by the expression:

F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{r^2}

In equilibrium, the distance between the spheres will be equal to 2 times the length of the string times sin(50):

r = 2*L*sin(50) = 2 * 0.1m * sin(50) 0.1532 m

And k is the coulomb constan equal to 9 *10^9 N*m^2/C^2. q1 y q2 is the charge of each particle, in this case, they are equal.

F_x = T_x - F_e = 0\\T_x = F_e = k*\frac{q^2}{r^2}

q = \sqrt{T_x *\frac{r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{0.0234 N * \frac{(0.1532m)^2}{9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2} } = 2.4704 * 10^-7 C
