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

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

At what height h above the ground does the projectile have a speed of 0.5v?
maw [93]

Answer:

h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the projectile is 0.5 v. Let h is the height above the ground. Using the first equation of motion to find it.

v=u+at

v=u-gt

Initial speed of the projectile is v and final speed is 0.5 v.

0.5v=v-gt

t=\dfrac{v}{2g}

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Let h is the height above the ground. Using the second equation of motion as :

h=vt-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=v\dfrac{v}{2g}-\dfrac{1}{2}g(\dfrac{v}{2g})^2

h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}

So, the height of the projectile above the ground is \dfrac{3v^2}{8g}. Hence, this is the required solution.

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?
Alisiya [41]
We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
\Delta V = I R
where
\Delta V is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and R=330 \omega, so the potential difference is
\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V

If I keep F constant in F=ma, what is the relationship between m and a?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

If F is a constant, we can take f = 1

f = m×a

ma = 1

therefore we can say that force is hence proportinal to the product of mass and acceleration.

What is the frictional force between a box and the floor it is being pulled across if, the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.
Artyom0805 [142]

If the pulling is done parallel to the floor with constant velocity, then the box is in equilibrium. In particular, the weight and normal force cancel, so that

<em>n</em> = 38 N

The friction force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of 0.27, so that

<em>f</em> = 0.27 (38 N) ≈ 10.3 N

and so the answer is D.
