The frequency of a physical pendulum comprising a nonuniform rod of mass 1.15 kg pivoted at one end is observed to be 0.658 Hz.

The center of mass of the rod is 42.5 cm below the pivot point. What is the rotational inertia of the pendulum around its pivot point

Answer:

The rotational inertia of the pendulum around its pivot point is 0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}.

Explanation:

The angular frequency of a physical pendulum is measured by the following expression:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{I_{o}} }

Where:

\omega - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

m - Mass of the physical pendulum, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational constant, measured in meters per square second.

d - Straight line distance between the center of mass and the pivot point of the pendulum, measured in meters.

I_{O} - Moment of inertia with respect to pivot point, measured in kg\cdot m^{2}.

In addition, frequency and angular frequency are both related by the following formula:

\omega =2\pi\cdot f

Where:

f - Frequency, measured in hertz.

If f = 0.658\,hz, then angular frequency of the physical pendulum is:

\omega = 2\pi \cdot (0.658\,hz)

\omega = 4.134\,\frac{rad}{s}

From the formula for the physical pendulum's angular frequency, the moment of inertia is therefore cleared:

\omega^{2} = \frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{I_{o}}

I_{o} = \frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{\omega^{2}}

Given that m = 1.15\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, d = 0.425\,m and \omega = 4.134\,\frac{rad}{s}, the moment of inertia associated with the physical pendulum is:

I_{o} = \frac{(1.15\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.425\,m)}{\left(4.134\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}

I_{o} = 0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}

The rotational inertia of the pendulum around its pivot point is 0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}.

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.

As an object falls freely near the surface of the earth, its velocity?
Vsevolod [243]

If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,

-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.

-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.

A ball is thrown straight up with enough speed so that it is in the air for several seconds. Assume the positive direction is up
Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) v= 0 m/s b) v= 6.86 m/s

Explanation:

a) When the ball reaches to its highest point, under the influence of gravity, before starting to fall down, it momentarily comes to an stop (this is needed prior to change direction in any movement), so, applying the definition of acceleration, and replacing the acceleration a by g, we have:

vf = v₀ - g*t (1)

The minus sign means that the acceleration due to gravity is always downward, so if we assume that the positive direction is upwards it must be negative.

At the highest point, vf= 0.

b) Prior to solve this point, we need to know which is the time when the ball reaches to its highest point.

As we know vf=0, we can solve (1) for t, as follows:

th = v₀/g

Now, for a time that is 0.7 s before this time, applying the acceleration definition and solving for v again, we have:

v = v₀ -(g *(th-0.7 s)), but th= v₀/g, so we get:

v= v₀ -g((v₀/g)-0.7 s) = v₀ - v₀ + g*0.7 s

⇒ v=g*0.7 s = 9.8 m/s²*0.7 s

⇒ v = 6.86 m/s

Answer:

About 7.67 m/s.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is always conserved. Hence:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} E_i & = E_f \\ \\ U_i + K_i &= U_f + K_f\end{aligned}

Where <em>U</em> is potential energy and <em>K</em> is kinetic energy.

Let the bottom of the slide be where potential energy equals zero. As a result, the final potential energy is zero. Additionally, because the child starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. Thus:

\displaystyle U_i = K_f

Substitute and solve for final velocity:
\displaystyle \begin{aligned} mgh_i &= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 \\ \\  2gh_i &= v^2_f \\ \\ v_f &= \sqrt{2gh_i} \\ \\ &  =\sqrt{2(9.8\text{ m/s$^2$})(3.00\text{ m})} \\ \\ & \approx 7.67\text{ m/s} \end{aligned}

In conclusion, the child's speed at the bottom of the slide is about 7.67 m/s.
