A dumbbell consists of two point-like masses M connected by a massless rod of length 2L. There are no external forces. If the du

mbbell rotates with angular velocity w while its center of mass moves linearly (translates) with velocity v such that v = ωL, the ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the translational (linear) kinetic energy is:

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy of the dumbbell is:

E_r = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where I is the moments of inertia of the two point-like system

I = 2Mr^2 = 2ML^2

E_r = ML^2\omega^2

The translation kinetic energy is:

E_t = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}M\omega^2L^2

Therefore the ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the translational (linear) kinetic energy is:

\frac{E_r}{E_t} = \frac{ML^2\omega^2}{\frac{1}{2}M\omega^2L^2} = 2

A motorboat traveling 4 m/s, East encounters a current traveling 3.0 m/s, North. a) What is the resultant velocity of the motorb
Nostrana [21]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity in East, v_1=4\ m/s

Velocity in North, v_2=3\ m/s

(a) The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\ m/s

(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m

Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{80\ m}{5\ m/s}

t = 16 seconds

(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,

x=v_2\times t

x=3\ m/s\times 16\ s

x = 48 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A person throws a ball straight up. He releases the ball at a height of 1.75 m above the ground and with a velocity of 12.0 m/s.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a) 1.22 s

b) 9.089 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-12}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.22\ s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=12\times 1.22+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 1.22^2\\\Rightarrow s=7.339\ m

The maximum height the ball will reach above the ground is 1.75+7.339 = 9.089 m

Rahul sits in a chair reading a book. Which force is equal to the force Rahul exerts on Earth?
CaHeK987 [17]
In fact, the force Rahul exerts on Earth corresponds to the force of gravity. But Rahul's weight is, in fact, the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on Rahul, and these two forces correspond to the action-reaction pair of Newton's third law, which states that the two forces are equal.

An Argon laser (λ = 5.0×102nm) shines down a silica glass fiber-optic cable with index of refraction 1.46. What is the speed of
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The speed of the laser light in the cable, c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of Argon laser, \lambda=5\times 10^2\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m

Refractive index, n = 1.46

Let c_f is the speed of the laser light in the cable. The speed of light in a medium is given by :

c_f=\dfrac{c}{n}

c_f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.46}

c_f=2.05\times 10^8\ m/s

or

c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of the laser light is 2.1\times 10^8\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A rigid, insulated tank contains steam at 3 MPa, 400 Celsius. A valve on the tank is opened, allowing steam to escape. The overa
enot [183]

Answer:

x=0.8

Explanation:

Defining our values we have

p_1=3Mpa\\T_1=400\° c\\q_{1-2}=0

Where p_1 is the pressure of the super heated steam

T_1 is the Temperature of the super heated steam

and q_{1-2} is the pressure in an adiabatic process.

State 1

v_1 = 0.09936m^3/Kg\\s_1=6.9213kJ/kg.K

State 2

s_2=s_1=6.9212

Note that here in state 2 the process is Reversible.

At the value where T_2 = 141\°c we have

v_2=(v_g)_{T_2}=0.4972m^3/kg

Through this values we can calculate the Fraction of steam,

x=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1}\\x=1-\frac{m_2}{m_1}\\x=1-\frac{v_1}{v_2}\\x=1-\frac{0.9936}{0.4972}\\x=0.8
