A potter's wheel has the shape of a solid uniform disk of mass 13.0 kg and radius 1.25 m. It spins about an axis perpendicular t

o the disk at its center. A small 1.7 kg lump of very dense clay is dropped onto the wheel at a distance 0.63 m from the axis. What is the moment of inertia of the system about the axis of spin?

Answer:10.82 kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given

Mass of solid uniform disk M=13 kg

radius of disk r=1.25 m

mass of lump m=1.7 kg

distance of lump from axis r_0=0.63

Moment of inertia is the distribution of mass from the axis of rotation

Initial moment of inertia of disk I_1=\frac{Mr^2}{2}

I_1=\frac{13\times 1.25^2}{2}=10.15 kg-m^2

Final moment of inertia I_f=Moment of inertia of disk+moment of inertia of lump about axis

I_f=\frac{Mr^2}{2}+mr_0^2

I_f=10.15+1.7\times 0.63^2

I_f=10.15+0.674

I_f=10.82 kg-m^2

Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>


<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:


1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.  

2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.

5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>

How much force is needed to cause a 15 kilogram bicycle to accelerate at a rate of 10
Anarel [89]
Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)... that’s Newton’s 2nd law of motion.
Net force = (15kg) x (10 m/s squared)
Net force = 150 Newtons.
