Answer:

(a) I_A=1/12ML²

(b) I_B=1/3ML²

Explanation:

We know that the moment of inertia of a rod of mass M and lenght L about its center is 1/12ML².

(a) If the rod is bent exactly at its center, the distance from every point of the rod to the axis doesn't change. Since the moment of inertia depends on the distance of every mass to this axis, the moment of inertia remains the same. In other words, I_A=1/12ML².

(b) The two ends and the point where the two segments meet form an isorrectangle triangle. So the distance between the ends d can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem:

d=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2}+(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}L^{2} } =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } L=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} L

Next, the point where the two segments meet, the midpoint of the line connecting the two ends of the rod, and an end of the rod form another rectangle triangle, so we can calculate the distance between the two axis x using Pythagorean Theorem again:

x=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L)^{2}-(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}L)  ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{8} L^{2} } =\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} L=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} L

Finally, using the Parallel Axis Theorem, we calculate I_B:

I_B=I_A+Mx^{2} \\\\I_B=\frac{1}{12} ML^{2} +\frac{1}{4}  ML^{2} =\frac{1}{3} ML^{2}

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.5 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid
bixtya [17]

Answer:

u_{s}=0.56

Explanation:

For the cat to stay in place on the merry go round without sliding the magnitude of maximum static friction must be equal to magnitude of centripetal force

F_{s.max}=\frac{mv^2}{r} \\

Where the r is the radius of merry-go-round and v is the tangential speed

but

F_{s.max}=u_{s}F_{N}=u_{s}mg

So we have

u_{s}mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\ u_{s}=\frac{v^2}{gr}\\ Where\\v=\frac{2\pi R}{T} \\So\\u_{s}=\frac{(\frac{2\pi R}{T} )^2}{gr} \\u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{gT^2}

Substitute the given values

So

u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 5.5m}{(9.8m/s^2)(6.3s)^2} \\u_{s}=0.56

According to the second law of thermodynamics, it is impossible for ____________. According to the second law of thermodynamics,
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

It's impossible for an ideal heat engine to have non-zero power.

Explanation:

Option A is incomplete and so it's possible.

Option B is possible

Option D is related to the first lae and has nothing to do with the second law.

Hence, the correct option is C.

The ideal engine follows a reversible cycle albeit an infinitely slow one. If the work is being done at this infinitely slow rate, the power of such an engine is zero.

We can also stat the second law of thermodynamics in this manner;

It is impossible to construct a cyclical heat engine whose sole effect is the continuous transfer of heat energy from a colder object to a hotter one.

This statement is known as second form or Clausius statement of the second law.

Thus, it is possible to construct a machine in which a heat flow from a colder to a hotter object is accompanied by another process, such as work input.
