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}

Give an example of where you see the law of conservation of energy in your life
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down

A car starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 m/s/s for a time of 5.0 s. What is the final velocity of the car?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s/5.0sec

5.0sec×4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s×5.0m/s/5.0m/s

20m/s=v
