Wagon wheel. While working on your latest novel about settlers crossing the Great Plains in a wagon train, you get into an argum

ent with your co-author regarding the moment of inertia of an actual wooden wagon wheel. The 70-kg wheel is 120-cm in diameter and has heavy spokes connecting the rim to the axle. Your co-author claims that you can approximate using I = MR2 (like for a hoop) but you anticipate I will be significantly less than that because of the mass located in the spokes. To find I experimentally, you mount the wheel on a low-friction bearing then wrap a light cord around the outside of the rim to which you attach a 20-kg bag of sand. When the bag is released from rest, it falls with a downward acceleration of 2.95 m/s2.

Answer:

I = 16.7kgm²

Explanation:

Since, Torque is given by,

\tau = F*r = I*\alpha

here, I = Moment of inertia = ??

\alpha = angular acceleration of wheel = a/r

F = tangential tension acting on the wheel = T

a = acceleration of bag of sand = 2.95 m/s^2

r = radius of wheel = d/2 = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.60 m

from force balance on sand bag,

mg - T = m*a

T = m*(g-a)

m = mass of sand bag = 20 kg

So, I = T*r/\alpha = m*(g-a)*r/(a/r)

Using known values:

I = 20*(9.81 - 2.95)*0.60/(2.95/0.60) = 16.74

I = 16.7 kgm² = Moment of inertia of wheel experimentally

also, Moment of inertia of wheel theoretically(I') = M*r²

given, M = mass of wheel = 70 kg

I' = 70*0.60²= 25.2 kgm² = Moment of inertia of wheel theoretically

Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. how well did the results compar
valkas [14]
<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 9.9 kV, what is its resulting speed
beks73 [17]

Answer:

v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electron in terms of potential difference is given as:

K.E = eV--------------- equation (1)

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V = Potential Difference = 9.9 KV = 9900 Volts

The kinetic energy in general is given as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\--------- equation (2)

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

Therefore, comparing equation (1) and equation (2), we get:

\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = eV\\\\\frac{1}{2}(9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg)v^{2} = (1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(9900\ volts)\\\\v = \sqrt{34.81\ x\ 10^{14}} \\

<u>v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s</u>

What are the similarities and differences between novae and supernovae?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

A novae in astronomy means an explosion in the white dwarf star which had tapped enough gas from a companion star,hence it releases an incredible amount of energy which is Over a million times brighter than it normal stars.

A super novae on the other hand is a cosmic explosion that can be a billion times brighter than the normal.

From this one can see that a perculiar similarity between a novae and super novae is that both generate huge explosion and bright Ness, and a major difference is super novae release huge amount of brightness and energy more than the novae
