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

Why is it important to understand the concept of density ?
N76 [4]
Density applies to many if not all aspects of life.  With density you can explain why ice floats.   You can explain why oxygen is on the earth, and not floating around in space( or being replaced by another gas).  You can also explain why heat rises while cold air sinks.

A cubical surface surrounds a point charge q . Describe what happens to the total flux through the surface if (c) the surface is
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Gauss law states that the electric flux is defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface in a plane perpendicular to the field.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

Φ=Q ϵo

Where;

Q is enclosed charge

ϵo is the permittivity of the free space

According to Gauss law, which states that the electric flux is defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface in a plane perpendicular to the field.

Φ=Q ϵo

Where;

Q is enclosed charge

ϵo is the permittivity of the free space

If the cube is transformed into a sphere the total flux in the electric field remains unchanged or remains the same. This is because the gaussian law does not postulate that electric flux is dependent on the object in a plane. Hence, the transformation of the cube to a sphere does not affect the electric flux generated in the field.
