At a given instant an object has an angular velocity. It also has an angular acceleration due to torques that are present. There

fore, the angular velocity is changing. Does the angular velocity at this instant increase, decrease, or remain the same (a) if additional torques are applied so as to make the net torque suddenly equal to zero and (b) if all the torques are suddenly removed

a) Constant

b) Constant

Explanation:

a)

We can answer this question by using the equivalent of Newton's second law of motion of rotational motion, which can be written as:

\tau_{net} = I \alpha (1)

where

\tau_{net} is the net torque acting on the object in rotation

I is the moment of inertia of the object

\alpha is the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity, so it can be written as

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta \omega is the change in angular velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

\tau_{net}=I\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

In this problem, we are told that at a given instant, the object has an angular acceleration due to the presence of torques, so there is a non-zero change in angular velocity.

Then, additional torques are applied, so that the net torque suddenly equal to zero, so:

\tau_{net}=0

From the previous equation, this implies that

\Delta \omega =0

Which means that the angular velocity at that instant does not change anymore.

b)

In this second case instead, all the torques are suddenly removed.

This also means that the net torque becomes zero as well:

\tau_{net}=0

Therefore, this means that

\Delta \omega =0

So also in this case, there is no change in angular velocity: this means that the angular velocity of the object will remain constant.

So cases (a) and (b) are basically the same situation, as the net torque is zero in both cases, so the object acts in the same way.

A grindstone of mass 12 kg and radius 0.3 m is initially rotating freely at 48 rad/sec. An axe is brought into contact with the
lesya [120]

Answer:

I = 0.54\,kg\cdot m^{2}

Explanation:

1) The moment of inertia of the grindstone is:

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (12\,kg)\cdot (0.3\,m)^{2}

I = 0.54\,kg\cdot m^{2}

A planet of mass m moves around the Sun of mass M in an elliptical orbit. The maximum and minimum distance of the planet from th
zzz [600]

Answer:

the relation between the time period of the planet is

T = 2π √[( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]

Explanation:

Given the data i  the question;

mass of sun = M

minimum and maximum distance = r1 and r2 respectively

Now, using Kepler's third law,

" the square of period T of any planet is proportional to the cube of average distance "

T² ∝ R³

average distance a = ( r1 + r2 ) / 2

we know that

T² = 4π²a³ / GM

T² = 4π² [( ( r1 + r2 ) / 2 )³ / GM ]

T² = 4π² [( ( r1 + r2 )³ / 8 ) / GM ]

T² = 4π² [( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]

T = √[ 4π² [( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ] ]

T = 2π √[( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]

Therefore, the relation between the time period of the planet is

T = 2π √[( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]

CP Bang! A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

 h = v₀ g / a

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the kinematic equations. As they indicate that the air does not influence the vertical movement, we can find the time it takes for the body to reach the floor

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The vertical start speed is zero

            t² = 2t / g

The horizontal document has an acceleration, with direction opposite to the speed therefore it is negative, the expression is

            x = v₀ₓ t - ½ a t²

Indicates that it reaches the same exit point x = 0

           v₀ₓ t = ½ a t2

           v₀ₓ = ½ a (2h / g)

           v₀ₓ = v₀

           h = v₀ g / a
