When the car stops, inertia causes the person to continue forward at the speed of the car prior to stopping
Answer:
(A) 0.63 J
(B) 0.15 m
Explanation:
length (L) = 0.75 m
mass (m) =0.42 kg
angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s
To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)
I = Ic + m
Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis
h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod
I =
)^{2}[/tex]
I =
)^{2}[/tex])
I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}
(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5I
= 0.5 x 0.07875 x
= 0.63 J 0.15 m
(B) from the conservation of energy
initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0
Ki + Ui = Uf
Ki = Uf - Ui
Ki = mg(H-h)
where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass
0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)
(H-h) = 0.15 m
Hello!
Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.
Thank You!
Answer: D
Explanation:
Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.
To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:
Atomic weight = protons + neutrons
Potassium:
39 = 19 + N --> N = 20
Argon:
40 = 18 + N --> N = 22
An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.
