Two hollow cylinders have the same inner and outer diameters and the same mass, but they have different lengths because one is m

ade of low density wood and the other of high density brass. Which cylinder has the greater moment of inertia about its cylindrical center axis?

Answer:

Both cylinders will have the same moment of inertia.

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a rigid body depends on the distribution of mass around the axis of rotation, i.e at what radius from the axis how much mass is located. What the moment of of inertia DOES NOT depend in is the distribution of mass parallel to the axis of rotation. This means that two hollow cylinders of the same mass but with different lengths will have the same moment of inertia!

For completeness, the momentum of inertia of a hollow cylinder is

I \approx mR^2

from which we clearly see that  I only depends on the mass and the radius of the hollow cylinder and not on its height; Hence, both the wooden and the brass cylinders will have the same moment of inertia.

57.0- g tennis ball is traveling straight at a player at 21.0 m/ s. The player volleys the ball straight back at 25.0 m/ s. If t
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:43.7 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of tennis ball is =57 gm

velocity of ball=21 m/s

The player volleys the ball straight back at 25 m/s(i.e. in opposite of initial direction)

time of contact=0.06 s

We know change in momentum(\Delta P) =Impulse(Fdt)

initial momentum=57\times 10^{-3}\times 21

final momentum=-57\times 10^{-3}\times 25

change in momentum

\Delta P=57\times 10^{-3}\times 21-(-57\times 10^{-3}\times 25)

\Delta P=57\times 10^{-3}\times 46=2.622 kg-m/s

Now 2.622=F_{avg}\times 0.06

F_{avg}=43.7 N

A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of
34kurt

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the runner is 1.73\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

A runner completes the 200 m dash in 24.0 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race. We need to find the centripetal acceleration as he runs the curved portion of the track. We know that the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

v is the velocity of runner

v=\dfrac{200\ m}{24\ s}\\\\v=8.34\ m/s

Centripetal acceleration,

a=\dfrac{(8.34)^2}{40}\\\\a=1.73\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the runner is 1.73\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

One end of a horizontal spring with force constant 76.0 N/m is attached to a vertical post. A 5.00-kg can of beans is attached t
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

a. The speed is 2.39 m/s

b. The acceleration of the block is 10.2\frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

First, we have to do the energy balance where we consider two states, the first where the spring remains still and the second when it is stretched 0.400m:

K_{1} +U_{1}+W_{ext}=K_{2}+U_{2}\\K_{1}=0\\U_{1}=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} _{1} =0\\W_{ext}=FΔx=(0.400m)\\

W_{ext}=20.4 Nm

U_{2} =\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} =\frac{1}{2} (76.0N/m)0.400^{2}=6.08Nm\\k_{2} =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} _{2}  \\\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{2}=W_{ext}-U_{2}\\v_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{W_{ext}-U_{2}}{m} } \\v_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{20.4Nm-6.08Nm}{2.5kg} } \\v_{2}=2.39 \frac{m}{s}

To determine, the acceleration we solve the following equation for a:

F=ma\\a=\frac{F}{m} =\frac{51.0N}{5.00kg}\\a=10.2\frac{m}{s^{2} }

How does density help scientists?
zimovet [89]
This quantity ρ is known as the density<span> , which is usually defined as the mass per unit volume: ρ = m/V. The volume units milliliter (mL) and cubic centimeter (cm</span>3<span>) are almost identical and are commonly used interchangeably. The general meaning of </span>density<span> is the amount of anything per unit volume.</span>
