Answer:
A. The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.
Explanation:
We must remember the definition of work, which says that work is equal to the product of mass by the distance displaced. In this case, the athlete only does work when he lifts the weight from the ground to the point where he holds the weight suspended.
So when he's holding the weight, he doesn't do any work.
Answer:
0.011 m.
Explanation:
Energy stored in the spring = Energy of the projectile.
1/2ke² = mgh ................ Equation 1
Where k = spring constant, e = extension or compression, m = mass of the projectile, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.
make e the subject of the equation
e = √(2mgh/k)............................. Equation 2
Given: k = 12 N/cm = 1200 N/m, m = 15 g = 0.015 kg, h = 5.0 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 2
e = √(2×0.015×5/1200)
e = √(0.15/1200)
e = √(0.000125)
e = 0.011 m.
That's what stars do all the time.
For example, in the sun (and MOST other stars), deep down in the center
of the sun's core, two atoms of Hydrogen get squashed together so hard
that they blend into one atom of Helium AND release some energy.
That's where the sun's energy all comes from. It's called "nuclear fusion".
It needs tremendous temperature and pressure to happen. We know how
to do it, but we can't control it. So far, the only thing we've ever been able
to use it for is Hydrogen bombs.
There are 92 elements on the Periodic Table that are found in nature,
plus another 20 or so that have been made in the laboratory, but only
a few atoms of them.
Answer:
0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of angular momentum,
angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact
L₁ = L₂
L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)
L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.
L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision
So,
L₁ = L₂
L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω
ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)
ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)
ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²
ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²
ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)
ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)
ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²
ω = + 0.893 rad/s
The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.
