Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of

the larger disks rigidly connected to each other with a common axis of rotation. System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks rigidly connected with a common axis of rotation. If the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B, how many of the smaller disks are in system B?

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4

In an electronic circuit, you need a capacitor to store 6.000e-9 J of energy. You have 1.50 volts available to charge it with. W
igomit [66]
The electrical energy stored in a capacitor is given by

E_{cap}= \frac{1}{2}CV^2

Since we need E=6.000e-9J, and V=1.5V, we can solve this equation for C:

2* \frac{6.000*10^{-9} }{1.5^2V}=C= 5.33*10^{-9}=5.33nF

a 1430 kg car speeds up from 7.50 m/s to 11.0 m/s in 9.30 s. Ignoring friction, how much power did that require?
iogann1982 [59]
Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

Original KE = (1/2) (1430 kg) (7.5 m/s)²  =  40,218.75 joules

Final KE  =  (1/2) (1430 kg) (11.0 m/s)²  =   86,515 joules

Work done during the acceleration = (40218.75 - 86515) = 46,296.25 joules

Power = work/time = 46,296.25 joules / 9.3 sec  =  4,978.1 watts .
_______________________________

One interesting thing to notice while you're (I'm) solving this problem
is the fact that although the car's speed only increased by about 47%,
its kinetic energy more than doubled ... increased by about 115%. 
That's because kinetic energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the
speed.

A copper part is heated. Does its mass, volume and density change?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

It's volume and density will increase but NOT the mass

Explanation:

Heating copper in its elemental form is a physical change.

The mass of any substance does not change during a physical change, so the mass of copper will stay the same. However, its volume will increase, so its density will decrease.

In each of two coils the rate of change of the magnetic flux in a single loop is the same. The emf induced in coil 1, which has
irinina [24]

Answer:

 Coil 2 have  235  loops

Explanation:

Given  

The number of loops in coil 1 is n ₁= 159

The emf induced in coil 1 is  ε ₁ = 2.78 V

The emf induced in coil 2 is  ε ₂ = 4.11 V

Let

n ₂  is the number of loops in coil 2.

Given, the emf in a single loop in two coils are same. That is,

ϕ ₁/n ₁= ϕ ₂ n ₂⟹ 2.78/159 = 4.11/ n ₂

n₂=\frac{159 * 4.11}{2.78}

n₂=235

Therefore, the coil 2 has  n ₂= 235  loops.
