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

Tom says that insulation keeps out the cold. Explain why this statement is incorrect. What should Tom have said?
Zina [86]
There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness".  "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

d. The force is doubled and the object’s mass is halved? 18. ||| A man pulling an empty wagon causes it to accelerate at 1.4 m/s
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a' = 0.35 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let say the empty wagon has mass "M"

now by newton's II Law we will have

F = Ma

now it is given that empty wagon is pulled with acceleration 1.4 m/s/s

now we will have

F = 1.4 M

now a child of mass three times the mass of wagon is sitting on the empty wagon

so here we have

F = (M + 3M) a

1.4 M = 4M a'

so we have

a' = 0.35 m/s^2

When Missourians carve their initials into the bark of a tree, the damage leaves the tree open to ____________________.
sasho [114]

Answer:

In fact, carving letters into a tree probably won't hurt it. ... In general, the tree will compartmentalize the wound and it will heal over. The initials that remain visible are essentially scar tissue, permanent scar tissue.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, when carving into the trunk of a tree the blade of a knife often penetrates the outer bark and cuts into the inner bark. ... In cases that the phloem is damaged all the way around the trunk (in a ring for example), the tree will slowly and eventually starve to death.
