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

The P value for the given data set is 25127. For finding P value, we have to must find the Z value.

<h3>How to get the z scores?</h3>

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

The Z value is calculated as;

Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma})

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Z = (4.007 - 3.6) / 0.607

Z = 0.67051

The P value for the given data set is 25127.

Answer:

<em>The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T</em>

Explanation:

<u>Simple Pendulum</u>

A simple pendulum is a mechanical arrangement that describes periodic motion. The simple pendulum is made of a small bob of mass 'm' suspended by a thin inextensible string.

The period of a simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Where L is its length and g is the local acceleration of gravity.

If the length of the pendulum was increased to 9 times (L'=9L), the new period of oscillation will be:

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{9L}{g}}

Taking out the square root of 9 (3):

T'=3*2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Substituting the original T:

T'=3*T

The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T

What would the speed of this wave be?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

c) 100,000 m/s

Explanation:

You need to take the same wave length from the top graph and bottom one, so let's take half a wave length then in the top one that is 0.005, but in the bottom one it's 2000/4 = 500 because they are smaller and there are 4 half waves before you get to 2000, whereas in the top one there is 1 half wave before you get to 0.005 on the graph.

Now use speed = distance / time

speed = 500 / 0.005 = 100 000 m/s
