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

Answer:

troposphere

Explanation:

because troposphere is the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth . air is thicker at lower altitudes requiring more energy to push themselves to the sky . however , the air is thinner caused flight more fuel efficient .

A billion years ago, Earth and its moon were just 200000 kilometers apart. Express this distance in meters.​
Luda [366]

Answer:

The  value is  x =  200000000 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  distance between the earth and the moon is  d  =  200000 \  km

Generally ,

     1 \  km  =  1000 \  m

      200000 \  km \to x \  m

=>    x = \frac{200000 *  1000}{1 }

=>   x =  200000000 \  m

Which of the following statements are true? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

option (A)

Explanation:

According to the Archimede's principle, when a body s immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the loss in the weight of body.

The weight of liquid displaces by the body is equal to the loss in weight of body.

Thus, option (a) is true.
