A potter's wheel has the shape of a solid uniform disk of mass 7 kg and radius 0.65 m. It spins about an axis perpendicular to t

he disk at its center. A small 2.1 kg lump of very dense clay is dropped onto the wheel at a distance 0.41 m from the axis.
What is the moment of inertia of the system about the axis of spin?

Answer:

1.832 kgm^2

Explanation:

mass of potter's wheel, M = 7 kg

radius of wheel, R = 0.65 m

mass of clay, m = 2.1 kg

distance of clay from centre, r = 0.41 m

Moment of inertia = Moment of inertia of disc + moment f inertia of the clay

I = 1/2 MR^2 + mr^2

I = 0.5 x 7 x 0.65 x 0.65 + 2.1 x 0.41 x 0.41

I = 1.47875 + 0.353

I = 1.832 kgm^2

Thus, the moment of inertia is 1.832 kgm^2.

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

If a ball is thrown alt 96 m/s, and it travels 3 seconds, what is the total distance the ball travelec
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 288 m

Explanation: 288 m is the correct answer because the question states that the ball is thrown at 96 m every second, and our question tells us that the ball travels 3 seconds. This means we have to multiply 96 x 3 = 288 m.
