Answer:

a. Rotational inertia: 5.21kgm²

b. Magnitude of it's angular momentum: 123.32kgm²/s

Explanation:

Length of the rod = 3.46m

Weight of the rod = 12.8 N

Angular velocity of the rod= 226 rev/min

a. Rotational Inertia (I) about its axis

The formula for rotational inertia =

I = (1/12×m×L²) + m × ( L ÷ 2)²

Where L = length of the rod

m = mass of the rod

Mass of the rod is calculated by dividing the weight of the rod with the acceleration due to gravity.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Mass of the rod = 12.8N/ 9.81m/s²

Mass of the rod = 1.305kg

Rotational Inertia =

(1/12× 1.305 × 3.46²)+ 1.305 ( 3.46÷2)²

Rotational Inertia =  1.3019115 + 3.9057345

Rotational Inertia = 5.207646kgm²

Approximately = 5.21kgm²

b. The magnitude of the rod's angular momentum about the rotational axis is calculated as

Rotational Inertia about its axis × angular speed of the rod.

Angular speed of the rod is calculated as= (Angular velocity of the rod × 2π)/60

= (226×2π) /60

= 23.67 rad/s

Rotational Inertia = 5.21kgm²

The magnitude of the rod's angular momentum about the rotational axis

= 5.21kgm²× 23.67 rad/s

= 123.3207kgm²/s

Approximately = 123.32kgm²/s

If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is 2.62 m, what is the frequency of this C3 note? (Round
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<em>The frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Frequency:</em><em> Frequency can be defined as the number of complete oscillation completed by a wave in one seconds. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz ( Hz)</em>

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = v/λ .......................... Equation 2

Where v = Speed, λ = wavelength, f = frequency

<em>Given: v = 343 m/s, λ = 2.62 m.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>f = 343/2.62</em>

<em>f = 131 Hz</em>

<em>Thus the frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.</em>

A proton is confined within an atomic nucleus of diameter 3.60 fm. part a estimate the smallest range of speeds you might find f
Cerrena [4.2K]
The answer for this problem would be:
Assuming non-relativistic momentum, then you have: 
ΔxΔp = mΔxΔv = h / (4) 
Δv = h / (4πmΔx) 
m ~ 1.67e-27 h ~ 6.62e-34,Δx = 4e-15 --> 
Δv ~ 6.62e-34 / (4π * 1.67e-27 * 4e-15) ~ 7,886,270 m/s ~ 7.89e6 m/s 
That's about 1% of the speed of light, the assumption that it's non-relativistic.

A 47.2 kg girl is standing on a 177 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,
Softa [21]

Answer:

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of girl; m_g = 47.2 kg

Mass of plank; m_p = 177 kg

Let the velocity of girl to ice be v_g,i

Let the velocity of plank to ice be v_p,i

Since the velocity of the girl is 1.53 m/s relative to the plank, then;

v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53

From conservation of momentum;

m_g × v_g,i = m_p × v_p,i

Thus;

47.2(v_g,i) = 177(v_p,i)

Dividing both sides by 47.2 gives;

v_g,i = 3.75(v_p,i)

v_pi = (v_g,i)/3.75

Thus, from v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53, we have;

v_g,i + ((v_g,i)/3.75) = 1.53

v_g,i(1 + 1/3.75) = 1.53

1.267v_g,i = 1.53

v_g,i = 1.53/1.267

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s
