A 0.5 m diameter wagon wheel consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7 kg and six spokes, each with a mass of 1.2 kg. 1.2 kg 7 k
Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg

Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg

Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m

Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m

Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.

We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :

I_1=m_1r^2

I_1=7\times (0.25)^2=0.437\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

I_2=\dfrac{m_2l^2}{3}

l = r

I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{3}

I_2=\dfrac{1.2\times (0.25)^2}{3}=0.025\ kgm^2

For 6 spokes, I_2=0.025\times 6=0.15\ kgm^2

So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :

I=I_1+I_2

I=0.437+0.15=0.587\ kgm^2

So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is 0.587\ kgm^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

State how much energy is transferred in each of the following cases: 2 grams of steam at 100 degrees Celsius condenses to water
dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When 2 gms of steam condenses to water at 100 degree latent heat of vaporization is releases which is calculated as follows

Heat released = mass x latent heat of vaporization

= 2 x 2260 = 4520 J

When 2 gms of water  at 100 degree is cooled to ice water at zero degree  heat  is releases which is calculated as follows

Heat released = mass x specific heat x( 100-0)

= 2 x 4.2 x 100 = 840 J

When 2 gms of water at zero degree  condenses to ice at zero degree latent heat of fusion  is releases which is calculated as follows

Heat released = mass x latent heat of fusion

= 2 x 334 = 668 J

When 2 grams of steam at 100 degrees Celsius turns to ice at 0 degrees Celsius heat released will be sum of all the heat released as mentioned above ie

4520 + 840 +668 = 6028 J
