A circular wooden loop of mass m and radius R rest on a flat horizontal friction less surface. A bullet, also of mass m, and mov

ing with a velocity V, strikes the loop and gets embedded in it. The thickness of the loop is much smaller than R. The angular velocity with which the system angular velocity with which the system rotates just after the bullet strikes the loop is______.

Answer:

w = vR/3

Explanation:

The centre of mass of the loop to bullet system is given by D / 4 from centre of loop, which is equivalent to R / 2 from its centre.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum , we have

m*v = 2*m* Vcm

Where v = velocity of bullet, Vcm = velocity of wood

Hence, we have  

Vcm = v2

Also, from the conservation of angular momentum about the centre of mass.

M*V*(R/2) = Ic*w - equation (I)

where Ic = moment of inertia and w = angular velocity

Ic for a ring is given by mr^2 + m(r/2)^2

Ic of a bullet is given by m(r/2)^2

Hence, the moment of inertia of the system  is given by the summation of the two moments of inertia Ic(ring) + Ic(bullet) which gives

Ic(system) = 3*m*R^2/2

Substituting back into equation (I), we have

m*v*R^2=3*m*R^2*w/2

Hence, we obtain w =vR/3

w=v3R

The magnitude​ R, measured on the Richter​ scale, of an earthquake of intensity I is defined as Requalslog StartFraction Upper I
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

R = 6.8

Explanation:

Given data:

Richter scaleR = log(\frac{I}{I_o})

where R - magnitude of earthquake of Richter scale

I - quake's intensity =  10^{6.8} \times I_o

I_o - minimum intensity earthquake

Plugging all information in the equation to get Richter's scale

R = log(\frac{10^{6.8} \times I_o}{I_o})

R = log(10^{6.8})

R = 6.8
