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

1. A 9000 kg van was stopped at a traffic light when it rear-ended with an 850 compact car moving to the east at a velocity of 5
____ [38]

Answer:

1.785 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum can be calculated using the expression below

M1 *V1 + M2 * V2 = (M1+M2) V3

M1= mass of van=9000 kg

M2= mass of car= 850kg

V3= velocity of entangled car

V1= Velocity of the van= 0

V2= velocity of the car= 5 m/ s

Substitute the values

(900×0) + (500×5)=( 900+500)× V3

2500=1400 V3

V3=2500/1400

V3= 1.785 m/s

Hence, velocity of the entangled cars after collision is 1.785 m/s

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

Your mom is making lunch which forces are acting on your mom
N76 [4]

The forces acting on your mom while cooking is Air resistance and the force of friction

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>1. Air resistance:</u>

  • In simple words, Air resistance can be stated as the type of friction  between the air and the other materials.
  • In this scenario, there will be an air resistance and the air hits the mom while cooking via the doors or windows

<u>2. The force of friction:</u>

  • In simple words, friction can be stated as, the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
  • While cooking the food mom would experience the friction since friction is the transfer of heat, and cooking is the process of receiving that heat.
