Answer:

a) τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m

b) E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J

c) P = 3.25511*10^21 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of earth r = 6.3781×10^6 m

The angular speed of earth w = 7.27*10^-5 rad/s

The time taken to reach above speed t = 5 yrs = 1.57784760 * 10^8 s

The mass of earth m = 5.972 × 10^24 kg

The inertia of sphere I = 2/5 * m* r^2

Solution:

angular acceleration of the earth from rest to w is given by α:

                               α = w / t

                               α = (7.27*10^-5) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)

                               α = 4.60754*10^-13 rad/s^2

The required torque τ is given by:

                               τ = I*α

                               τ = 2/5 * m* r^2 * α

 τ = 2/5 *(5.972 × 10^24) * (6.3781×10^6)^2 * (4.60754*10^-13)

 τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m

Power required P to turn the earth to the speed w is:

                          P = τ*w

                          P = (4.47746 * 10^25)*(7.27*10^-5)

                          P = 3.25511*10^21 W

Energy E required is :

                          E = P / t

                          E = (3.25511*10^21) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)

                          E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J

A hot cube of iron was heated up using 1500 J of thermal energy and was placed in a beaker of water. Before it was heated, the i
Mariana [72]

Answer:

451.13 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₂= Final temperature, t₁ = initial temperature.

Make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/m(t₂-t₁).............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1500 J, m = 133 g = 0.113 kg, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 45 °C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1500/[0.133(45-20)]

c = 1500/(0.133×25)

c = 1500/3.325

c = 451.13 J/kg.°C

ruslelena [56]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

The option for the question is "A" approximately.

  • <u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant (k) = 240 N/m

amount of the compression (x) = 0.40 m

To calculate:

Elastic potential energy (E)

We know;

<em>According to the formula;</em>

    E = \frac{1}{2} × k × x × x

   <u>E = </u>\frac{1}{2}<u> × k ×(x)²</u>

where;

E represents the elastic potential energy

K represents the spring constant

x represents amount of the compression in the string

So therefore,

Substituting the values in the above formula;

      E = \frac{1}{2} × 240 × (0.40)²

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 240 × 0.16

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 38.4

      E = 19.2 J or approximately 20 J

<u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>

A 20.00 kg lead sphere is hanging from a hook by a thin, massless wire 2.80 m long and is free to swing in a complete circle. Tr
Tema [17]

The minimum initial speed of the dart so that the combination makes a complete circular loop after the collision is 58.5 m/s.

<h3>Minimum speed for the object not fall out of the circle</h3>

The minimum speed if given by tension in the wire;

T + mg = ma

T + mg = m(v²)/R

tension must be zero for the object not fall

0 + mg = mv²/R

v = √(Rg)

<h3>Final speed of the two mass after collision</h3>

Use the principle of conservation of energy

K.Ef  = K.Ei + P.E

¹/₂mvf² = ¹/₂mv² + mg(2R)

¹/₂vf² = ¹/₂v² + g(2R)

¹/₂vf² = ¹/₂(Rg) + g(2R)

vf² = Rg + 4Rg

vf² = 5Rg

vf = √(5Rg)

vf = √(5 x 2.8 x 9.8)

vf = 11.7 m/s

<h3>Initial speed of the dart</h3>

Apply principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

5v = vf(20 + 5)

5v = 11.7(25)

5v = 292.5

v = 58.5 m/s
