A meterstick is initially standing vertically on the floor. If the meterstick falls over, with what angular velocity will it hit

the floor? Assume that the end in contact with the floor experiences no friction and slips freely.

L = length of the meter stick = 1 m

h = height of center of mass of stick from bottom end on the floor = L/2 = 1/2 = 0.5 m

m = mass of the meter stick

I = moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end

w = angular velocity as it hits the floor

moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end is given as

I = m L²/3

using conservation of energy

rotational kinetic energy of meter stick as it hits the floor = potential energy when it is vertical

(0.5) I w² = m g h

(0.5) (m L²/3) w² = m g h

( L²) w² =  6g h

( 1²) w² =  6 (9.8) (0.5)

w = 5.4 rad/s

If the frog lands with a velocity equal to its average velocity and comes to a full stop 0.25s later, what is the frog’s average
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Average accelation = -4V

Explanation:

a=\frac{V-V0}{t}

V=0 m/s (because the frog stopped)

V0 = V (average velocity)

t= 0,25 s

So;

a=\frac{V-V0}{t}=\frac{0-V}{0.25}=-4V

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30 degre
katen-ka-za [31]
To calculate the velocity of the sound wave, we use this formula:
V = 331 + [0.6*T], 
Where V is the velocity and T represents temperature.
When the temperature is 36 degree Celsius, we have 
V = 331 + [0.6 * 36]
V = 331 + 21.6 = 352.6 
Therefore, V = 352.6 m/s.

3. What is the difference between Synthetic Oil, Semi-Syntheic oil (Blend), High milage motor oil, and conventional motor oil? ​
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When evaluating synthetic blends, it's helpful to define the terms “synthetic blend” and “semi-synthetic”. Generally speaking, synthetic blends and semi-synthetic refer to the same thing: an oil that uses a combination of conventional and synthetic base oils in its formulation.
