Answer:

False

Explanation:

The moment of inertia for a rigid body is given by

$I=\int \rho(r) r^2 dV$

where

$\rho(V)$ is the density distribution of the object

r is the distance from the axis of rotation of the object

Essentially, the moment of inertia does not depend only on the mass of the object, but also on its shape. For example: for a solid cylinder, the moment of inertia derived from the formula above is

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^2$

where M is the mass of the cylinder and R is its radius. As we see, I (moment of inertia) does not depend on the mass only: therefore, if two objects have same moment of inertia, this does not imply that they also have the same mass.

Why does water feel cool when it evaporates

Illusion [34]

First, it makes your skin feel cooler when it's wet. And when it evaporates it removes some heat. But sweat will only evaporate in an environment where there isn't muchwater in the air. In a place with high humidity, there're already lots of water molecules in the air.

Is it possible that a speed of 254 and a speed of 100 could be the same speed?

EastWind [94]

Not if both speeds are in the same units.

However, if the 254 is 'centimeters per time' and the 100 is 'inches per time',
then the speeds are equal.

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

$T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2$

$0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2} \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}$

Also;

$\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}$

Thus;

$k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}$

where;

$\delta$ = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

$k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}$

$k = 104.82\ \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

$T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3 \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0$
