Angular momentum is conserved, just before the clay hits and just after;
<span>mv(L/2) = Iw </span>
<span>I is the combined moment of inertia of the rod, (1/12)ML^2 , and the clay at the tip, m(L/2)^2 ; </span>
<span>I = [(1/12)ML^2 + m(L/2)^2] </span>
<span>Immediately after the collision the kinetic energy of rod + clay swings the rod up so the clay rises to a height "h" above its lowest point, giving it potential energy, mgh. From energy conservation in this phase of the problem; </span>
<span>(1/2)Iw^2 = mgh </span>
<span>Use the "w" found in the conservation of momentum above; and solve for "h" </span>
<span>h = mv^2L^2/8gI </span>
<span>Next, get the angle by noting it is related to "h" as; </span>
<span>h = (L/2) - (L/2)Cos() </span>
<span>So finally </span>
<span>Cos() = 1- 2h/L = 1 - mv^2L/4gI </span>
<span>m=mass of clay </span>
<span>M=mass of rod </span>
<span>L=length of rod </span>
<span>v=velocity of clay</span>
A light-year is how astronomers measure distance in space.
-Light can travel 300,000 kilometres in one seconds!
Light year is the distance that light travel can travel in one year.
-Light can also travel 9,00,000,000,000 kilometers.
-One light is about 10 trillion km.
-Almost 300 years ago ,a Danish scientist named olaus roemer,was the fist man to estimate the distance light travels in a year -and using that he figure out the approximate speed of light!
Answer:
<u>Chemical changes</u> are recognized when a substance changes its properties permanently and it cannot be the same substance as before.
Instead the<u> physical changes</u><u> </u>implies that if you can return to the same substance through a reverse process.
Explanation:
A chemical change is, by example, a combustion, if a sheet of paper burns, its result is ashes, the ashes cannot go back to being a sheet of paper because its properties changed, heat energy was generated that changed matter permanently.
A physical change, by example, is that of freezing water, the water becomes ice, but this can easily become water again if the temperature is increased, its properties do not change and the chemistry of the substance does not change.
Answer:
energy is the capacity to do work
Answer:
6 gallons
Explanation:
At 30 mph, the fuel mileage is 25 mpg.
After 5 hours, the distance traveled is:
30 mi/hr × 5 hr = 150 mi
The amount of gas used is:
150 mi × (1 gal / 25 mi) = 6 gal
