Answer:

Moment of Inertia: It is the property of an object that measures, how much an object can resist it's rotational motion.

We have 4 masses at the corner of square of length L. The formula of moment of inertia will be

                                             I = mL^{2}

<u>Finding the Rotational Inertia of this system</u>

<em>(a) </em><em>that coincides with one side (Ia):</em>

The moment of inertia of each of the two sides is

                                            I = mL^{2}

so, both sides will have the moment of inertia equals to

                                            I = 2mL^{2}

<em>(b) </em><em>that bisects two opposite sides (Ib):</em>

The distance of all four masses from the axis=  L/2

so, the moment of inertia of all four masses will be

                                             I =4m(L/2)^{2}

                                              I =4m(L^{2})/4

The final value will be

                                             I = mL^{2}

A charge of 80 coulombs passes through a circuit in 5 seconds. What is the current through the circuit?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

I = 16amp

Explanation:

Charge coulomb ( Q ) = It

Where I =current in ampere

t = time = 5 seconds

80 = I × 5

I = 80/5

I = 16amp

The current through the circuit will be I = 16amp

Which of the following observations indicates that an object is falling at terminal velocity?
vitfil [10]

Answer:  D

Explanation:

When an object falls gravity is pulling down on it and is picking up speed, but as it gains speed air resistance becomes a faster. Air resistance increases with speed. And that force keeps it from accelerating eventually the object will pick up speed such that the force due to air resistance will keep it from getting any more speed at that point force due to air resistance is equal to its weight (mg) and the net force is equal to zero so it won’t accelerate any more at that point it is said to be moving in terminal velocity.

When an object has reached terminal velocity, it will have a constant velocity

You are given two unknown point charges, Q1, and Q2. At a point on the line joining them, one third of the way from Q1 to Q2 the
podryga [215]
The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case, 
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2  r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2  kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 =   1/4
