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 spring with spring constant of 34 N/m is stretched 0.12 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:0.253Joules

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.

F = ke where;

F is the force

k is spring constant = 34N/m

e is the extension = 0.12m

F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N

To get work done,

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.

Work done = Force × Distance

Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m

Work done = 4.08 × 0.062

Work done = 0.253Joules

Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules

On January 22, 1943, the temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, rose from -4.0∘F∘F to 45.0∘F∘F in just 2 minutes. What was the
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The change in temperature, \Delta T=9.45^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

The temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, rose from -4^{\circ} F\ to\ 45^{\circ} F in just 2 minutes. We need to find the temperature change in Celsius degrees. Change in temperature is given by final temperature minus initial temperature such that,

\Delta T=T_f-T_i\\\\\Delta T=45-(-4)\\\\\Delta T=49^{\circ}F

The relation between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit is given by :

F=1.8C+32

Here, F = 49 degrees

49=1.8C+32\\\\\Delta T=9.45^{\circ} C

So, the change in temperature is 9.45 degree Celsius. Hence, this is the required solution.

Through conservation, they can save water in their own houses by lessening the use of water in an unimportant purpose; they can turn of the faucet when it is not used; they can use their laundry water to clean the bathroom and there are more. Through Rain Water Tank, they can create this structure in order to collect rain water and store it in the tank then use it afterwards such as in watering the plants.
