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}

ear the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of
sesenic [268]

Answer:

a) V_{2/1}=0.8m/s

b) The second runner will win

c) d = 10.54m

Explanation:

For part (a):

V_{2/1} = V_{2} - V_{1} = 0.8m/s

For part (b) we will calculate the amount of time that takes both runners to cross the finish line:

t_{1} = \frac{X_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{250}{3.45}=72.46s

t_{2} = \frac{X_{2}}{V_{2}}=\frac{250+45}{4.25}=69.41s

Since it takes less time to the second runner to cross the finish line, we can say the she won the race.

For part (c), we know how much time it takes the second runner to win, so we just need the position of the first runner in that moment:

X1 = V1*t2 = 239.46m  Since the finish line was 250m away:

d = 250m - 239.46m = 10.54m

Newton's laws of motion are true on earth and space.
frez [133]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is a common misunderstanding that objects in space have no weight. If that were true, they would just float away from the Earth, the Sun and the other planets. Objects in low Earth orbit experience about 90% of the weight that they feel on the surface of the Earth.
