Answer:

2nd answer 3.2m/s is a scalar l, all others are vectors.

Explanation:

In order to be considered as a vector a certain quantity must have both a magnitude and a direction.

The most common example is velocity. It has both magnitude and direction, like the 1st and the last answers.

The 3rd answer is an acceleration. It is also given with its direction. So we have to consider it also as a vector.

But 2nd answer has no direction mentioned, so it is considered as a scalar.

A 300 g ball and a 600 g ball are connected by a 40-cm-lon massless, rigid rod. The structure rotates about its center of me at

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

KE = 1.75 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball, m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 Kg

mass of ball 2, m₂ = 600 g = 0.6 Kg

length of the rod = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Angular speed = 100 rpm= $100\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

=10.47\ rad/s

now, finding the position of center of mass of the system

r₁ + r₂ = 0.4 m.....(1)

equating momentum about center of mass

m₁r₁ = m₂ r₂

0.3 x r₁ = 0.6 r₂

r₁ = 2 r₂

Putting value in equation 1

2 r₂ + r₂ = 0.4

r₂ = 0.4/3

r₁ = 0.8/3

now, calculation of rotational energy

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega^2+\dfrac{1}{2}I_2\omega^2$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\omega^2 (I_1 +I_2)$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\omega^2 (m_1r_1^2 +m_2r^2_2)$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 10.47^2(0.3\times (0.8/3)^2 +0.6\times (0.4/3)^2)$

KE = 1.75 J

the rotational kinetic energy is equal to 1.75 J

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits

Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.
