A 2.10 kg textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diameter

is 0.170 m, to a hanging book with mass 3.00 kg. The system is released from rest, and the books are observed to move 1.20 m in 0.900 s.
(a) What is the tension in each part of the cord?
(b) What is the moment of inertia of the pulley about its rotation axis?

Answer:

(A) 6.2 N and 20.52 N

(B) I = 0.035 kg m^{2}

Explanation:

mass of first book (M1) = 2.1

mass of second book (M2) = 3 kg

diameter of pulley = 0.17 m

distance (s) = 1.2 m

time = 0.9 secs

(A) what is the tension in each part of the cord

    we first have to get the acceleration of the first  book

 s = ut + 0.5 at^{2}

 since the books are initially at rest u = 0

s = 0.5 at^{2}

1.2 = 0.5 x a x 0.9^{2}

a = 2.96 m/s^[2}

  • Tension at T1 = M1 x A1

       T1 = 2.1 x 2.96 = 6.2 N

  • Tension at T2 = m x ( g - a )

          (g-a) is the net acceleration of the first book

           T2 = 3 x ( 9.8 - 2.96 ) = 20.52 N

(B) What is the moment of inertia of the pulley?

     taking clockwise rotation of the pulley to be negative while

     anticlockwise to be positive, we can see from the diagram that T1      

     causes a clockwise rotation while T2 produces an anticlockwise rotation

       ( T2 - T1 )r = I∝

         where ∝ is the angular acceleration of the pulley relative to its radial  

         acceleration, ∝ = \frac{a}{r}

          ( T2 - T1 )r = I\frac{a}{r}

          I = \frac{(T2 - T1)r^{2}}{a}

          I = \frac{(20.52 - 6.2)0.085^{2}}{2.96}

         I = 0.035 kg m^{2}

A student on an amusement park ride moves in circular path with a radius of 3.5 m once every 4.5 s. What is the tangential veloc
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

the radius of the circular path, r = 3.5 m

duration of the motion, t = 4.5 s

let the student's tangential velocity = v

The tangential velocity of the student is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{2\pi r}{t} \\\\v = \frac{2 \pi \times 3.5}{4.5} \\\\v = 4.89 \ m/s

Therefore, the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}

where

L_0 is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m

A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec            

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car a_1=5.9m/sec^2

Acceleration of the stock car a_2=3.6m/sec^2

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So s_1=s_2

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So \frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m

(c) From first equation pf motion v = u+at

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec
