A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 84.0 cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass

0.600 kg clings to one end of the stick, and a mouse with mass 0.200 kg clings to the other end. The system is released from rest with the rod horizontal. If the animals can manage to hold on, what are their speeds as the rod swings through a vertical position?

Answer:

v = 2.029 m/s

Explanation:

Given

L = 84.0 cm   ⇒  R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m

m₁ = 0.600 kg

m₂ = 0.200 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = ?

Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).

In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.

then

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J

Ef = Kf + Uf

⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²

⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464

⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464

Since

0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464  ⇒  v = 2.029 m/s

v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.

v₁ = v₂ = v    ⇒  ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂  ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R  ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω

⇒ v = ω*R

A ball, with a mass of 5.9kg, is thrown directly upwards. It reaches a maximum height of 10m from the point at which it was rele
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

At the beginning, when the ball is thrown from the ground, it has only kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m = 5.9 kg is the mass of the ball and v is its initial speed.

As the ball goes up, its speed decreases, so its kinetic energy decreases and converts into gravitational potential energy. When the ball reaches its maximum height, the speed has become zero, and all the kinetic energy has been converted into gravitational potential energy, given by:

U=mgh

where g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h = 10 m is the maximum height reached by the ball.

Since we can ignore air resistance, energy must be conserved, so the initial kinetic energy must be equal to the final potential energy of the ball, so we can write:

K=U\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

And we can solve the equation to find v, the initial speed of the ball:

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(10 m)}=14 m/s

Which of the following is not possible? A. Gas flow equals pressure gradient over resistance. B. Resistance equals pressure grad
kaheart [24]

Answer:

C. Pressure gradient equals gas flow over resistance.

Explanation:

As we know that pressure gradient is the driving force for the gas to flow from one point to other point

And we know that the flow rate is directly proportional to the driving force and it inversely depends on the resistance to flow

so we can say

Flow Rate = \frac{Driving \: force}{Resistance}

Flow Rate = \frac{Pressure \: Gradient}{Resistance}

so we can say that correct statements are as below

A. Gas flow equals pressure gradient over resistance.

B. Resistance equals pressure gradient over gas flow.

D. The amount of gas flowing in and out of the alveoli is directly proportional to the difference in pressure or pressure gradient between the external atmosphere and the alveoli.

A radio have a wavelength of 0.3m and travels at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave?​
Ilya [14]

The frequency of the wave is 1\cdot 10^9 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency, the wavelength and the speed of a wave are related by the following equation:

c=f \lambda

where

c is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the radio wave in this problem,

\lambda = 0.3 m

c=300,000,000 m/s = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s

Therefore, the frequency is:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{0.3}=1\cdot 10^9 Hz
