Consider the diatomic molecule oxygen O2 which is rotating in the xy plane about the z axis passing through its center, perpendi

cular to its length. The mass of each oxygen atom is 2.66 × 10−26 kg, and at room temperature, the average separation distance between the two oxygen atoms is 2.2 × 10−10 m (treat the atoms as point masses). If the angular speed of the molecule about the z axis is 5.49 × 1012 rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy? Answer in units of J.

Answer: 9.7*10^-21 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of oxygen atom, m = 2.66*10^-26 kg

Separation distance between the two atoms, r = 2.2*10^-10 m

Angular speed, w = 5.49*10^12 rad/s

First, we start by finding our moment of Inertia, I, using the relation

I = 1/2mr²

I = 1/2 * 2.66*10^-26 * (2.2*10^-10)²

I = 1/2 * 1.2874*10^-45

I = 6.437*10^-46 kgm²

The Rotational Kinetic Energy is given by

KE = 1/2Iw²

Now, using this value of I, we plug it in the energy equation.

KE = 1/2 * 6.437*10^-46 * (5.49*10^12)²

KE = 1/2 * 1.94*10^-20

KE = 9.7*10^-21 J

Thus, the rotational kinetic energy is 9.7*10^-21 J

sasho [114]

Answer:

Well if you want to be sure you should just throw it to the ground so then when he lands he can catch it.

If the cannon throws the banana with the same force the monkey falls

(m.g=Fz <=> m.9,81N/kg=...N).

Then the throw will slow down because of the gravitational pull.

Because the banana cannon is selfmade you can choose what mass the bananas in question have, so let that be the same as the monkeys.

The monkey falls with the speed of 9,81m.s => so it takes the monkey 7,1s to land.

If the cannon can shoot the banana at the same speed the monkey falls then they would cross in the middle.

So to do so you need to throw the bananas with a speed of at least 9,81m.s

Soo ... throw them with a force of that is greater then the gravitational pull and things will work out.

I'm sorry I don't know why I wrote all of this irrelevant information it's 2:21 right now and I'm tired.

kind regards

At what point does a rubber band have the most elastic potential energy? Explain.
madam [21]

Answer:

You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy. ... When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic (motion) energy.

klio [65]

Answer:

The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :

a=r\omega^2

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let r_1 is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and r_2 is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :

a_1=r_1\omega^2 ...... (1)

r_1=1\ m

Acceleration of Zak's is :

a_2=r_2\omega^2 .......(2)

r_2=2\ m

Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{a_2}{2}

So, the acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.
