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

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.

Two cats are sitting on a 30 m hill. One cat
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Cat with 6 kg sitting on a 30 meter hill has greater potential energy.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy (J) = mass (kg) × gravitational field × height (m)

<h3 /><h3><u>Note</u>:</h3>

gravitational field in Earth is 10 N/kg = <u>fixed unit</u>

<h3 /><h3><u>Given</u>:</h3>

1st Cat: 4 kg

2nd Cat: 6 kg

Both of their height is 30 meters.

<h3><u>Solve for g.p.e</u>:</h3>

1st cat = mgh = 4 × 10 × 30 = 1200 Joules

2nd cat = mgh = 6 × 10 × 30 = 1800 Joules

A package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward at 15m/s. If the helicopter was 1000m above the ground when the package was
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

yi = Initial height of the helicopter

yf = final height of the helicopter

vyi = component of the initial vertical velocity of the helicopter

g = gravity constant (9.8m/s^2)

yf = yi + vyideltat - 1/2gt^2

0m = 1000m + (15m/2)deltat - 1/2(9.8m/s^2)t^2

-1000m = (15m/s)t - (-4.9m/s^2)t^2

Use the quadratic formula

4.8t^2 - 15t - 1000 = 0

t1 = 15.75s and t2 = -12.65

t2 is rejected, time can't be negative

Thus, it takes 15.75s before the package strikes the ground.
