A wheel is rotating freely at angular speed 660 rev/min on a shaft whose rotational inertia is negligible. A second wheel, initi

ally at rest and with 5 times the rotational inertia of the first, is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. (a) What is the angular speed of the resultant combination of the shaft and two wheels? (b) What fraction of the original rotational kinetic energy is lost?

Answer:

(a)  110 rev/ min

(b) 5/6

Explanation:

As per the conservation of linear momentum,

L ( initial ) = L ( final )

I' ω' = ( I' + I'' ) ωf

I' is the rotational inertia of first wheel and I'' is the rotational inertia of second wheel which is at rest.

(a)

So,    ωf = I' ω' /  ( I' + I'' )

As I'' = 5I'

ωf = I' ω' /  ( I' + 5I' )

ωf = ω'/ 6

now we know ω' = 660 rev /  min

therefore    ωf = 660/6

                       = 110 rev/ min

(b)

Initial kinetic energy will be K'

K' = I'ω'² / 2

and final K.E. will be   K'' =  ( I' + I'' )ωf² / 2

                                   K'' = ( I' + 5I' ) (ω'/ 6)²/ 2

                                   K'' = 6I' ω'²/72

                                   K'' = I' ω'²/ 12

therefore the fraction lost is

                ΔK/K' = ( K' - K'' ) / K'

                           =  {( I'ω'² / 2) - (I' ω'²/ 12)} / ( I'ω'² / 2)

                            = 5/6

On the decibel scale, an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of __________times?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The decibel or decibel, is a unit that relates two values ​​of sound pressure, and electrical power. the base unit is the bel, but given the amplitude but for practicality, a submultiple, the decibel, is used. It is a scalar expression .

Zero belios is the reference value used as a base, hence a bel is equivalent to 10 decibels and means that there is a power increase of 10 times over the reference value.

Suppose you give a 10 Newton push to Ryan on skis (he weighs 50 kg), how much will he accelerate?
Talja [164]

Well we can just use F=ma. The force is 10N, the mass is 50 kg, solve for a. Well since we kg and N, no conversion is necessary. So just plugging in the numbers, we get

10N = 50 kg · a

\frac{10N}{50kg}=a

A newton is just \frac{kg·m}{s^{2}}

a=\frac{\frac{10kg·m}{s^{2}}}{50kg}

The s^2 and 50 kg you multiply

a=\frac{10kg·m}{50kg·s^{2}}

The kg's cancel and 10/50 is 1/5

\frac{1}{5}·\frac{m}{s^{2}}

So the acceleration is 1/5 m/s^2

Laskar, J.: 1990, The chaotic motion of the solar system. A numerical estimate of the size of the chaotic zones, Icarus, 88, 266
balandron [24]

The chaotic nature of the Solar System excluding Pluto was established by the numerical computation of the maximum Lyapunov exponent of its secular system over 200 myr.

<h3>What is chaotic motion of the solar system ?</h3>

There has been an increase in awareness of chaotic dynamics in the solar system over the past 20 years. The orbits of tiny objects in the solar system, such as asteroids, comets, and interplanetary dust, are now known to be chaotic and to experience significant variations across geological time periods.

  • a completely unpredictable orbit, or one where significant changes in the orbit can result from even small changes in the position and/or velocity of the orbiting entity.

The conventional system of signs that indicate relative durations of long and short sounds is called.
Rudiy27

Musical notation is the term used to describe the common system of signs used to denote the relative duration of long and short sounds.

<h3>What is a musical notation?</h3>

Music notation, often known as musical notation, is any technique used to graphically express audibly perceived music performed with instruments or sung by a human voice using written, printed, or other symbol-based representations. This includes notation for periods of silence like rests.

Throughout history, many civilizations have used different types of notation, and the knowledge of early musical notation is generally sparse. Different musical genres and cultural groups employ various methods of music notation, even during the same time period, such as the 2010s. For instance, while sheet music with staves and note-heads is the most popular method for professional classical musicians, the Nashville Number System is the main method used by professional country music session musicians.
