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

The airplane is flying with a constant velocity. Which force acting on the airplane below represents the friction from air resis
tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer to the question is  C i.e C represents the friction from air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand friction.

The friction is the opposing force which acts tangentially between two bodies in contact when there is a relative motion between them.

The air resistance is that frictional force which is provided by the air to the moving body through it. Hence, the friction from air resistance will be directed opposite to the motion of the body.

In the given diagram, the airplane is going horizontally. The force A acts in forward direction while force C acts in backward direction. The forces B and D are acting vertically.  There is no motion in vertical direction. Hence, the net force of A and C will cause the airplane to move.

As the plane is moving along the direction of A, the frictional force must act along the direction of C.

amm1812

Answer:

q=3.5*10^-4

Explanation:

<u>concept:</u>

The force acting on both charges is given by the coulomb law:

F=kq1q2/r^2

the centripetal force is given by:

Fc=mv^2/r

The kinetic energy is given by:

KE=1/2mv^2

<u>The tension force:</u>

<u><em>when the plane is uncharged </em></u>

T=mv^2/r

T=2(K.E)/r

T=2(50 J)/r

T=100/r

<u><em>when the plane is charged </em></u>

T+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(K.E)charged/r

100/r+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(53.5 J)/r

q=√(2r[53.5 J-50 J]/k)                                          √= square root on whole

q=√2(2)(53.5 J-50 J)/8.99*10^9

q=3.5*10^-4
