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

A conservative force does the same work regardless of the path taken.
ella [17]

A conservative force is a force that when work is done against this force the work done does not depend on the path taken only the initial and final position.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 115 km

r = 80 km/hr

t = ?

Equation

d = r*T

Solution

115 = 80 * t    Divide by 80

115/80 = t

t = 1.4375 hours.

Which description of energy changes in nuclear reactions is correct?
Kryger [21]
The answer for this question is letter "B.Fission releases energy, and its products have greater stability."

Fission and Fusion are both nuclear reactions that when they release energy, they make the nuclei more stable. So among the choices, option B is the most fitting for the definition.

Label each formula in the chemical quation below as either a reactant of a product.
Karolina [17]
Fe and S are both reactants: they react with each other to give a different compound.

FeS is the product of the reaction: it was formed or produced as result of the reaction of Fe and S.

Answer:

Fe: reactant
S: reactant
FeS: product
