(a) 2.42 J

The kinetic energy of a rotating object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}I \omega^2

where

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular speed

Here we have

\omega=5.88 rad/s at the lowest point of the trajectory

While the moment of inertia of a rod rotating around one end is

I=\frac{1}{3}ML^2 = \frac{1}{3}(0.250 kg)(1.3 m)^2=0.14 kg m^2

And substituting in the previous formula, we find the kinetic energy at the lowest position:

K=\frac{1}{2}(0.14 kg m^2)(5.88 rad/s)^2=2.42 J

(b) 0.99 m

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) must be conserved:

E=K+U

At the lowest point, we can take the potential energy as zero, so the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:

E=K=2.42 J

At the highest point in the trajectory, the rod is stationary, so the kinetic energy will be zero, and the mechanical energy will simply be equal to the gravitational potential energy:

E=2.42 J = U = mgh

where h is the heigth of the centre of mass of the rod with respect to the lowest point of the trajectory. Solving for h, we find

h=\frac{E}{mg}=\frac{2.42 J}{(0.250 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.99 m

The temperature of the cosmic background radiation is measured to be 2.7 k. What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral d
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m

Explanation:

The peak wavelength of the spectral distribution can be found by using Wien's displacement law:

\lambda=\frac{b}{T}

where

b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature

For the cosmic background radiation, the temperature is

T = 2.7 K

So, the corresponding peak wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K}{2.7 K}=1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m

drek231 [11]

Answer:

P₂ = 1.22 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the equation of state:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P₁ = initial pressure = 1 KPa

P₂ = final pressure = ?

V₁ = initial Volume = 1 liter

V₂ = final volume = 1.1 liter

T₁ = initial temperature = 290 k

T₂ = final temperature = 390 k

Therefore,

\frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)}{290\ k} =\frac{(P_2)(1.1\ liter)}{390\ k}\\\\P_2= \frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)(390\ k)}{(290\ k)(1.1\ liter)}

<u>P₂ = 1.22 kPa</u>
