(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

Alecsey [184]

When the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up (during a new or full moon), the solar tide adds to the lunar tide to produce extremely high  tides and very low tides, both of which are known as spring tides.

  • Basically describes a situation in astronomy where three celestial bodies align in a straight line as part of a gravitational system. The phrase is frequently used to describe how the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in a straight line.
  • The moon is responsible for causing high and low tides. The tidal force is produced by the moon's gravitational pull. Earth and its water protrude outward on both the side that is closest to and farthest from the moon as a result of the tidal force. These watery peaks are high tide

A jet with mass m = 90000.0 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 1.6 m/s2.
leva [86]
This question requires the use of the equation of motion:
v = u + at [v is final velocity (0), u is initial velocity (24), a is acceleration, t is time (13)]
to calculate the acceleration. This can then be multiplied by the mass of the plane to obtain the net force via:
F = ma (F is force, m is mass, a is acceleration)
First, we calculate the acceleration:
0 = 24 + 13(a)
a = -24/13 m/s^2
The force is then:
F = 90000 * (-24/13)
F = -1.66*10^5 Newtons
The negative sign indicates that the force and acceleration are in the opposite direction as the velocity (since we took velocity to be positive)

leva [86]

The acceleration of this item will remain constant if I double the force and double the mass.

<h3>What does acceleration mean ?</h3><h3 />

The rate at which a moving object's speed and direction change over time. When something moves faster or slower, it is considered to be accelerating. Motion on a circle accelerates even while the speed is constant because the direction is always changing.

  • If an object is accelerating and moving in the appropriate direction, it has positive acceleration. The speeding automobile in the first scenario showed positive acceleration. The car is moving forward and accelerating in the same direction as the acceleration.
