(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 loop is in a magnetic field 0.20 T whose direction is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. At t = 0, the loop has area A
love history [14]

Answer:

Part a)

EMF = 14 \times 10^{-3} V

Part b)

EMF = 15.67 \times 10^{-3} V

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic flux through the loop is given as

\phi = B.A

now we have

\phi = B\pi r^2

now rate of change in flux is given as

\frac{d\phi}{dt} = B(2\pi r)\frac{dr}{dt}

now we know that

A = \pi r^2

0.285 = \pi r^2

r = 0.30 m

Now plug in all data

EMF = (0.20)\times 2\pi\times (0.30) \times (0.037)

EMF = 14 \times 10^{-3} V

Part b)

Now the radius of the loop after t = 1 s

r_1 = r_0 + \frac{dr}{dt}

r_1 = 0.30 + 0.037

r_1 = 0.337 m

Now plug in data in above equation

EMF = (0.20)\times 2\pi\times (0.337) \times (0.037)

EMF = 15.67 \times 10^{-3} V

A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 20.6 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of
lesya [120]

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = 20.6\times 10^3\ m

\theta = The angle subtended by moon = 9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad

Distance traveled is given by

s=r\times\theta

\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}

\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m
