Answer:

-20.0 kg m^2/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of an object in rotation is given by

L=I \omega

where

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular speed

In this problem, initially we have

I=2 kg m^2 is the moment of inertia of the wheel

\omega_i = 6.0 rad/s is the initial angular speed

So the initial angular momentum is

L_i = I\omega_i = (2)(6.0)=12 kg m^2/s

Later, a counterclockwise torque of

\tau=-5.0 Nm is applied

So the angular acceleration of the wheel is:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{-5.0}{2}=-2.5 rad/s^2 in the direction opposite to the initial rotation.

As a result, the final angular velocity of the wheel will be:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

t = 4.0 is the time interval

Solving,

\omega_f = +6.0 +(-2.5)(4.0)=-4 rad/s

which means that now the wheel is rotating in the counterclockwise direction.

Therefore, the new angular momentum of the wheel is:

L_f = I\omega_f =(2)(-4.0)=-8.0 kg m^2/s

So, the change in angular momentum is:

\Delta L=L_f - L_i = (-8.0-(12))=-20.0 kg m/s^2

a stomp rocket takes 1.5 seconds to reach its maximum height what was the initial velocity and what was the maximum height ?
Zinaida [17]
1) Vf = Vo - gt; Vf = 0 => Vo = gt = 9.8m/s^2 * 1.5s = 14.7 m/s

2) d = Vo*t - gt^2 /2 = 14.7m/s*1.5 - 9.8m/s^2 * (1.5s)^2 / 2 = 11.02 m

A uniformly charged ring of radius 10.0 cm has a total charge of 75.0 mC. Find the electric field on the axis of the ring at (a)
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(a) 6650246.305 N/C

(b) 24150268.34 N/C

(c) 6408227.848 N/C

(d) 665024.6305 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the ring (r) = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m           [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Total charge of the ring (Q) = 75.0 μC = 75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C    [1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C]

Electric field on the axis of the ring of radius 'r' at a distance of 'x' from the center of the ring is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{kQx}{(x^2+r^2)^\frac{3}{2}}

Plug in the given values for each point and solve.

(a)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=1.00\ cm=0.01\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.01)}{((0.01)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{6750}{1.015\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=6650246. 305\ N/C

(b)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=5.00\ cm=0.05\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.05)}{((0.05)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{33750}{1.3975\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=24150268.34\ N/C

(c)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=30.0\ cm=0.30\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.30)}{((0.30)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{202500}{0.0316}\\\\E_x=6408227.848\ N/C

(d)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=100\ cm=1\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(1)}{((1)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{675000}{1.015}\\\\E_x=665024.6305\ N/C
