Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

$\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}$

where $I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2$ is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

$\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2}$ so $\vec{\omega} \neq 0$ unless $\vec{r}$ ║ $\vec{v}$ .

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.

Convert the mass to kgs thanks

Natali [406]

Memorize this and you'll be able to do ALL of these: <em>1 kg = 1,000 g</em>

So if you have some grams, divide the number by 1,000 to get kilograms.

1,000 g = 1.000 kg

500 g = 0.500 kg

100 g = 0.100 kg

50 g = 0.050 kg

20 g = 0.020 kg

10 g = 0.010 kg

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Δθ₁ = 172.5 rev

Δθ₁h = 43.1 rev

Δθ₂ = 920 rev

Δθ₂h = 690 rev

Explanation:

Assuming uniform angular acceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the total angle rotated during the acceleration process, from rest to its operating speed:

$\Delta \theta = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} (1)$

Now, we need first to find the value of the angular acceleration, that we can get from the following expression:

$\omega_{f1} = \omega_{o} + \alpha * \Delta t (2)$

Since the machine starts from rest, ω₀ = 0.
We know the value of ωf₁ (the operating speed) in rev/min.
Due to the time is expressed in seconds, it is suitable to convert rev/min to rev/sec, as follows:

$3450 \frac{rev}{min} * \frac{1 min}{60s} = 57.5 rev/sec (3)$

Replacing by the givens in (2):

$57.5 rev/sec = 0 + \alpha * 6 s (4)$

Solving for α:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{57.5 rev/sec}{6 sec} = 9.6 rev/sec2 (5)$

Replacing (5) and Δt in (1), we get:

$\Delta \theta_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 36 sec2 = 172.5 rev (6)$

in order to get the number of revolutions during the first half of this period, we need just to replace Δt in (6) by Δt/2, as follows:

$\Delta \theta_{1h} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t/2)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 9 sec2 = 43.2 rev (7)$

In order to get the number of revolutions rotated during the deceleration period, assuming constant deceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation:

$\Delta \theta = \omega_{o} * \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} (8)$

First of all, we need to find the value of the angular acceleration during the second period.
We can use again (2) replacing by the givens:
ωf =0 (the machine finally comes to an stop)
ω₀ = ωf₁ = 57.5 rev/sec
Δt = 32 s

$0 = 57.5 rev/sec + \alpha * 32 s (9)$

Solving for α in (9), we get:

$\alpha_{2} =- \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{-57.5 rev/sec}{32 sec} = -1.8 rev/sec2 (10)$

Now, we can replace the values of ω₀, Δt and α₂ in (8), as follows:

$\Delta \theta_{2} = (57.5 rev/sec*32) s -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(32s)^{2} = 920 rev (11)$

In order to get finally the number of revolutions rotated during the first half of the second period, we need just to replace 32 s by 16 s, as follows:
$\Delta \theta_{2h} = (57.5 rev/sec*16 s) -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(16s)^{2} = 690 rev (12)$

A pendulum is transported from sea-level, where the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.80 m/s2, to the bottom of Death Valley. A

tatyana61 [14]

Answer: the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration due to gravity at the point is g = 9.8 m/s²

Lets say the acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of Death valley is g'

as the period of the pendulum is decreased by 3.00%

T' = 0.97 T

T is the period of the pendulum at sea level and T' is the period of the pendulum at bottom of Death valley

therefore from the relation

T = 2π√(l/g)

g'/g = T²/T'²

g' = (T²/ (0.97T)²)g

g' = 1.063g

g' = 10.417 m/s²

therefore the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

A positively charged object is brought near but not in contact with the top of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope. The experime

Olin [163]

Answer:

The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.

Explanation:

This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.

Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.

So, the leaves move further apart.
