Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False

Physics
1 answer:
kompoz [17]3 years ago

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.

Ipatiy [6.2K]
(Missing question is: which of the following statements are true?)

a) <span>A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow through a circuit to a lower potential energy --> TRUE
That's true: the battery does the work to move the charges to one end of its terminal thus creating a potential difference between the two terminals. Then, when it is connected to the circuit, charges start to flow to the terminal at lower potential (through the circuit)

b) </span><span>the potential difference between the terminals of a battery, when no current flows to an external circuit, is referred to as the terminal voltage --> FALSE
This is false: when no current flows, it is called e.m.f. (electromotive force)

c) </span><span>the internal resistance of a battery decreases with decreasing temperature 
--> TRUE
In fact, the dependence of a resistance with the temperature is:
</span>R=R_0[1+\alpha (T-T_0)]
with \alpha being generally positive, therefore the value of the resistance is proportional to T, and when T decreases, R decreases as well.

<span>d) a battery is a device that produces electricity by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy --> TRUE
</span><span>That's true: a battery uses chemical reactions to create a potential difference between the two terminals that can be exploited to make charges flowing through a circuit.

To run a centrifuge correctly, you should:
ser-zykov [4K]
Balance tubes by spacing them equally around the centrifuge and Always balance tubes with other tubes containing a same volume of liquid are right. 
If you don't space them out equally, you will have a lot of broken glass to clean up...trust me. The same thing can happen if you don't have equal amounts of liquid in each tube, but it doesn't have to be exactly the same in every one.
