Chemical energy .........
0.3 is your answer, good luck!!!!
Q = m * c * ΔΤ
ΔΤ = 40-20 = 20
Q = 1.5kg * 0.9 * 20
Q = 27J
Answer:

Explanation:
We use the following rotational kinematic equation to calculate the angular acceleration of the rod:

Here
is the final angular speed,
is the initial angular speed and
is the angular acceleration. The rod starts rotating from rest (
):

Recall that the angular speed is defined in function of the tangential speed (v) and the radius (r) of the circular motion:

In this case the radius is given by
. Replacing (2) in (1):
