Two horizontal rods are each held up by vertical strings tied to their ends. Rod 1 has length L and mass M; rod 2 has length 2L

and mass 2M. Each rod then has one of its supporting strings cut, causing the rod to begin pivoting about the end that is still tied up. Which rod has a larger initial angular acceleration?A Rod 1 B. Rod 2 C. The initial angular acceleration is the same for both.

Answer:

Rod 1 has greater initial angular acceleration; The initial angular acceleration for rod 1 is greater than for rod 2.

Explanation:

For the rod 1 the angular acceleration is

\tau_1 = I_1\alpha _1 \\\\\alpha_1 = \dfrac{\tau_1}{I_1}

Similarly, for rod 2

\alpha_2 = \dfrac{\tau_2}{I_2}.

Now, the moment of inertia for rod 1 is

I_1 = \dfrac{1}{3}ML^2,

and the torque acting on it is (about the center of mass)

\tau_1 = Mg\dfrac{L}{2};

therefore, the angular acceleration of rod 1 is  

\alpha_1 = \dfrac{Mg\dfrac{L}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{3}ML^2},

\boxed{\alpha_1 = \dfrac{3g}{2L} }

Now, for rod 2 the moment of inertia is

I_2 = \dfrac{1}{3}(2M)(2L)^2

I_2 = \dfrac{8}{3} ML^2,

and the torque acting is (about the center of mass)

\tau _2 = (2M)g \dfrac{(2L)}{2}

\tau _2 = 2MgL;

therefore, the angular acceleration \alpha_2 is

\alpha_2 = \dfrac{2MgL;}{\dfrac{8}{3} ML^2,}.

\boxed{\alpha_2 = \dfrac{3g}{4L}}

We see here that

\dfrac{3g}{2L} > \dfrac{3g}{4L}

therefore

\boxed{\alpha_1 > \alpha_2.}

In other words , the initial angular acceleration for rod 1 is greater than for rod 2.

The cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected and atmospheric pressure
jok3333 [9.3K]

Less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape from the open cylinder valve.

Cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane because of higher pressures.

<h3>What are compressed gases?</h3>

Compressed gases are gases which are compressed under high pressure in gas cylinders.

Cylinder valves are used to reduce the pressure of the compressed gases and in the process, some of the gas molecules escape.

Since the cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected at atmospheric pressure, less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape.

Since, the carbon dioxide not liquefy under pressure compared to butane, the cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane.

A child kicks a ball horizontally with a speed of 4.8 m/s off a deck 3.5 m off the ground. How far, in meters, from the deck doe
Vesna [10]

Answer:

2.605m

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Range (distance travelled in horizontal direction)

Range R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 4.8m/s

H is the maximum height = ?

g is the acc due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

R = 3.5m

Substitute into the formula and get H

3.5 = 4.8√2H/9.8

3.5/4.8 = √2H/9.8

0.7292 = √2H/9.8

square both sides

0.7292² = 2H/9.8

2H = 0.7292² * 9.8

2H = 5.21

H = 5.21/2

H = 2.605m

Hence the height of the ball from the ground is 2.605m
