How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer

1 answer:

6 0

We want to find how much momentum the dumbbell has at the moment it strikes the floor. Let's use this kinematics equation:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad

Vf is the final velocity of the dumbbell, Vi is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and d is the height of its fall.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (dumbbell starts falling from rest)

a = 10m/s² (we'll treat downward motion as positive, this doesn't affect the result as long as we keep this in mind)

d = 80×10⁻²m

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf² = 2(10)(80×10⁻²)

Vf = ±4m/s

Reject the negative root.

Vf = 4m/s

The momentum of the dumbbell is given by:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

m = 10kg

v = 4m/s (from previous calculation)

Plug in the values and solve for p:

p = 10(4)

p = 40kg×m/s

Similarities:
The halogens like noble gases are gaseous im nature. Example,
Chlorine, bromine are halogens and argon , xenon are noble gases.
Both are non-metals.

Differences: Halogens are very reactive because their octet needs only one electron tk complete. But, the nobles gases are quite stable and unreactive because the have complete octets.

An oscillator consists of a block of mass 0.628 kg connected to a spring. When set into oscillation with amplitude 27 cm, the os

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

T=0.372 s, f=2.7 Hz, w=16.9 rad/s, k=179.2 N/m, v= 8.78 m/s, F= 48.4 N

Explanation:

a.)

Period: It is already given in the question "oscillator repeats its motion every 0.372 s".

So T=0.372 s

frequency= f = 1/ T

f = 1/ 0.372

f=2.7 Hz

c).

Angular frequency= w= 2πf

w= 2*π*2.7

w=16.9 rad/s

Spring Constant:

As w= $\sqrt{k/m}$

⇒w²= k/m

⇒k= m*w²

⇒k= 0.628 * 16.9² N/m

⇒k=179.2 N/m

The mass will have maximum speed when it passes through the mean position.

At mean position

Maximum elastic potential energy = Maximum kinetic energy

1/2 k A² = 1/2 m v² ( A is amplitude of oscillation)

⇒ v= $\sqrt{k A^2/m}$

⇒ v= $\sqrt{179.2 * 0.27/ 0.628}$ \

⇒ v= 8.78 m/s

Maximum force will be exerted on the block when it is at maximum distance.

F= k* A ( A is amplitude of oscillation)

F= 179.2 * 0.27 N

F= 48.4 N

A flat disk, a solid sphere, and a hollow sphere each have the same mass m and radius r. The three objects are arranged so that

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:The rotational inertia of any object depends directly on the distance the mass is from the axis of a rotating object

Having more mass at the sides will increase the rotational inertia of the object that is why a Hollow sphere having same M and R as the solid one has more rotational inertia as it has more mass at the sides.

The sphere have some mass at the center but most of its mass is closer to its radius and thus have more inertia than flat Disk.

The same relation exist between a flat disk and hollow sphere. The hollow sphere have some mass at the center but most of its mass is closer to its radius and thus have more inertia.

The rotational of the objects can be calculated by these equations

$FlatDisk=\frac{1}{4} MR^2\\Sphere=\frac{2}{5} MR^2\\HollowSphere=\frac{2}{3} MR^2\\$

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that a light bulb will glow when electrons flow through it. As the electron flow increases, the brightness increases as well. A student hooks up two circuits containing three light bulbs in each circuit. In one circuit the lights are connected in series and in the other circuit the lights are hooked up in parallel.

If you could only see the lights in the circuit and the wires were covered up, how could you tell the type of circuit?

The type of the circuit can be determined if you loose or unscrew one light bulb, all other bulbs will be switched of if connected in series. But if the others remain on it is a parallel circuit.
