If two objects A and B have the same kinetic energy but A has three times the momentum of B, what is the ratio of their inertias
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

\frac{inertia_B}{inertia_A}=9

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that:

- The kinetic energy of an object is given by K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the speed

- The momentum of an object is given by p=mv

- The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass, so we can write I=km, where k just indicates a constant of proportionality

In this problem, we have:

- K_A = K_B (the two objects have same kinetic energy)

- p_A = 3 p_B (A has three times the momentum of B)

Re-writing both equation we have:

\frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2\\m_A v_A = 3 m_B v_B

If we divide first equation by second one we get

v_A = 3 v_B

And if we substitute it into the first equation we get

m_A (3 v_B)^2 = m_B v_B^2\\9 m_A v_B^2 = m_B v_B^2\\m_B = 9 m_A

So, B has 9 times more mass than A, and so B has 9 times more inertia than A, and their ratio is:

\frac{I_B}{I_A}=\frac{km_B}{km_A}=\frac{9m_A}{m_A}=9

A(n) _____ satellite system employs many satellites, each in an orbit at an altitude of less than 1,000 miles.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The correct answer is a Low earth orbit.

Explanation:

A low earth orbit can be understood as an earth orbit with an altitude of 1,000 miles or less. It is a satellite sustem that employs many satelites, in fact, most man-made objects that are currently in outer-space are part of this low earth orbit. (LEO).

The most famous LEO satellite system is the one from planet earth. Almost every space flight that human beings have ever done are done in LEO, and every spacial station is located in this zone.

In conclusion, A low earth orbit satellite system employs many satellites, each in an orbit at an altitude of less than 1,000 miles.

A phonograph record accelerates from rest to 28.0 rpm in 5.73 s.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

a) \alpha=0.5117\ rad.s^{-2}

b) \theta=8.4\ rad

Explanation:

Given:

  • initial rotational speed of phonograph, \omega_i=0\ rad.s^{-1}
  • final rotational speed of phonograph, N_f=28\ rpm \Rightarrow \omega_f=2\pi\times\frac{28}{60} =2.932\ rad.s^{-1}
  • time taken for the acceleration, t=5.73\ s

a)

Now angular acceleration:

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

\alpha=\frac{2.932-0}{5.73}

\alpha=0.5117\ rad.s^{-2}

b)

Using eq. of motion:

\theta=\omega_i.t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha.t^2

\theta=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.5117\times 5.73^2

\theta=8.4\ rad

A 0.245 kg ball is thrown straight up from 2.07 m above the ground. Its initial vertical speed is 8.00 m/s. A short time later,
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 4.975 \: Joules

Explanation:

The data given in the question is :

Mass is 0.245 kg

Height from ground is 2.07 m

As we know , the work done is state function , it depends on initial and final position not on the path followed.

So, work done by gravity = change in potential energy

Work done = Initial potential energy - final potential energy

Insert values from question

Work done = mass \times gravity \times (change \: in \: height)

Work done = 0.245 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2.07 m

So, work done = 4.975 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity is 4.975 \: Joules
