A diver can reduce her moment of inertia by a factor of about 3.5 when changing from the straight position to the tuck position.

If she makes two rotations in 1.5 seconds when in the tuck position, what is her angular speed (rad/sec) when in the straight position?

Answer:

29.3 rad/s

Explanation:

Moment of inertia in straight position, I1 = I

He takes 2 rotations in 1.5 second

So, Time period, T = 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 second

w1 = 2 x 3.14 / T = 2 x 3.14 / 0.75 = 8.37 rad/s

Moment of inertia in tucked position, I2 = I / 3.5

Let the new angular speed is w2.

By the use of conservation of angular momentum, if no external torque is applied, then angular momentum is constant.

L1 = L2

I1 w1 = I2 w2

I x 8.37 = I / 3.5 x w2

w2 = 29.3 rad/s

A double-slit arrangement produces interference fringes for sodium light (λ = 589 nm) that are 0.48° apart. What is the angular

larisa [96]

Answer:

0.38°

Explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle

m = Number

d = Distance

n = Refractive index of liquid = 1.25

a denotes air

l denotes liquid

In the case of double split interferance we have the relation

$m\lambda=dsin\theta$

For air

$m\lambda_a=dsin\theta_a$

For liquid

$m\lambda_l=dsin\theta_l$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{m\lambda_a}{m\lambda_l}=\frac{dsin\theta_a}{dsin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\lambda_a}{\lambda_l}=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}$

Wavelength ratio = $n$

$n=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{sin0.48}{1.25}=sin\theta_l\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=sin^{-1}\frac{sin0.48}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=0.38^{\circ}$

The angular separation is 0.38°

One mole of iron (6 x 10^23 atoms) has a mass of 56 grams, and its density is 7.87 grams per cubic centimeter, so the center-to-

choli [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

length l = 2.3 m

a = 0.12 cm = $0.12 \times 10^{-2} \ m$

$x = 1.17 \ cm = 1.17 \times 10^{-2}\ m$

m = 149 kg

$\delta = 7.87 \ g/cm^3$

$da = 2.28 \times 10^{-10}\ m$

$F_{net} = F-mg\\ \\0 = F - mg \\ \\ F = mg \\ \\ k_sx = mg \\ \\$

∴

$k_s = \dfrac{149(9.8)}{1.17 \times 10^{-2}} \\ \\ k_s = 124803.42 \ N /m$

$N_{chain} = \dfrac{A_{wire}}{A_{atom}} = \dfrac{A_w}{da^2}$

$N_{chain} = \dfrac{(a)^2}{(da)^2} = (\dfrac{a}{da})^2$

$N_{chain} = (\dfrac{0.12 \times 10^{-2} }{2.28 \times 10^{-10}})^2$

$N_{chain} = 2.77 \times 10^{13}$

$N_{bond} = \dfrac{L}{da} \\ \\ = \dfrac{2.3}{2.28 \times 10^{-10}} \\ \\ N_{bond} = 1.009 \times 10^{10}$

$\text{Finally; the stiffness of a single interatomic spring is:}$

$k_{si} =\dfrac{N_{bond}}{N_{chain}}\times k_s$

$k_{si} =\dfrac{(1.009 \times 10^{10})}{2.77*10^{13}}}\times (124803.42)$

$\mathbf{k_{si} =45.46 \ N/m}$

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

$Fr=\mu N$ [1]

Where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for $\mu$ :

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}$

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}$

$\mu=0.41$

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41
