As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis
klio [65]

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.

Use the kinematic equation:

d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The block starts from rest, so:

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\12 = \frac{1}{2}a(4^2)\\\\\frac{24}{16} = a = 1.5 m/s^2

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

F = ma = m_bg - T

mb = mass of the block

T = tension of string

Solve for tension:

T = m_bg - ma = 8.2(9.8) - 8.2(1.5) = 68.06 N

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

\Sigma \tau = rF\\\\\Sigma\tau = rT

Rewrite:

I\alpha = rT

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

\alpha = a/r\\\\\alpha = 1.5/.42= 3.57 rad/sec^2

Now, plug in the values into the equation:

I(3.57) = (0.42)(68.06)\\\\I = (0.42)(68.06)/(3.57) = \boxed{8.00 kgm^2}

How does battery generate electric current in a circuit?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. It creates negative electric charges and pushes them into the circuit

Explanation:

A battery has three main parts. The Cathode (Positive), the Electrolytes (energy source), and the Anode (negative). The anode takes energy from the electrolytes and creates more electrons. And because subatomic particles with the same charge don't like being in the same place, they move through the circuit to reach the cathode because opposites attract.

I hope this helps!

As a transverse wave travels through a rope from left to right, the parts of the rope _______.
kupik [55]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Are moving up and down.

As a transverse wave travels through a rope from left to right, the parts of the rope <u>are moving up and down</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Transverse waves occur when a disturbance causes oscillations perpendicular to the propagation, that is the direction of energy transfer.
  • <em><u>Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the transverse wave itself is moving.  For example, if the wave is moving to the right, the particles of the medium are moving up and down.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, as a transverse wave travels through a rope from left to right, the parts of the rope are moving up and down.</u></em>
