1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration  1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg

choose A

A 25 kg circular disk has a diameter of 2.5 feet and a thickness of 2.5 cm. Find the density of the disk in kg/m3. Next, find th
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Assume that \rm g= 9.81\; N\cdot kg^{-1}; \rho(\text{Water}) = \rm 1000\;kg\cdot m^{-3}.

Density of the disk: approximately \rm 2.19\times 10^{3}\; kg\cdot m^{-3}.

Weight of the disk: approximately \rm 245\;N.

Buoyant force on the disk if it is submerged under water: approximately \rm 112\; N.

The disk will sink when placed in water.

Explanation:

Convert the dimensions of this disk to SI units:

  • Diameter: d = \rm 25\; inches = (25\times 0.3048)\; m = 0.762\;m.
  • Thickness h = \rm 2.5\; cm = (2.5\times 0.01)\; m = 0.025\;m.

The radius of a circle is 1/2 its diameter:

\displaystyle r = \rm \frac{1}{2}\times 0.762\;m = 0.381\; m.

Volume of this disk:

V(\text{disk}) = \pi\cdot r^{2}\cdot h = \pi\times 0.381^{2}\times 0.025 \approx 0.0114009\; m^{3}.

Density of this disk:

\displaystyle \rho(\text{disk}) = \frac{m}{V} = \rm \frac{25\; kg}{0.0114009\; m^{3}} = 2.19\times 10^{3}\;kg\cdot m^{-3}.

\rho(\text{disk}) >\rho(\text{water}) indicates that the disk will sink when placed in water.

Weight of the object:

W(\text{disk}) = m\cdot g = \rm 25\times 9.81 = 245.25\; N.

The buoyant force on an object in water is equal to the weight of water that this object displaces. When this disk is submerged under water, it will displace approximately \rm 0.0114009\; m^{3} of water. The buoyant force on the disk will be:

\begin{aligned}F(\text{buoyant force}) &= W(\text{Water Displaced}) \\& = \rho\cdot V(\text{Water Displaced})\cdot g\\ & = \rm 1\times 10^{3}\; kg\cdot m^{-3}\times 0.0114009\; m^{3}\times 9.81\; N\cdot kg^{-1}\\ &\approx \rm 112\; N\end{aligned}.

The size of this disk's weight is greater than the size of the buoyant force on it when submerged under water. As a result, the disk will sink when placed in water.

In atoms, electrons surround the nucleus in
nasty-shy [4]

In atoms, electrons surround the nucleus in specific energy levels.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Atom, actually considered as the tiny part that is ever present in this universe. Many theories and experiments were conducted, for studying what was present inside of an atom, and many theories came into light.

And finally, Bohr-Sommerfeld Theory stated the final conclusion, that the positive charge is at the centre of the nucleus, and all the electrons revolve in their specific energy levels.  If an atom wants to move to lower energy state, it should emit energy, whereas for going to higher state, it should gain energy.

A uniform thin rod of length 0.11 m and mass 4.6 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. T
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is based on conservation of rotational momentum.

Moment of inertia of rod about its center

= 1/12 m l² , m is mass of the rod and l is its length .

= 1 / 12 x 4.6 x .11²

I = .004638 kg m²

The angular momentum of the bullet about the center of rod = mvr

where m is mass , v is perpendicular component of velocity of bullet and r is distance of point of impact of bullet fro center .

5 x 10⁻³ x v sin60 x .11 x .5  where v is velocity of bullet

According to law of conservation of angular momentum

5 x 10⁻³ x v sin60 x .11 x .5 = ( I + mr²)ω , where ω is angular velocity of bullet rod system and  ( I + mr²) is moment of inertia of bullet rod system .

.238 x 10⁻³ v = ( .004638 + 5 x 10⁻³ x .11² x .5² ) x 12

.238 x 10⁻³ v = ( .004638 + .000015125 ) x 12

.238 x 10⁻³ v = 55.8375 x 10⁻³

.238 v = 55.8375

v = 234.6 m /s
