Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

$I = mr^2$

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

$I\omega = constant$

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance is given by $r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m$

(b) Y component of distance is given by $r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m$

These are the x and y component of position vector

Three charged particles are positioned in the xy plane: a 50-nC charge at y = 6 m on the y axis, a –80-nC charge at x = –4 m on

leva [86]

Answer:48 V

Explanation:

Given

Three charged particle with charge

$q_1=50\ nC at y=6\ m$

$q_2=-80\ nC at x=-4\ m$

$q_3=70\ nC at y=-6\ m$

Electric Potential is given by

$V=\frac{kQ}{r}$

Distance of $q_1$ from $x=8\ m$

$d_1=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}$

$d_1=\sqrt{36+64}$

$d_1=10\ m$

similarly $d_2=8-(-4)$

$d_2=12\ m$

$d_3=\sqrt{(-6)^2+8^2}$

$d_3=\sqrt{36+64}$

$d_3=10\ m$

Potential at $x=8\ m$ is

$V_{net}=\frac{kq_1}{d_1}+\frac{kq_2}{d_2}+\frac{kq_3}{d_3}$

$V_{net}=k[\frac{q_1}{d_1}+\frac{q_2}{d_2}+\frac{q_3}{d_3}]$

$V_{net}=9\times 10^9[\frac{50}{10}-\frac{80}{12}+\frac{70}{10}]\times 10^{-9}$

$V_{net}=9\times 5.33$

$V_{net}=47.97\approx 48\ V$

The energy efficiency of a car is approximately 20%. If you put 10 gallons of gas into the car, how many gallons are “wasted”?

podryga [215]

First, you find what 20% of 10 gallons of gas would be. This will show how many gallons the car actually uses.
10 gallons x 20% =
10 x 0.20 =
2 gallons used

Then you subtract that number from the total 10 gallons to get how many gallons of gas would be wasted.
10 gallons - 2 gallons =
8 gallons of gas wasted

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c) v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

Wₓ = m a

W sin θ = m a

a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

θ' = 9/2 θ

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

Emf = K = ½ m v²

Em₀ = Emf

g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
