A 1.8 kg uniform rod with a length of 90 cm is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot. It is free to rotate about the pivot

in the vertical plane. The rod is held in the horizontal position and released from rest. What is the initial angular acceleration of the rod and the initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

Answer:

a. 32.67 rad/s²  b. 29.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod

Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.

So, Iα = WL

mL²α/3 = mgL

dividing through by mL, we have

Lα/3 = g

multiplying both sides by 3, we have

Lα = 3g

dividing both sides by L, we have

α = 3g/L

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 3g/L

= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m

= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²

= 32.67 rad/s²

b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

c. hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior

Explanation:

Granulation is the grainy appearance of the solar photosphere produced by the top of the convection cells in the sun.

The grainy appearance are produced by granules on the photosphere of the sun and granules are caused by convection currents of plasma within the sun's convection zone.

The interior of these granules are brighter (and thus hotter) than the exterior of the granules which are darker.

<u>So, the granulation pattern that astronomers have observed on the surface of the Sun tells us that hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior.</u>

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

i think it would be which angle converts the most potential energy to into kinetic energy of the turbine

Explanation: because the windmill makes kinetic energy and converts it into mechanical power. then a generator takes the mechanical power and makes it into electricity

igomit [66]

Answer:

Pseudoscience

Explanation:

Predicting future events in a person's life based on the lines on the palm of the hand is an example of Pseudoscience. A pseudoscience is a false science that makes claims based on faulty or nonexistent scientific evidence and often characterized by contradictory, excessive claims, etc. These types of Pseudoscientific beliefs are common due to widespread "scientific illiteracy among different societies.
