Define couple and give 2 examples

Physics

zvonat [6]2 years ago

A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action. ... For example, the forces that two hands apply to turn a steering wheel are often (or should be) a couple. Each hand grips the wheel at points on opposite sides of the shaft.

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3.  Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where
v=r \omega
giving
E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
I_{cyl} =  \frac{1}{2}mr^2
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part.  Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.

By quadrupling the mass of the body hanging on the thread what will become the period of oscillation?​
nikklg [1K]

Well, the tension in the thread will probably quadruple, but the hanging body will continue to just hang there.  

The question gives us no evidence that it is doing any oscillating, and there's no reason for it to start just because it suddenly got heavier.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

b.  \Delta KE = 390 eV

Explanation:

As we know that the electric field due to infinite line charge is given as

E =\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

here we can find potential difference between two points using the relation

\Delta V = \int E.dr

now we have

\Delta V = \int(\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}).dr

now we have

\Delta V = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})

now plug in all values in it

\Delta V = \frac{12\times 10^{-9}}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{1+5}{1})

\Delta V = 216ln6 = 387 V

now we know by energy conservation

\Delta KE = q\Delta V

\Delta KE = (e)(387V) = 387 eV

A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) x_f=2.6m

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}

(c) Using the kinematics equation:

x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm  \frac{at^2}{2}

For the girl, we have x_0=0 and v_0=0. So:

x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)

For the sled, we have v_0=0. So:

x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s

Now, we solve (1) for x_f_g

x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m
