Using K.E=1/2MV^2
answer is 125joules
Among the given choices, the ionic compound is D. Magnesium Chloride (<span>MgCl2</span>) where magnesium has a +2 charge while chloride has a -1 charge. Ionic compounds are chemical compounds comprising of ions held together by electrostatic forces named as ionic bonding.
The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:
I = mr²
I is the moment of inertia
m is the mass
r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass
The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.
The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.
I = ∑mr²
The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is
I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4
The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is
I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4
The total moment of inertia of the system is
I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]
I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2
I = 10mℓ²/2
I = 5mℓ²
It is the mathematical and conceptual framework for contemporary Elementary practical physicas. if that make sense to you.
