An unruly student with a spitwad (a lump of wet paper) of mass 20 g in his pocket finds himself in the school library where ther

e is a ceiling fan overhead. He relieves his boredom by throwing the spitwad up at the ceiling fan where it collides with, and sticks to, the end of one of the blades of the stationary ceiling fan. Its horizontal velocity vector is perpendicular to the long axis of the blade. If the fan is free to rotate (no friction at all) and has moment of inertia I=1.4kgm2 , if the spitwad has horizontal velocity 4 m/s, and if the spitwad sticks to the fan blade at a distance of 0.6 m from the rotation axis of the fan, how much time will it take the fan to move through one complete revolution after the spitwad hits it (closest answer)?
a. 1min
b. 2min
c. 3min
d. 4min
e. 5min
f. 6min

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is  C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

         

initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

        L_f = I₀ w + m r v

        L₀ = L_f

        m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = r w

        w = v / r

        m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

         m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

       v = \frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r}  +mr} \ r v_o

let's calculate

       v = \frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6  } + 0.020 \ 0.6  } \ 0.6 \ 4

       v = \frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4

       v = 0.02 m / s

         

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

        v = x / T

         T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

         x = 2π r

we substitute

         T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

         T = 2π 0.6/0.02

         T = 188.5 s

reduce

         t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is  C

A scale measures the weight of a light object to be 11.000 lbs ± 0.034 lbs. what is the uncertainty if this same scale is use to
Gre4nikov [31]

The uncertainty of the heavy object if the scale remains constant is 0.24 lbs.

<h3>What is uncertainty in measurement?</h3>
  • This is the error associated in an attempt measure the object accurately.

The percent uncertainty in measuring the light weight object is calculated as follows;

= \frac{0.034}{11} \times 100\%\\\\= 0.309\%

The uncertainty of the heavy object if the scale remains constant is calculated as follows;

= \frac{0.309}{100} \times 78.0 \ lbs\\\\= 0.24 \ lbs

The heat flux for a given wall is in the x-direction and given as q^n = 11 W/m^2, the walls thermal conductivity is 1.7 W/mK and
MrMuchimi

Answer:

\frac{dT}{dx} = 6.47 ^oC/m

Also as we can see the equation that heat flux directly depends on the temperature gradient so more is the temperature gradient then more will be the heat flux.

For positive temperature gradient the heat will flow outwards while for negative temperature gradient the heat will flow inwards

Explanation:

As we know that heat flux is given by the formula

q^n = K\frac{dT}{dx}

here we know that

K = thermal conductivity

\frac{dT}{dx} = temperature gradient

now we know that

q^n = 11 W/m^2

also we know that

K = 1.7 W/mK

now we have

11 = 1.7 \frac{dT}{dx}

so temperature gradient is given as

\frac{dT}{dx} = \frac{11}{1.7} = 6.47 K/m

also in other unit it will be same

\frac{dT}{dx} = 6.47 ^oC/m

Also as we can see the equation that heat flux directly depends on the temperature gradient so more is the temperature gradient then more will be the heat flux.

For positive temperature gradient the heat will flow outwards while for negative temperature gradient the heat will flow inwards
