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 cube made Of an unknown material has a height of 9 symeters the mass of this cube is 3645 g. calculate the density of this cub
kherson [118]

Answer: 5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Explanation:

The density \rho of a material is given by:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Where:

m=3645 g is the mass of the cube

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the volume of a cube is equal to the length L of its edge to the power of 3:

V=L^{3} (2)

If we know L=9 cm, the volume of this cube is:

V=(9 cm)^{3}=729 cm^{3} (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

\rho=\frac{3645 g}{729 cm^{3}} (4)

\rho=5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}} This is the density of the cube

A wooden block floats a liquid with 1/4 of it's volume above the liquid.find the density of the liquid given that the density of
exis [7]

675g/cm³ is the density of the liquid

Here we have given that

density of wood be ρ.

the volume of the block be V          

The volume of the block =1/4 v

The volume of the immersed block (v) =V-1/4V=3/4V

We know the weight of the block = the weight of the water displaced by the submerged part of the block.

i.e. V x ρ x g    

= 3/4 x900g/cm³                            

= 675g/cm³

Density is a measure of mass divided by the volume of an object. Defined as mass per unit volume. here from the above equation we have substituted the given value and  we got the answer as 675g/cm³
