Consider a solid sphere and a solid disk with the same radius and the same mass. Explain why the solid disk has a greater moment

of inertia than the solid sphere, even though it has the same overall mass and radius.

Answer:

Explanation:

In a Solid sphere; the moment of inertia around its geometrical axis can be expressed by using the formula:

\mathtt{I_s = \dfrac{2}{5} M_s R^2_s}

For the solid disk; the moment of inertia around the central axis is:

\mathtt{I_D= \dfrac{1}{2}M_DR_D^2}

Suppose M_D = M_S; then we can say both to be equal to M

As well as R_D = R_S; then that too can be equal to R

Now;

\mathtt{I_s = \dfrac{2}{5} M R^2} --- (1)

\mathtt{I_D= \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}---(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2, followed by dividing it by 2; we have:

\mathtt{I_s= \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2} \times \dfrac{2}{2}

I_s = \dfrac{4}{5} \times \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2 \\ \\ I_s = \dfrac{4}{5}\times I_D \\ \\ I_s > I_D

Suppose a 50 turn coil lies in the plane of the page in a uniform magnetic field that is directed into the page. The coil origin
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

EMF = 108.3 Volts

Explanation:

As per Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction we know that rate of change in magnetic flux will induce EMF in closed loop

So it is given as

EMF = N\frac{d\phi}{dt}

EMF = N\frac{BA - 0}{\Delta t}

now we know that

N = 50 turns

B = 1.5 T

A = 0.325 m^2

\Delta t = 0.225 s

now we have

EMF = (50)(\frac{1.5\times 0.325}{0.225})

EMF = 108.3 Volts

Why do the stars appear to rotate around Polaris?

A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 4.0 m/s^2 for 3 seconds, coasts for 2 s, and then slows down at a rate
zubka84 [21]
<span>FIRST SECTION You should use the formula for uniformly accelerated linear movement. Initial speed is 0 because it starts from rest. d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t =(1/2)*(4.0 m/s^2)*(3s)^2+0*3s=(1/2)*(4.0 m/s^2)*3^2*s^2+0=2.0 m*9=18m You can calculate the final speed with the other formula: v=a*t+vo=(4.0 m/s^2)*(3s)+0=(4.0 m/s)*(3)=12m/s SECOND SECTION You should use the formula for uniform linear movement. Velocity is a constant: it remains in 12m/s. d=v*t=12m/s*2s=12m*2=24m THIRD SECTION We should use the same formulas as the first section, but with different numbers. Initial velocity will be 12m/s, and then velocity will start to decrease until it gets to 0. We don’t know what the time is for this section. Acceleration is negative, because it’s slowing down. v=a*t+vo 0=-3.0 m/s^2*t+12m/s 3.0 m/s^2*t=12m/s t=(12m/s)/(3.0 m/s^2)=4(1/s)/(1/s^2)=4s^2/s=4s Now let’s use that time in the other formula: d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t =(1/2)*(-3.0 m/s^2)*(4s)^2+(12m/s)*3s=(-1.5 m/s^2)*4^2*s^2+12*3m*s/s=-1.5 m*4^2+36m=-1.5*16m+36m=-24m+36m=12m Now let’s add the 3 stages: d=18m+24m+12m=54m </span>
